Wasabi Technologies, a leader in hot cloud storage, has launched Covert Copy. This patent-pending tool offers businesses a new level of protection against ransomware. This advanced solution lets organizations create locked, invisible copies of storage buckets. These copies stay safe, even during cyberattacks. Unlike traditional methods, the Covert Copy approach is entirely undetectable until authorized, fortifying cloud storage with a new dimension of security.
As the adoption of artificial intelligence continues to grow, so does the sensitivity and value of enterprise data. Cybercriminals are now targeting backup systems and cloud setups more than ever. So, we need stronger data protection measures. IDC’s Worldwide Security Spending Guide shows that global security investments are expected to rise by 12.2% each year in 2025. Covert Copy boosts immutability by hiding vital data from internal and external threats. With zero egress fees and enforced multi-user authentication, the new offering delivers dependable, cost-efficient safeguards for backup and disaster recovery operations.
“Organizations are under increasing pressure, both internally and from regulators, to ensure that their data is untouchable,” said David Boland, vice president of cloud strategy at Wasabi Technologies. “However, implementing strategic data protection programs is often difficult, time-consuming, and expensive. Covert Copy enables enterprises to seamlessly and affordably ensure their data is completely hidden from bad actors and ransomware attacks. For cyber attackers, you can’t attack what you can’t see.”

Covert Copy differentiates itself from other cloud-based security tools by simplifying implementation. Users select the data they want to protect. Then, they activate the Covert Copy process with just a few clicks. This makes it easy, so there’s no need to handle complex security setups. This easy setup appeals to businesses that want to reduce complexity and keep data safe. Covert Copy meets strict regulatory standards like HIPAA, GDPR, UK GDPR, and SEC data protection rules. It’s ideal for industries that need compliance, like finance, healthcare, and government.
The new capability expands Wasabi’s suite of cyber-resilience features, which already includes data encryption, object locking, bucket replication, and integrated multi-user authentication. With these combined technologies and the promise of no egress charges, organizations can now build scalable, ironclad cloud security strategies.
Covert Copy is available immediately to all Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage customers at no additional cost through Wasabi and its partner ecosystem, including resellers and managed service providers.
