Achieve Cyber Resilience With HYCU & Nutanix

Cyber resilience built on secure foundations and enforced across the entire stack

In today’s threat-rich landscape, cyber resilience demands more than add-on tools. It requires a platform-level approach that embeds protection into every layer, from infrastructure to data to backup. That’s exactly what Nutanix and HYCU deliver. Together, they provide a unified foundation that’s secure by design, operationally simple, and resilient by default. Nutanix hardens your core with built-in availability, micro-segmentation, and secure storage across virtualized and cloud-native environments. HYCU extends that resilience with secure, agentless backup and rapid, application-aware recovery. The result, always-on protection, built-in observability, and zero-compromise recovery without the sprawl or complexity of bolt-on solutions. With Nutanix and HYCU, organizations can detect threats early, respond intelligently, and recover fast.

Using HYCU proved a real advantage, because it is very secure and it offers a really powerful and simple Process to restore in case of damage or a ransomware attack.

Built-In Cyber Resilience from Infrastructure to Data

Nutanix and HYCU share a core principle: resilience must be built in, not bolted on. Nutanix delivers a secure foundation with self-healing architecture, micro-segmentation via Flow, native high availability, and unified storage for file, block, and object workloads. HYCU deploys as a pre-hardened Linux virtual appliance—no agents, no open ports, no OS-level access. It’s sealed by design and purpose-built for Nutanix environments.

Together, they enforce zero-trust principles across compute, storage, and data protection. Role-based access control (RBAC), MFA, immutable backups, and continuous backup integrity checks help close gaps attackers target most. Every layer is hardened—automatically.

Unlike retrofitted tools, HYCU is natively integrated with Nutanix Prism, AHV Virtualization and has purpose-built workflows for critical services like Nutanix Database Service & NC2 (Nutanix Cloud Clusters). This means fast, agentless, app-aware backups and full coverage across VMs, databases, cloud-native workloads, and containers,  meaning no workloads goes unprotected, if its important to you, HYCU and Nutanix protects it. 

Zero-Compromise Recovery That’s Always Ready

When incidents strike, speed matters. Certainty does too. Nutanix and HYCU combine to deliver the fastest possible recovery from outages, cyberattacks, and human error. Together, they provide precision, automation, and complete control.

HYCU continuously verifies every backup. Recovery points are tested for integrity, validated against SLAs, and scanned for compromise using HYCU R Shield. Full malware scanning is performed across both backup data and infrastructure to ensure no restore point is reused unless it is clean. This eliminates the risk of reinfection, attack loops, or hidden compromise.

Nutanix enables low latency recovery through Unified Storage and native replication across clusters, regions, or NC2 environments in AWS and Azure. HYCU complements this with instant file, folder, or full VM recovery and intelligent orchestration across edge, datacentre, and cloud environments, all managed from a single interface.

If threats are detected or even suspected, HYCU’s flexible recovery workflows and Flow Virtual Networking work together to create a fully isolated clean room. Micro-segmentation isolates infected or suspicious workloads from production, while HYCU enables fast, granular recovery for forensic analysis. 

With immutable backups, scanned & validated clean restore points, and recovery flexibility across any location, Nutanix and HYCU deliver cyber resilient recovery without compromise.

Stronger Together: Unified Cyber Resilience You Can Trust

With Nutanix and HYCU, resilience is no longer a patchwork of tools—it’s a unified strategy that secures every workload, every day. Learn more at Nutanix.com and experience Cyber Resilience for Nutanix for yourself at https://www.hycu.com/solutions/ransomware-protection.
