Why Immutable Backup Should Be Part of Your Strategy
For small and medium-sized businesses, a single cyberattack can be devastating. Whether it’s ransomware, accidental deletion, or insider threats, losing your data means lost productivity, lost revenue, and in some cases, lost customers.
That’s where immutable backup comes in.
What is Immutable Backup?
Immutable backup means your backed-up data can’t be altered, deleted, or encrypted, even by a hacker or rogue employee. Once your backup is saved, it’s locked in place for a set amount of time. You can restore it, but you can’t tamper with it.
This gives your business a clean, untouchable copy of your data you can rely on, no matter what.
Why It’s Critical for SMBs
SMBs are a top target for ransomware. Why? Because many don’t have the time, staff, or budget for enterprise-grade cybersecurity. Attackers know that. That’s why newer ransomware variants are built to seek out and destroy backups first, forcing businesses to pay up.
With immutable backup, even if your network is compromised, your data is not. You can recover quickly and avoid paying the ransom.
