45Drives, a leader in high-performance open-source storage and virtualization infrastructure, is set to contribute significantly to the 2025 Rocky Mountain CyberSecurity Symposium (RMCS), emphasizing the critical role of open-source solutions in secure data environments. Mitch Hall, Chief Architect at 45Drives, will lead a session on designing resilient open-source storage architectures, focusing on technologies like Ceph, ZFS, and 45Drives' proprietary software to enhance security and data sovereignty.
An interactive workshop following the presentation will feature live demonstrations of Proxmox VE on the Proxinator VM8 storage server, offering insights into scalable virtualization infrastructure and software-defined networking. The workshop will also showcase SnapShield, 45Drives' anti-ransomware software, demonstrating practical approaches to ransomware detection and neutralization.
Dr. Doug Milburn, President of 45Drives, highlighted the significance of infrastructure choices in cybersecurity, advocating for open-source solutions that provide control, customization, and cost-efficiency. He pointed out the vulnerabilities often hidden in proprietary, cloud-based services, promoting openness as a key strength in cybersecurity strategies.
The RMCS 2025, expected to draw hundreds of cybersecurity professionals, serves as a vital platform for knowledge exchange and skill development. 45Drives' participation underscores its dedication to advancing secure, transparent, and community-driven data infrastructure solutions, exemplified by its innovative products like the Storinator and Stornado, which offer high-performance alternatives to traditional enterprise storage systems.
