Metallic Security IQ is a security visibility and analytics module for the Metallic backup environment. It provides a centralized view of security posture, anomaly detection, and audit capabilities specifically focused on backup data and configurations. Key functional areas include: Security Posture Scoring: Evaluates the backup environment against native controls and recommends corrective actions to improve security posture. Anomalous Condition Detection: Tracks abnormal behaviors and conditions on backup data to identify unwarranted changes. Unusual File Activity Monitoring: Uses AI-powered anomaly detection to monitor file system trends, including unusual file creations, changes, and renames. Suggests pre-ransomware recovery points to support smarter restore decisions. Audit Trails: Catalogs unauthorized changes to configurations, restores, and user logins to provide accountability and traceability. Multi-Authorization Approvals: Prevents unwarranted deletion and restore attempts by requiring multiple approvals. Threat Isolation: Identifies and isolates malicious datasets to enable clean recovery without reinfection. Threat Application Detection: Locates threat applications within backup content. The product is designed to operate within the Metallic SaaS backup platform and does not appear to function as a standalone security tool outside of that ecosystem.
