Which ONTAP feature provides immutable copies to protect against ransomware?

• A. FlexClone volumes
• B. LUN FlexSplit
• C. Autonomous Ransomware Protection (ARP)
• D. FabricPool tiering

Answer: (C)

Immutable recovery points protect against ransomware by ensuring copies of data cannot be changed or deleted for a defined retention period. Autonomous Ransomware Protection provides these immutable copies, automatically creating and safeguarding recovery points that stay intact even if the primary data is compromised. This air-gapped protection lets you restore quickly from safe, tamper-resistant copies. The other options don’t create immutable backups: FlexClone volumes are writable clones, LUN FlexSplit is a LUN management feature, and FabricPool tiering moves data to the cloud for cost and performance, not immutability.
