Winner:

Wasabi Object Lock

With Object Lock, cloud storage firm Wasabi Technologies is providing enhanced data protection by enabling the designation of certain data objects as immutable—and thus unalterable and undeletable. This includes accidental actions or intentional actions such as in a cyberattack. Once the data is stored in Wasabi’s system, the data is guaranteed to stay there until the expiration of the lock—with users able to set a timeframe for the immutability of the object. Wasabi Object Lock ultimately prevents both malicious and accidental operations leading to data alteration or loss, with a simplified immutability process for storage administrators.
