Ransomware continues to be one of the most disruptive cybersecurity challenges, with attackers now targeting backup systems to maximize damage. Despite having multiple layers of defense, many organizations still rely on backup solutions that are not immutable by default and can be altered or deleted by administrators, insiders, or attackers—leaving them exposed to data loss and operational downtime.

This session will introduce the concept of Absolute Immutability and explain how it can be achieved using S3 object storage, Zero Access principles, and purpose-built target appliances. Attendees will learn how these technologies work together to create a secure, simple, and powerful backup data solution, gaining practical insights into building a resilient data protection architecture.

Join ITSPmagazine’s Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli as they co-moderate a direct, insightful conversation with Anthony Cusimano, corporate strategist at Object First.

Together, they will challenge the status quo and explore:

What makes Absolute Immutability different from traditional immutability in backup systems?

Why are some backup solutions still vulnerable, even when labeled “immutable”?

How can organizations implement Zero Access and S3-based storage to protect backup data from tampering or deletion?

How to recognize and avoid common weaknesses in backup storage systems that claim to be immutable.

The three foundational elements of Absolute Immutability: S3 Object Storage, Zero Time to Immutability, and Target Storage Appliances.

How Zero Access to destructive actions helps ensure backup data remains untouched, even in the event of a breach.

If your backup data can be altered or deleted in any capacity, it’s not truly protected. Join us to discover how Absolute Immutability can help you build a backup strategy that can withstand ransomware attacks and insider threats.
