Ransomware attacks are becoming increasingly common, and they can have devastating consequences for organizations. According to a recent survey, two-thirds of organizations experienced ransomware attacks in the past two years, and many suffered multiple attacks.
The problem is not just about the volume of attacks, but also the severity and expanding target variety. Threat actors now make backup data their primary objective, knowing that victims are less likely to pay ransoms if they can restore from clean backup copies. Without restoration capability, organizations face existential threats and may have no choice but to pay.
To prevent this from happening, organizations need a robust backup strategy based on immutability. This means protecting digital data with immutable storage that cannot be altered or deleted under any circumstances.
Object First’s Ootbi solution provides absolute immutability without sacrificing performance. It uses S3 Object Storage, which is a fully documented open standard with native immutability enabling independent penetration testing and verification. The system also has zero time to immutability, meaning backup data is immutable the moment it’s written.
Three pillars of unbreakable backup are:
1. S3 Object Storage
2. Zero Time to Immunity
3. Targeted Storage Appliance
Ootbi provides secure-by-design architecture, straightforward deployment, and third-party validation. It deploys in 15 minutes and scales easily, with automatic updates and optimization.
Object First’s research found that 93% of respondents agreed that immutable backup storage built on zero-trust principles is essential, while 97% plan to invest in secure, immutable backup storage.
The benefits of Ootbi include:
* Fast performance: up to 8 GB/s
* Automatic load balancing
* Linear capacity and performance scaling to multiple petabytes
* Secure-by-design architecture
* Straightforward deployment
For Veeam users seeking practical, verifiable ransomware-proof backup protection, the combination of secure-by-design architecture, straightforward deployment, and third-party validation offers a path to genuine data resilience.
