IBM has announced the newest generation of Flash Core Module (FCM) drives and FlashSystem — designed not only for higher performance, but for stronger cyber resilience at the hardware level.
The latest Flash Core Modules include built-in ransomware detection capabilities that monitor I/O patterns in real time. When abnormal encryption-like behavior is detected, alerts can be triggered early — helping organizations respond before damage spreads.
Combined with IBM’s Safeguarded Copy and immutable snapshot capabilities, FlashSystem provides a layered defense approach:
Early anomaly detection
Immutable recovery points
Rapid restoration of clean data
Hardware-level encryption and compression
This isn’t just faster storage — it’s storage engineered with cyber recovery in mind.
For organizations running IBM Power environments, hybrid cloud workloads, or mission-critical applications, this generation of FlashSystem represents a shift toward infrastructure that actively supports security posture, not just performance.
