MSP360 Adds Ransomware Protection Feature with Backblaze Object Lock Immutability to Its Managed Backup V.6.0

MSP360 has added Object Lock immutability from Backblaze, Inc. to the latest version of its Managed Backup.

When activated by an IT admin in the company’s Managed Backup 6.0, Backblaze B2 Object Lock provides an additional layer of security to a business’s data protection strategy by blocking object version deletion during a user-defined retention period.

“Our customers have clients operating in a range of IT environments,” said Brian Helwig, CEO, MSP360. “With whatever we do, we want to keep that in mind and ensure we provide our customers with options. Offering Backblaze B2 Object Lock to our customers provides them another tool in the fight against ransomware, arguably still cybersecurity’s biggest challenge.”

Backups are the last line of defense against cyberattacks, including ransomware; unattended devices; and accidental human error. When activated by an IT admin in MSP360 Managed Backup 6.0, Backblaze B2 Object Lock provides an additional layer of security to a business’s data protection strategy by blocking object version deletion during a user-defined retention period. Put simply, objects and files utilizing immutability cannot be deleted either intentionally or accidentally. Immutability also serves as proof of compliance in industries with strict compliance standards.

“MSP360 has been a long-time partner of Backblaze and continues to impress us with their commitment to delivering a well-rounded platform to customers,” said Nilay Patel, VP, sales and partnerships, Backblaze. “We’re very happy to extend Backblaze B2 Object Lock to MSP360’s customers to meet their security, disaster recovery, and cloud storage needs.“

This offering is the latest continuation of longstanding partnerships between the company and cloud storage service providers.
