What is CORE5 cyber resilience?
Immutability is just the beginning
Ransomware doesn’t stop at encryption. Neither does ARTESCA. Scality’s CORE5 cyber-resilience framework adds end-to-end protection to stop deletion, exfiltration, and insider threats.
The result? Your backups become unbreakable.
What immutability covers
Encryption protection
Retention integrity
Regulatory compliance
Protects against deletion of backup
What immutability misses
Data exfiltration
Insider threats & admin bypass
Why immutability is not enough
API-level immutability with S3 Object Lock is where most vendors stop. Immutability protects backups from encryption, but today’s ransomware goes much further.
So does Scality, delivering 5 layers of defense that start with architectural immutability and extend across the entire data path for end-to-end cyber resilience.
End-to-end cyber resilience: How do storage systems stack up?
Not all “immutable” storage is created equal. Here’s how ARTESCA with CORE5 compares to traditional backup targets:
Scality ARTESCA is the only backup storage solution that enables end-to-end cyber resilience with unbreakable data protection at every level of the system, from API to architecture.
ARTESCA is Zero Trust by design
With ARTESCA, no user, app or system is trusted by default. Zero Trust principles run through the entire platform, ensuring that even if attackers get inside, they can not move freely or escalate privileges.
Highlights:
- Credential isolation between backup and storage systems
- Least-privilege access by default
- Hardened OS with no root access
- MFA-enabled admin UI
Scality’s commitment to security extends beyond product design.
Our organization operates under an ISO 27001–certified information security management system, ensuring that the same Zero Trust principles guiding ARTESCA are applied across development, operations, and support.
CORE5 explained: What is end-to-end cyber resilience?
ARTESCA is built on CORE5, Scality’s five-layer framework for end-to-end data protection.
It delivers security at every level of the system, going far beyond basic immutability.
API-level
S3 Object Lock ensures backups are immutable from the moment they’re written.
Data-level
Zero-trust controls with credential isolation, MFA, encryption-at-rest, and secure TLS connections.
Storage-level
Distributed erasure coding renders disk data indecipherable, even if accessed directly.
Geographic-level
Multi-site replication and offsite copies ensure recoverability even after a site-wide event.
Architecture-level
Immutability is built into ARTESCA’s hardened OS and object storage design — no root access, no bolt-ons.
