Data protection is a top priority for organizations and has become increasingly important due to the prevalence of cyberattacks. Cyberattacks can be from either external sources or from bad actors within an organization.
Dell Technologies provides a product feature called Retention Lock that prevents data from being deleted or modified in any way. Enabling the Retention Lock feature results in backup data being stored on the data protection appliance in an immutable manner.
