			Object First's Anthony Cusimano Discusses Ransomware-Proof Storage Solutions and VeeamON 2025
In this latest episode of the VMblog Expert Interview Series, we welcome back Anthony Cusimano, Technical Marketing Director at Object First, to discuss the company's innovative approach to secure backup storage for Veeam environments.
Anthony provides an in-depth look at Object First's technology—founded by Veeam creators Ratmir Timashev and Andrei Baronov—which focuses on creating ransomware-proof storage devices specifically built for Veeam backup data. The company's OOTBI (Out-Of-The-Box Immutability) solution combines hardened security at every layer with a zero access policy for destructive actions, ensuring backup data remains immutable and protected against ransomware attacks.
Key highlights from our conversation include:
* How Object First's technology works to create truly immutable backup storage
* The unique security approach that prevents even administrators from deleting data within immutability windows
* Results from third-party security testing by NCC Group confirming the platform's security capabilities
* Object First's latest product releases, including new 20TB, 40TB, and 432TB storage appliances
* Upcoming announcements at VeeamON 2025 regarding new acquisition models and pricing structures
* The continued acceleration of ransomware threats, with Anthony noting that "96% of the time that a ransomware attack happens, the ransomware goes after the backup data"
Anthony also shares insights about Object First's close partnership with Veeam and their continued commitment to staying in lockstep with Veeam's development roadmap to provide the best possible secure storage solutions for Veeam users.
If you're attending VeeamON 2025, be sure to stop by the Object First booth for product demos, trivia sessions with prizes including Star Wars LEGO sets, and to learn about their latest announcements.
For those who can't attend VeeamON in person, Anthony invites viewers to visit objectfirst.com, follow Object First on LinkedIn, or tune into their monthly "Zero Gravity" show on YouTube for all the latest updates.
