A significant advancement in cloud backup security is now available, introducing an essential layer of protection for critical data. Organizations can leverage multi-party approval for operations on their logically air-gapped vaults, specifically those configured with write-once-read-many (WORM) settings for immutability.
This new capability means that sensitive actions, such as attempting to delete a vault or disable its stringent WORM protection (Vault Lock), cannot be executed by a single individual. Instead, these critical operations now require authorization from multiple designated approvers within the organization. This added step significantly mitigates risks associated with accidental deletions, insider threats, or malicious attacks aiming to compromise backup data.
Implementing multi-party approval strengthens your overall data protection posture, ensuring that even highly privileged accounts face checks and balances before altering or destroying vital recovery points. It provides enhanced resilience and peace of mind, knowing your most critical backups stored in immutable vaults are guarded by a robust approval process. This feature is vital for companies seeking to meet stringent regulatory and compliance requirements that mandate secure, tamper-proof data retention and controlled access. Secure your data’s future with this powerful new safeguard.
