Wasabi cloud-based protection storage with its cyber-resiliency design. Wasabi’s secure cloud storage, featuring free egress and API calls, empowers customers to conduct economical backup tests. Wasabi’s latest multi-user authorization capabilities fortify accounts against accidental or malicious deletions, when combined with Veeam’s Four-eyes security, offers customers unparalleled protection.

Zivaro cyber-resiliency architecture for a large healthcare system and its quest to become cyber-resilient. Zivaro discerned that the hospital network had been over-sold by a Veeam competitor and was not protected against cyber-attacks; namely that immutable storage wasn’t viable with what they had acquired and were about to deploy. Instead, Zivaro led the initiative to replace the software with Veeam and in the process, deployed immutability and other Veeam mechanisms to ensure that the healthcare provider would be able to heal its own IT, so that its practitioners would be able to heal their patients.
