## Immutable storage

**Xopero** takes advantage of **WORM**-compliant storage technology— **WORM** (write once read many) is a data storage device in which information, once written, cannot be modified. This write protection affords the assurance that the data cannot be tampered with once it is written to the device, excluding the possibility of data loss from human error, computer bugs, or malware.

The comprehensive security suite includes:

* [x] Enable **Object Lock**
* [x] Enable versioning
* [x] Retention policy configuration

Data stored in **WORM** storage is considered immutable data— it can be read by authorized users, but the data is protected and <mark style="color:$danger;">cannot be edited, altered, or deleted</mark>.
