# Immutable Cloud Storage - IMCB

##### What is Immutable Cloud Backup?

Immutable Cloud Backup (IMCB) is a service that protects your critical data from cyber threats, accidental deletions, and insider risks. IMCB ensures that your data cannot be altered or deleted during a predefined retention period. This immutability creates a tamper-proof [backup](https://www.cegal.com/en/dictionary/backup) that acts as a last line of defense against ransomware attacks and other data loss scenarios.

The service stores backups in a secure, isolated [Azure](https://www.cegal.com/en/dictionary/azure) tenant, separated from your operational systems. Once configured, your data is "locked" for the duration you choose - such as 30 days or longer - making it impossible to modify or delete the data during this time, even for administrators. IMCB also includes features like regular restore tests to verify integrity and support for multiple data sources, such as [databases](https://www.cegal.com/en/dictionary/database) and file shares.

### Why is IMCB important?

As [ransomware](https://www.cegal.com/en/dictionary/ransomware) attacks and insider threats become more sophisticated, organizations face increasing risks. IMCB mitigates these risks by ensuring backups remain untouchable - like locking your valuables in a safe and hiding it somewhere no one can access - giving businesses peace of mind that their data is secure and recoverable, even in the worst-case scenario.
