Object First vs Google

About

Object First is a hardware and software company that produces Ootbi (Out-of-the-Box Immutability), an immutable object storage appliance designed specifically as a backup target for Veeam-protected environments, providing enterprise organizations with on-premises ransomware-resilient backup storage that is hardened by design against the administrator-level access that ransomware operators commonly abuse to destroy backup copies. The Ootbi appliance runs an immutable object store that enforces S3 Object Lock-compatible immutability policies on all data written to it — backup data written by Veeam cannot be overwritten, modified, or deleted by any user or process during the configured retention period, even if an attacker obtains storage administrator credentials. This hardware-enforced immutability model addresses the specific threat of ransomware operators moving laterally within IT environments to reach backup storage after compromising production systems.
