Your last line of defense against ransomware
Never lose your critical data again with Impossible Cloud & Wasabi
Every day, more than 600 million threats are detected on Microsoft systems worldwide【Microsoft Report 2024】. Cyberattacks are becoming more frequent, faster, and more destructive. Among them, human-operated ransomware has become the number one threat.
Microsoft has observed that manually operated ransomware attacks have increased by a factor of 2.75 year-over-year."

Why has immutable backup become an absolute necessity?
Backups are now directly targeted. Cybercriminals no longer just encrypt data: they start by destroying or altering your backup copies. If your backups are not protected by immutability, they will be useless.
That's why the combination of Impossible Cloud and Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage represents the ultimate resilience combo: immutable, sovereign backups deployed in secure, high-performance cloud environments.
Impossible Cloud & Wasabi: the winning combination for technically unalterable backup
Impossible Cloud (European decentralized infrastructure) combined with Wasabi (high-performance immutable S3 storage) offers you last-line protection that cannot be modified, deleted, or encrypted.
What is immutability in the cloud?
This is the ability to lock a backup for a given period of time, without the possibility of modification or deletion, even by an administrator. This prevents ransomware, human error, malicious scripts, and accidental deletions.
> This is exactly what Microsoft recommends: Protecting backups from modification or deletion is an integral part of a cyber resilience strategy.
Why do traditional solutions fail in the face of new attacks?
| Traditional solution | Critical limit identified |
|---|---|
| Local NAS + snapshot | Easily accessible via compromised AD or RDP access |
| Traditional cloud backup (S3, Azure) | Can be deleted if the admin token is compromised |
| PRA without immutability | Restoration possible, but data already encrypted |
Attackers delete snapshots and disable backup plans as soon as they first infiltrate the system.
Use case: How an immutable backup saves you
Simulated scenario (excerpt from LOGIQE Red Team):
- Targeted phishing intrusion (fake Office365 invoice)
- Rapid lateral movement toward the domain controller
- Deleting NAS backups via Veeam Console
- Disk encryption and ransom demand: 3 BTC
> The only surviving backup?
A Wasabi bucket in immutable mode, replicated across multiple regions on Impossible Cloud.
Complete restoration of the IT system in 9 hours. No payment. No loss.
Technical advantages of Impossible Cloud + Wasabi immutable backup
| Function | Detail |
|---|---|
| Native immutability S3 Object Lock | Protects backups even if root access is compromised |
| European multi-zone redundancy | Hosting outside the US Cloud Act |
| Compatibility with Veeam, MSP360, NAKIVO | Seamless integration into your existing workflows |
| Fixed-cost performance | No egress (exit/transfer fees), no hidden fees, fast food |
A secure cloud strategy relies on resilience, geo-replication, and immutability.
How can LOGIQE integrate this technology into your architecture?
As a specialized integrator, LOGIQE supports you in deploying an unalterable continuity architecture:
> Analysis of your existing PRA/PCA
> Wasabi + Impossible Cloud deployment with immutable policies
> Integrity verification via automatic hash
> Restoration simulation and Red Team tests
> Monitoring and alerts via SOC LOGIQE
Key points:
- Immutability is the only true post-intrusion defense
- Wasabi & Impossible Cloud keep your data safe and out of reach
- Microsoft recommends backups that are protected against deletion.
- LOGIQE helps you integrate these technologies with your IT system.
Conclusion: prevention is better than cure
With Wasabi + Impossible Cloud and LOGIQE's expertise, you can block cybercriminals' ultimate leverage: the destruction or encryption of your backups.
Immutability is becoming a requirement, not an option.

FAQ – Your questions, our answers
What exactly is an immutable backup?
An immutable backup is a copy of data that is protected against modification, deletion, or encryption for a specified period of time. Even an administrator with elevated privileges cannot alter or delete this backup until the retention period has expired.
Why is immutability crucial when dealing with ransomware?
Cybercriminals now target backups first, even before launching encryption. By making your backups tamper-proof, you ensure a secure rollback—even after a successful attack.
Wasabi + Impossible Cloud, what does this add?
This combination combines:
Wasabi: immutable, fast S3 storage with no hidden fees
Impossible Cloud: decentralized European infrastructure, sovereign hosting, compatible with GDPR and NIS 2 requirements
Their integration guarantees uninterrupted, sovereign, and economically optimized service continuity.
What if the attacker has administrator rights?
Even with root privileges, S3 Object Lock immutability prevents data from being deleted or altered until the defined period expires. This makes it impossible for an attacker to "clean up" or disable these backups once they have been configured correctly.
Is it compatible with Veeam, MSP360, Nakivo, etc.?
Yes. Wasabi and Impossible Cloud integrate natively with leading enterprise backup solutions. Immutability policies can be automatically applied from backup consoles.
What is the performance level for catering?
Wasabi does not charge any egress fees, enabling fast, unlimited restoration at no extra cost, even in the event of a major disaster. This is a strategic advantage over traditional cloud solutions.
How can LOGIQE help me?
LOGIQE supports you every step of the way:
Audit of your disaster recovery plans and backup flows
Deployment of immutable multi-region buckets
Simulated restoration tests
SOC monitoring of vulnerabilities and backup integrity
Alignment with NIS Directive 2
Is there a risk of blocking or loss of access?
No, as long as immutability policies are planned intelligently (rotation, multiple copies, error detection). LOGIQE configures monitoring and automatic verification mechanisms (via hash and logs) to ensure constant availability.
Does immutability replace a PRA strategy?
No, it complements it. Immutability is a post-intrusion safety net. It ensures that your backups are usable even after compromise, which a traditional disaster recovery architecture alone cannot guarantee.
