Introduction

Cybersecurity incidents such as ransomware attacks and insider threats are no longer rare—they are everyday risks. While prevention is critical, organizations must also prepare for when breaches occur. Secure, immutable archives play a key role in reducing the blast radius of these incidents. By ensuring that critical data remains protected, recoverable, and tamper-proof, archives become an essential layer of cybersecurity defense.

The Breach Blast Radius

The blast radius refers to the scope of impact a security incident has across an organization. Without effective controls, a breach can:
