DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Object First, the best storage for Veeam®, today announced that it has been named a Top InfoSec Innovator and Data Security Trailblazer in 2025 by Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM), a leading electronic information security magazine.

In its 13th iteration, the Top InfoSec Innovators Awards recognize companies that are shaping the future of cybersecurity through groundbreaking technology, practical solutions, and measurable outcomes. The awards are recognized globally for highlighting companies that demonstrate exceptional innovation in defending against cyber threats.

Object First delivers secure, simple, and powerful backup storage that’s absolutely immutable and purpose-built for Veeam. It’s simple to deploy and manage with no security expertise required and is powerful enough for lighting fast backups and supercharged Instant Recovery to scale with any business. Third-party tested and verified to be secure, Object First ransomware-proofs organizations and makes them simply resilient to cyber threats.

“Object First embodies three major features we judges look for with the potential to become winners: understanding tomorrow’s threats, today, providing a cost-effective solution and innovating in unexpected ways that can help mitigate cyber risk and get one step ahead of the next breach,” said Gary S. Miliefsky, Publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine.

“Today, ransomware is a when—not if—for every organization. Effective cybersecurity is about achieving resilience without complexity, and backup storage with Absolute Immutability plays an essential role in achieving that,” said David Bennett, CEO, Object First. “We’re proud that CDM has recognized us as a 2025 Top InfoSec Innovator and Data Security Trailblazer for 2025 as we continue our mission to provide secure, simple, and powerful ransomware-proof storage to Veeam users.”
