Immutable Cloud Backup protects you from the worst-case scenario
Data breaches and cyberattacks are growing more sophisticated, leaving businesses vulnerable to severe disruptions. Among these threats, ransomware attacks pose a significant risk, targeting both primary data and backups. Immutable Cloud Backup provides a robust safeguard, ensuring that your critical data remains secure and recoverable.
Why Immutable Cloud Backups matter
As cyber threats like ransomware attacks continue to evolve, the risks to business-critical data are higher than ever. Ransomware often targets backups in addition to operational data, leaving organizations with no way to recover unless they pay a hefty ransom. Insider threats and human error also present significant challenges, as accidental deletions or malicious actions can jeopardize data integrity. Immutable Cloud Backup (IMCB) mitigates these risks by ensuring that your backup data remains secure and untouchable.
How it works
Immutable Cloud Backup as a Service (IMCBaaS) creates a secure, tamper-proof space for your most important data. Backups are stored in an isolated Azure tenant, fully separated from other systems to keep them safe. Once set up, your data is locked for a retention period you choose, such as one month or longer, making it impossible for anyone—even administrators—to modify or delete it during that time.
The service also includes up to four scheduled restores each year to ensure your backups are intact and reliable. Supporting up to five data sources, it’s designed to be flexible and easy to manage to match the need of your business. With continuous monitoring and maintenance, you can trust that your data is always protected and ready to restore when needed.
Common threats
Immutable backups tackle key issues such as:
- Ransomware attacks: Hackers cannot delete your backup even if they gain access to your systems.
- Insider threats: Protects against malicious or accidental actions by internal personnel.
- Human error: Ensures accidental deletions cannot occur during the immutable period.
- Compliance: Meets industry requirements for unalterable data retention.
Practical implications
Imagine your company is targeted by a ransomware attack. Hackers lock down your operational data and attempt to delete your backup files, leaving you unable to restore your systems.
With a typical backup solution, this could lead to catastrophic consequences. Immutable Backup, however, keeps your data secure and unalterable. Even if attackers access the backup system, your data remains protected and untouchable during the immutable period you set.
