Introducing GRAX High Trust – the must-have data backup feature for any business looking to ensure the security, privacy, and compliance of their data.

What is immutable storage?
Immutable storage can be defined as a method of storing copies of data that ensures that once data is written to a storage system, it cannot be modified or deleted. This is accomplished by making the data “read-only” and preventing any changes to it, therefore, creating accurate copies of clean backups. These immutable backups would be stored in a write-once-read-many (WORM) cloud storage or on-prem data storage and would be readily-available to recover data if a disaster event (e.g., cyber attack, accidental deletion, natural disaster, etc.) occurs for more secure data protection.
Why it matters
When the average ransomware payment is $812,360, having air-gapped backups with your immutable data becomes invaluable. The benefit of immutable storage is that it provides an additional layer of protection against data tampering or data loss, which is especially important for customer data that is critical, sensitive, or regulated. It ensures that data remains authentic and the integrity of the data is protected, especially in high compliance and high trust environments where data security and privacy are crucial.
In today’s climate, with the increasing threat of ransomware attacks, you simply cannot afford to take any chances. We know that more and more customers are facing the challenge of protecting their business-critical customer data with a reliable and secure backup solution. This is precisely why we created GRAX High Trust; our immutable backups empower customers to protect their Salesforce data in a WORM-compliant data store to provide unparalleled protection and peace of mind.
