Backblaze, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLZE), the cloud storage innovator providing a modern alternative to traditional cloud providers, announced today that TMC, a global, integrated media company, has named Backblaze B2 Object Lock as a 2025 Cloud Computing Security Excellence Award winner.
The Cloud Computing Security Excellence Award, presented by Cloud Computing magazine, recognizes companies that have most effectively leveraged cloud computing in their efforts to bring powerful cyber security offerings to market.
Backblaze B2 Object Lock is a critical feature that makes data immutable, preventing files from being altered or deleted for a specified retention period. This immutability acts as a virtual air gap, protecting backups from ransomware, insider threats, accidental deletions, and human error. By allowing organizations to designate storage buckets as immutable, Object Lock helps to support regulatory compliance and legal hold requirements, and strengthens business continuity and disaster recovery strategies.
“This recognition validates Backblaze’s commitment to helping businesses navigate an era of escalating cyber threats and stringent data regulations,” said Gleb Budman, CEO and co-founder of Backblaze. “Object Lock supports organizations by making critical files tamper-proof for a set period, even helping to protect them from insider threats or cyberattacks. It’s an essential safeguard for security and regulatory requirements that demand both secure data retention and timely deletion. Backblaze B2 Object Lock helps ensure data is protected, compliant, and truly backed up when it matters most.”
“Recognizing leaders in the advancement of cloud computing, TMC and Cloud Computing magazine are proud to announce Object Lock as a recipient of the Cloud Computing Security Excellence Award,” said Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC. “Backblaze is being honored for their achievement in bringing innovation and excellence to this crucial market segment.”
