ARTESCA Cyber Guarantee

We put $100,000 behind your cyber resilience

When ransomware strikes, your backup storage must hold.

That’s why Scality stands behind ARTESCA with a $100,000 cyber guarantee.

If an external cyberattack results in the encryption or deletion of data stored on ARTESCA, we issue a direct one-time $100,000 payment. It’s that simple.

Why this cyber guarantee is different

Most cyber guarantees rely on service credits and caveats. Scality is putting real money on the line. For many ARTESCA customers protecting 50TB or more, the $100,000 payment represents a multiple of their annual software investment. Ours is the strongest proportional guarantee in the industry.

What qualifies as a “cyber incident”?

A qualifying incident is a demonstrable encryption or deletion of data stored on an ARTESCA-managed volume as the direct result of an external, unauthorized cyberattack (such as ransomware).

Guarantee does not apply to incidents resulting from:

  • Data exfiltration without encryption or deletion
  • Compromised credentials stored outside ARTESCA
  • Shared credentials
  • Unauthorized actions by approved personnel
  • Customer indemnity obligations

Written notice must be provided within 48 hours of discovery, along with reasonable cooperation during root cause analysis.
