Wasabi Technologies has expanded its cyber-resilient cloud storage capabilities with Covert Copy. This patent-pending, ransomware-resistant storage solution enables users to create a locked, hidden copy of storage buckets, ensuring critical data remains untouchable even in the event of a cyberattack.
The selected data is logically air-gapped and cannot be seen, accessed, modified, or deleted without multi-user authentication approval, thereby protecting it from malicious attacks. Covert Copy enhances and simplifies traditional air gap strategies by creating a duplicate of data that is not only isolated but also undetectable.
As enterprise data becomes more vital, cybercriminals target backup and cloud storage. With no egress fees and multi-user authentication, it delivers secure, cost-effective backup and disaster recovery.
David Boland, vice president of cloud strategy at Wasabi Technologies, emphasized the importance of robust data protection amid increasing pressure from organizations and regulators. He highlighted that implementing effective data security measures can be complex, costly, and time-consuming. Boland introduced Covert Copy as a solution that enables enterprises to discreetly and affordably conceal their data from malicious actors and ransomware threats, asserting that cyber attackers cannot target what they cannot see.
Unlike other cloud providers that require managing complex tools, policies, and rules, Covert Copy offers a streamlined, easy-to-implement solution. Users select data to protect and initiate the process with a few clicks, making advanced storage-level data protection simple and effective in preventing data loss. It is especially suitable for highly regulated industries such as healthcare, finance, and government, and it complies with standards such as HIPAA, GDPR, UK GDPR, and SEC requirements.
Covert Copy strengthens Wasabi’s comprehensive cyber resilience portfolio, which includes data encryption, object lock, data bucket replication, and multi-user authentication. With these added layers of security and no egress charges, users can develop a robust cyber resilience plan and keep data and backup buckets safer.
