Object First: Protect Your Data from Ransomware with Immutable Backups

Ransomware attacks are becoming more frequent and sophisticated, often targeting backups as the last line of defence for organisations. When backups are encrypted, deleted, or otherwise compromised, the ability to recover data vanishes, leaving organisations at the mercy of attackers. The financial, operational, and reputational costs of such breaches can be devastating.

Backing up data is essential, but ensuring those backups are immutable—untouchable and tamper-proof—is critical for modern organisations. DMS partners with Object First to keep your backups safe and recovery-ready, even in the face of a ransomware attack.

    Common questions

    Managed IT Support — Frequently Asked Questions

    Ootbi (Out-of-the-Box Immutability) is Object First’s immutable backup storage appliance, built specifically for Veeam Backup & Replication. Once data is written within its immutability window, it cannot be deleted or encrypted by anyone — including attackers with admin access — making it a strong last line of defence against ransomware.

    Immutable backups can’t be altered, deleted, or encrypted once written, even if attackers gain access to your systems. This means that even if ransomware compromises your live environment, your backup data remains untouched and recoverable, removing the ability of attackers to hold your last line of defence to ransom.

    Object First Ootbi is designed for plug-and-play deployment with Veeam. Thanks to out-of-the-box connectivity built specifically for Veeam environments, setup can be completed in as little as 15 minutes, without the specialist expertise many backup solutions demand

    Object First uses its SOS-API to communicate directly with your Veeam environment, enabling recovery speeds among the fastest of any immutable backup solution. This matters most during a ransomware incident, when the time it takes to restore operations directly affects cost and disruption.

    Zero Trust storage assumes no user or system should be automatically trusted with delete or write access to backup data. Object First’s Ootbi is built on this principle: once data is written within the immutability window, not even administrators can delete or modify it, closing the access gap ransomware attackers typically exploit.

    Yes. Object First’s Ootbi is built on S3-compatible object storage, meeting Veeam’s Secure Object Storage Requirements (SOSR). This means it integrates natively with Veeam Backup & Replication without proprietary connectors or complex configuration, unlike storage retrofitted from general-purpose file systems.
