Immutable Backup:
Your Final Line of Defense
Modern cyberattacks increasingly target not only primary data but also backup copies.
In 2023 *, 94% of organizations hit by ransomware reported that cybercriminals attempted to compromise their backups. 57% of those attempts were successful.
This means having a backup of business-critical data is no longer enough — you must ensure that the backup itself remains unaffected by the attack.
That’s why Immutable Backup has become a cornerstone of modern data protection strategies.
What is Immutable Storage?
An immutable backup is a backup copy that cannot be modified or deleted within a defined retention period. Even if an attacker gains access to your IT infrastructure, they cannot destroy or encrypt this backup. It remains intact and ready for recovery at any critical moment.
