Security and resilience features by version

Features 10 10.1 10.2 10.3 10.4 10.5 Notes
Extensive workload support ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ Widest support from edge to core to cloud with 800+ data sources, 1,400+ storage targets, and 60+ cloud providers.
Role-based access control (RBAC) ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ 8.3 provided more granular access controls. 9 added role-based templates to help with role creation and management.
Authentication and auditing ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ 8.3 added SAML 2.0 support for single sign-on in the web UI and user auditing by sending user audit logs to the syslog.
Encryption in transit and at rest ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ 8.3 added support for third-party key management with KMIP integration, 2048-bit or higher keys for NetBackup Certificate Authority (CA) to ensure data integrity throughout the data journey.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) Everywhere . . . ✔ ✔ ✔ Extend MFA across all product interfaces – GUI, CLI, SSH – further reducing attack surfaces.
Multi-Person Authorization for Critical Operations . . . ✔ ✔ ✔ Prevents malicious operations (data deletions, etc.) from being performed if a user’s workstation is compromised – a designated approver must confirm before the operation can proceed.
Adaptive Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) . . . . ✔ ✔ Sensitive user actions and changes to security settings are subject to additional authentication prompts to ensure security is always on – not just at initial login.
Adaptive Multi-Person Authorization (MPA) . . . . ✔ ✔ Intelligent defense against insider threats with expanded support for changes to security settings, WORM configuration, and adaptive MPA checks.
TLS 1.3 support ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ Faster and more secure data encryption for both in-transit and at-rest data.
FIPS 140-2‒compliant ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ Validated FIPS 140-2 cryptographic module for Filesystem, Oracle, Microsoft SQL, SAP HANA, IBM DB2, VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, Red Hat Virtualization, Nutanix AHV, DynamicNAS, MongoDB, Hadoop, HBase, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MariaDB, Microsoft SharePoint, NetBackup Snapshot Manager, NetBackup Flex Appliances, and for data at rest in all target storage controlled by NetBackup.
High-Performance Hadoop Recovery . . . . ✔ ✔ Adding to the multi-stream backups added for Hadoop in version 10.3, new multi-stream recovery support for Hadoop now provides optimal performance for both backup and recovery.
Long-term retention (LTR) ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ Keep backup images for an extended period of time and be able to recover efficiently. 9 introduced longer data retention.
Isolated Recovery Environment (IRE) ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ Sensitive user actions and changes to security settings are subject to additional authentication prompts to ensure security is always on – not just at initial login.
Security Risk Meter . . . . . ✔ Assess risk posture for NetBackup security configurations by allowing users to set a baseline for their security configuration and track changes from that baseline.
Immutability with NetBackup and NetBackup Flex running on Appliances ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ Hardened Appliances. NetBackup support for immutable storage (NetBackup OpenStorage Technology [OST]) and NetBackup Flex help prevent ransomware from encrypting or deleting backup data.
Recovery at scale ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ NetBackup integration with Resiliency Platform, introduced in 8.3, provides multi-SLO automation and orchestration to simplify recovery at scale. NetBackup 10.1 delivers Orchestrated Recovery to recover VMware VMs into Azure Using Image Sharing.
Automated Recovery Point Recommendations . . . . ✔ ✔ Based on anomalies, projected recovery time, entropy analysis, and other heuristics, recommended restore points are highlighted in Alta View to ensure a clean recovery while balancing RPO and RTO.
Immutable Object Lock storage support ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ AWS (9.1), Microsoft Azure, Hitachi Content Platform, Cloudian HyperStore, and Seagate Lyve Cloud S3 Object Lock immutable storage support.
Blast Radius Analysis . . . . . ✔ Perform fast and efficient searches for malware and other potential indicators of compromise (IOCs) with hash-based content index across the entire enterprise environment.
Artificial intelligence (AI)‒powered anomaly detection ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ Detects and alerts of suspect behavior at the time of backups. This feature ensures data is always recoverable and enables businesses to take immediate action when ransomware strikes, isolating backups with malware and limiting its impact.
Anomaly Detection user behavior enhancements . . . ✔ ✔ ✔ Ability to identify system-level or user behavior anomalies using ML and audit trails.
Malware detection integration ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ Integration with malware scanners to scan backup images from MSDP.
Malware Scanning for Secondary Domains . . . . . ✔ Perform bulk malware scanning of replicated backups with available CPU cycles of secondary or tertiary environments.
Expanded Malware Scanning . . . . . ✔ Enables malware scanning for cloud object storage & data lakes (S3/ compatible, Blob storage, etc.)
Malware scan automatic pausing of backup activities . ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ Automatically pause data protection activities for the protected asset when an infection in a backup image is detected. These include backups, duplication, and expiration activities.
Parallel Malware scan . . ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ Configure the number of concurrent scans to maximize efficiency while tracking the real-time progress of each job.
Inline Malware Scanning during recovery . . . ✔ ✔ ✔ Integrated malware scanning during restore, and support for cloud VMs and Universal Shares.
Malware scan Virtual Machines . ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ Malware scans can be used to identify the “last-known-good” backup before restoring for Virtual Machine workloads.
Security/Early Warning systems (SIEM/SOAR) . ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ Integration with SOAR/XDR platforms to pause or resume data protection activities based on security or maintenance events. Anomaly and malware scan alerts stored within system logs can be ingested easily by early warning systems such as SIEM platforms.
Integration with Cloudbased SIEM/SOAR . . ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ Use the push method to transmit audit events from NBU to cloud-based SIEM/SOAR directly with support for Azure Sentinel.
Industry-Standard OCSF data security format support . . . . ✔ ✔ Accelerate security incident analytics by adopting the Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework (OCSF) for security event logs.
2FA/SAML for Java UI ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ Enhanced secure login for customers using the Java Admin Console.
Credential Management System support for MSSQL workloads . . ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ Automate external credential management and scalability across complex multi-domain systems.
NetBackup Flex ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ 8.3 introduced immutable and indelible storage support.
TLS 1.3 support ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ Faster and more secure data encryption for both in-transit and at-rest data.
