'It's time to stop managing storage and start managing data.' Charles Giancarlo, Pure Storage CEO

Pure Storage has introduced the Enterprise Data Cloud (EDC), a bold new standard in data and storage management simplicity that enables organizations to focus on business outcomes, not infrastructure. Fuelled by AI, data volumes are rising and business demands are evolving faster than ever. Traditional storage models create fragmentation, silos, and uncontrolled data sprawl. Organizations must adapt by shifting their mindset from managing storage to understanding how, where, and why their data is used. This will empower companies to reduce risks, costs, and operational inefficiencies. Solving the Problem of Data Management with an Enterprise Data Cloud An EDC is an industry-changing architectural approach to data storage and management. It gives organizations the ability to easily manage their data across their estate with unrivaled agility, efficiency and simplicity. With an EDC architecture, IT teams centrally manage a virtualized cloud of data with unified control — spanning on-premises, public cloud, and hybrid — enabling intelligent, autonomous data management and governance across the entire environment. Delivering the Enterprise Data Cloud with the Pure Storage Platform With an EDC architecture, organizations are better equipped to manage data at scale, reducing risk, and gaining increased control and insight across all environments. Redefining how data is delivered, governed, and consumed, the Pure Storage platform allows customers to build out their own EDC. The platform gives organizations the ability to unify data from across their estate into a virtualized cloud of data that is governed by an intelligent control plane for easy management, and delivered as a service. 'It's time to stop managing storage and start managing data. With AI increasing the potential value of enterprise data, and cyber-threats imperiling it, data storage architectures and the tools for managing data have not kept pace. Only Pure Storage has innovated an architectural approach that enables enterprise customers to manage their global data estate. Pure Fusion allows customers to create their own global Enterprise Data Cloud empowering them to manage their data with the control, automation and tracking needed to lead in a data-driven world,' said Charles Giancarlo, Chairman and CEO, Pure Storage. At the heart of this autonomous platform is Pure Fusion™, unifying storage as a pool of adaptable resources. Pure Fusion is natively built into the arrays, which are self-discoverable so they can automatically discover a broader fleet without requiring in-depth storage admin configuration. Administrators can manage the fleet from any system because every array is an endpoint. NEW: Pure Fusion with Workload Automation Pure Fusion now has presets and remote provisioning for fleetwide file, block and object. Admins have increased flexibility based on the specific needs of each workload and no longer need to pre-plan and tune deployments, which reduces risk of non-compliance and improves resiliency by ensuring that workloads are provisioned correctly from the beginning. Reducing the Risk of Human Error and Strengthening Security Today, enterprises struggle with increased risk, lack of compliance and inefficiencies resulting from manual operations around provisioning, migration and more. To eliminate these issues, automation spans the full stack of the platform with policy-driven orchestration and self-service capabilities. Built-in compliance and improved cyber resilience embedded across the platform further minimize risk through security and governance policies. These new capabilities completely redefine intelligent storage management. NEW: Workflow Orchestration The Pure Storage platform now delivers orchestrated workflows that can be deployed across the entire IT environment. Built on the thousands of existing connectors to third-party applications including Cisco, Microsoft, VMware, ServiceNow and Slack, presets and application 'recipes' can be easily deployed across storage, compute, network, database and application configurations. Customers will be able to run pre-set recipes or build custom ones specific for their environment, or utilize partner recipes for application to infrastructure automation. NEW: World Class Anomaly Threat Detection with Rubrik Security Cloud Rubrik is the first cyber recovery partner to integrate with Pure Fusion and its new workflow orchestration, streamlining cyber recovery across data environments. When Rubrik Security Cloud detects a threat, Pure Fusion automates the tagging of indelible SafeMode snapshots with Rubrik's ransomware scanning — pinpointing clean data for fast restore. For surgical or granular recovery needs, Rubrik backups provide a secondary path. Managed through Pure1 Workflow Automation, this integration reduces manual effort, improves compliance, and delivers near-zero RTO — so organizations can recover quickly and confidently with minimal disruption. NEW: CrowdStrike LogScale and Pure Storage Hunt Threats and Retain Logs CrowdStrike and Pure Storage have partnered to deliver the first validated on-premises storage solution specifically optimized for Falcon LogScale deployments. Combining Pure Storage's resilient, secure, high-performance storage infrastructure with Falcon LogScale's powerful log analytics, instant search, and security capabilities, organizations gain unmatched scalability and accelerated threat detection, hunting, investigation and response — while maintaining the control of on-premises, self-hosted environments. NEW: Pure Protect VMware to VMware Recovery Now offering recovery for VMware to VMware, in addition to recovery to AWS, on-premises to cloud, and self-service disaster recovery assessments, Pure Protect™ is designed for today's hybrid environments, streamlining recovery workflows with on-demand recovery and flexible failover options so customers can cost-effectively maintain business continuity. NEW: AI Copilot is now Generally Available The AI Copilot is an always-on assistant that delivers personalized, fleet-aware insights — with agents available for topics including security information, performance issues, digital commerce, sustainable operations, and support center. Matt Kimball, Vice President & Principal Analyst, Moor Insights & Strategy, noted, 'Pure's Enterprise Data Cloud represents a tangible shift in how enterprises manage data and represents real change at the architectural level. By abstracting the complexity of hybrid environments into a unified, policy-driven platform, Pure is enabling organizations to bring clarity and control to data management at scale. With automation, intelligence, and simplicity built in, Pure is delivering on the vision of an enterprise data cloud in a way that's actionable today. It's a bold, thoughtful approach — and one that sets a new bar for the industry.' The full benefits of an Enterprise Data Cloud require a platform created from the ground up to enable this model. Pure Storage brings together infrastructure, intelligence, and integrated services into one consistent experience.

A new era of data protection: How Forcepoint is redefining cybersecurity in the AI Age

In an age where data has become the new currency, most organisations are struggling to make sense of the very asset that fuels their digital transformation. Where is it stored? Who's accessing it? Is it regulated? Should it even be accessible at all? These aren't just questions anymore, they're business-critical dilemmas. And the stakes are only getting higher as the adoption of AI and cloud ecosystems explodes across the Middle East. In this rapidly evolving landscape, Forcepoint Data Security Cloud emerges as a game-changer. This all-in-one, AI-powered platform is designed to radically simplify and supercharge the way enterprises safeguard their most valuable digital asset: data. 'At Forcepoint, we've recognised a critical truth — organisations don't just need more tools. They need smarter, unified solutions that evolve as risk evolves,' says Samer Diya, Vice-President, META, Forcepoint. 'That's why we created Forcepoint Data Security Cloud, an intelligent platform that unifies visibility and control across endpoints, cloud environments, and hybrid workforces.' Cutting Through the Chaos The biggest challenge facing enterprises today isn't just cyberthreats, it's the overwhelming sprawl of data. Businesses have generated enormous volumes of it, yet most struggle to understand where it resides, whether it's sensitive, or how it's being used. Forcepoint's new platform brings clarity to this chaos. By combining AI-powered Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), real-time Data Detection and Response (DDR), and seamless integration with SaaS, web, and email gateways, the platform enables continuous, automated protection wherever data is created, moved, or stored. 'At the core of everything is our AI Mesh technology, a network of finely tuned small language models that dynamically classify data, evaluate risk, and recommend real-time actions,' explains Diya. 'This is what sets us apart, we're making security proactive, not reactive.' Context Is Key While many organisations still rely on outdated, rule-based security systems, Forcepoint is paving the way for adaptive, AI-driven protection that aligns with the reality of modern work — remote access, BYOD, cloud apps, and the rise of GenAI tools. 'AI Mesh acts as the nervous system of our platform,' Diya notes. 'It assesses the full context of every interaction: who the user is, what device they're on, what app they're using, and whether their actions are normal or suspicious. This allows us to adapt security controls in real-time, delivering smarter and stronger protection.' This evolution is essential as static models simply can't keep up with today's fast-paced, data-rich environments. Navigating the GenAI Wave in the GCC With governments across the GCC pouring investment into AI and its economic impact expected to hit $35 billion annually, enterprises in the region are under mounting pressure to strike a balance between innovation and security. 'GenAI brings incredible value, but it also introduces unprecedented risks like data leakage, non-compliance, and unauthorised data sharing,' says Diya. 'Our goal is to make data protection simpler and more compliant from the start.' That's where Forcepoint's library of over 1,700 pre-built templates and explainable AI models comes in, helping security teams customize protections while demonstrating transparent decision-making to auditors and regulators. Unified Security for a Unified Workforce As businesses shift toward hybrid work and cloud-first operations, Forcepoint's all-in-one platform provides a single source of truth, eliminating the inefficiencies of siloed security tools. 'Today's digital-first enterprises need consistent protection across all channels — endpoints, email, web, cloud,' Diya emphasises. 'With Forcepoint, a single set of intelligent policies safeguards data in-use, in-motion, and at rest.' This not only simplifies security management but also reduces operational overhead and the cost of maintaining multiple point solutions. AI: The Ultimate Double-Edged Sword Looking ahead to 2025 and beyond, Diya predicts the cyber threat landscape will be increasingly shaped by AI, both as a weapon and as a shield. 'AI can be used to impersonate users, exfiltrate data, or manipulate systems. But it can also be our greatest ally in identifying and mitigating those same threats — faster and more accurately than ever before,' he explains. Forcepoint is betting on the latter. By leveraging AI not just to detect risks, but to make sense of them and act decisively, the company aims to empower enterprises to stay one step ahead always. Why One Platform is Better Than Many Perhaps the biggest pain point for modern security teams is alert fatigue, drowning in fragmented data from countless tools, each solving a sliver of the problem. 'Each new tool adds noise, complexity, and cost. Instead of reacting to symptoms, we help businesses focus on root causes,' says Diya. 'With our single platform approach, enterprises gain comprehensive, consistent, and cost-effective control over their data.' The Bottom Line Forcepoint's message to enterprises is clear: security doesn't have to be complex to be effective. In a world where data is everywhere, Forcepoint Data Security Cloud offers the simplicity, intelligence, and adaptability organizations need to thrive securely in the AI era. As Diya concludes, 'We're not just protecting data, we're enabling innovation. Our mission is Data Security Everywhere, and with AI at the core, we're helping businesses get there — faster, safer, and smarter.'
