Ransomware attacks continue to get stronger and smarter—targeting backups, disrupting operations, and putting your data at risk. 89% of organizations say their backup storage was attacked, according to Veeam’s 2025 Ransomware Trends report. If you're relying on traditional backup storage that isn’t built on Zero Trust principles, your data is at risk. Learn from Gartner® about how to enhance your ransomware resilience with isolated recovery environments (IRE) and immutable data vaults (IDV).

This eBook explores how organizations are evaluating their backup and broader data protection environments in the context of the evolving ransomware threat. As ransomware attacks become more sophisticated and increasingly target backup environments, organizations are responding by adopting Zero Trust principles and modern backup techniques, like adopting immutable storage, to reduce the impact of a breach and enable the organization to recover more quickly in the case of an attack.

This independent report confirms that Object First and Veeam align with key financial compliance frameworks—ensuring data retention, audit trails, and non-rewritable storage for our customers.

This Technical Review by TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group documents the detailed evaluation of the Object First backup solution for Veeam, including the setup process, scalability, and performance.

The distinctive quality about Ootbi is that it’s custom-built not just for Veeam storage but for the Veeam channel as well. Here’s where it helps to know that Object First was co-founded by Ratmir Timashev and Andrei Baronov, the same two people who co-founded Veeam. Unwavering, long-term commitment to the channel is a big part of what turned their earlier company into the powerhouse it is today, and is a deeply embedded part of their new company too.

Cyber attacks are pervasive, and cyber-risk continues to increase as cybercriminals zoom in on backups and target the data protection infrastructure. This means that data protection solutions must include cyber-recovery, be easy to use, and also be cost efficient in these challenging economic times. This is especially true in the mid-market where fewer IT resources may be available. That’s why Veeam customers should consider Object First appliances to stop ransomware in its tracks.

In spring 2023, Object First launched a study to gauge consumer perspectives on ransomware attacks and their expectations from companies entrusted with their personal information. Gathering responses from 1,000 U.S. consumers aged 18 and above, the survey provided key insights into varied generational responses to ransomware incidents. The data underscores the imperative need for businesses to bolster their ransomware prevention and data recovery strategies to uphold customer trust and retain loyalty in the face of increasing cyber threats.
