Case Study: Major California Wastewater Treatment Facility achieves ransomware defense with Wasabi and Veeam Object Lock

Major California Wastewater Treatment Facility Achieves Ransomware Defense with Veeam + Wasabi Object Lock

A Major California Wastewater Treatment Facility, a public utility serving more than 356,000 people in Northern California, needed a better way to defend against ransomware and protect critical operations. To reduce the risk of data loss and downtime, the facility turned to Wasabi Technologies and Veeam Backup & Replication to move backup data offsite and strengthen its security posture.

Using Wasabi Object Lock with Veeam Backup & Replication, the facility implemented immutable, air-gapped cloud backups that could not be altered or deleted during a ransomware attack. Wasabi Technologies helped the team set up and integrate the solution in about 10 minutes, improved long-term retention with up to two years of immutable GFS backups, and delivered lower-cost storage than other cloud options while saving days of operational effort.
