Introduction
HybrIT is a UK-based managed service provider offering comprehensive IT services to diverse sectors and business sizes ranging from 50 to 10,000+ users. With the threat of ransomware continuing to increase, HybrIT needed a modern backup storage solution with advanced immutability features to protect both their own business and their customers' data—all while strengthening their position as a trusted advisor in the increasingly complex security landscape.

Solution
HybrIT implemented Ootbi (Out-of-the-Box Immutability) by Object First for their internal infrastructure and customer offerings. The remarkably simple and quick deployment—as well as comprehensive training offerings for both technical and commercial teams—meant expectations were exceeded from the very start.
