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.

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.”
