Wasabi Object Lock
Immutable Storage, Immediately Available
With Wasabi Object Lock, your data is offsite, unchangeable, and available at a moment’s notice should you need immediate access to your backups.
What is Wasabi Object Lock?
While offline tape backups or hard drives may seem like the safest place for all your essential data, removing them from the network means restorations can take many hours or even days.
With cyberattacks, equipment failure, natural disasters, and plain old human error, you never know when you’ll need your backups to go live. Hours or days of downtime just won’t do.
Immutable storage increases cyber resilience
With Wasabi Object Lock, your data is secure, offsite, and available at a moment’s notice should you need immediate access to your backups. It’s also free with Wasabi, with no added API request charges or hidden fees to enable Object Lock or recover data.
Data protection
Create a modern air gap through encryption and hashing. Immutable objects, locked individually or as part of a broader bucket policy, cannot be deleted or altered in any way, not even by a system administrator.
Compliance
Use Wasabi Object Lock to ensure the chain of custody and regulatory compliance of data. It helps you meet multi-year and other data retention requirements for HIPAA, SEC, FINRA, FERPA, CJIS, and others.
Seamless integration
Easily connect Wasabi through a compatible S3 Object Lock API and set or manage retention periods per object or per bucket. We’re verified for Veeam Backup and Replication v10, v11, and v12 among other applications.
