At Infosecurity Europe in London, Pete Hannah, VP of Sales for Western Europe at Object First, joins Sean Martin to reframe a question many organizations still get wrong. The issue is not only how to keep ransomware out, but how quickly you can recover once it gets in. With Europe's regulatory landscape tightening, that distinction is becoming the difference between disruption and disaster. What does the UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill actually demand? According to Pete Hannah, it reads less like a checklist and more like an operational resilience standard. It expects organizations to manage threats, prove they have tested their recovery plans, and treat resilience as a board-level responsibility with real financial penalties. More than ninety percent of the bill already applies in practice, so waiting for it to become law is a risk in itself. Why do backups matter so much? Because more than ninety percent of cyberattacks target them first. Pete Hannah explains that "immutable" has become a marketing word, and the meaningful test is whether anyone still holds the access to destroy protected data. Object First answers that with absolute immutability, independently tested, with zero destructive access for admins or compromised accounts. That protection is purpose-built for Veeam environments through the Ootbi appliance, the resilient bunker that stays standing even when every password is known and every other system is compromised. When recovery is guaranteed, teams stop worrying about whether they will recover and focus instead on how fast. How does a stretched IT team adopt this without adding overhead? Pete Hannah describes deployment as taking the appliance out of the box, racking it, connecting it, and pointing backups at it. For boards and CISOs under budget and resource pressure, simplicity is the selling point. It is easy to manage, easy to prove, and dependable when it matters. The proof is in the field. Pete Hannah shares stories of customers who survived worst-case scenarios because Object First was the only thing left standing, and one who tracked him down simply to say thank you. In an era where AI is accelerating attacks and a single compromised password has bankrupted companies, knowing you can recover is the new definition of good enough. This is a Brand Spotlight. A Brand Spotlight is a ~15 minute conversation designed to explore the guest, their company, and what makes their approach unique.
