NetApp shifts data access controls to behavior-based policies for AI agents

NetApp introduced a behavior-based policy engine in its AI Data Engine that flags unusual data-use patterns by AI agents instead of relying on simple permissions. The company also linked its autonomous ransomware protection to recovery workflows via Commvault, Sentinel and Splunk. A free six-month offer is available for existing ONTAP systems.
