REDLab: Advancing Innovations While Protecting Critical Data

Ever wonder how Veritas tests its products against the latest cyber threats? Sonali Jeurkar, Director of Engineering and leader of the Veritas REDLab shares the inside scoop on the lab’s daily challenges, and how those efforts directly translate into real-world cyber resilience for Veritas customers.

Key Challenges Addressed in the REDLab:

• Choosing the Right Attack Vectors:  Engineers strategically select specific malware and NetBackup configurations to expose product weaknesses in a controlled environment, ensuring stronger defenses.
• Measuring Attack Penetration & Behavior:  Every attack reveals critical insights into system vulnerabilities, as the team tracks how deeply each breach impacts components and overall behavior.
• Building Resilient Responses: The REDLab response strategies protect backup data and products, with a focus on optimizing Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO).
• Operating in High-Security Isolation:  The REDLab operates within strict security measures to keep malware experiments secure.  This isolation can affect the malware behavior and requires inventive approaches to test and measure procedures. 

Through these efforts, the REDLab strengthens Veritas products to better withstand real-world threats and deliver faster, simpler, smarter recovery.
