Immutable storage is a data storage method where information, once written, cannot be modified, deleted, or overwritten for a specified retention period. This “write-once, read-many” (WORM) approach ensures data integrity, security, and compliance by preventing tampering from accidental deletions, ransomware, or unauthorized changes. Immutable storage typically uses encryption, strict access controls, and time-stamped locks to safeguard data, making it a critical component in backup, disaster recovery, and regulatory adherence strategies.
