Reading Time: 5 minutes Lot of storage, cloud and backup solutions are promising some kind of data immutability. Of course, immutability is an important key capability, but it does not imply automatically that your solution is secure (or more secure). It can give a false sense of security if not implemented properly. When misconfigured, it is possible to delete supposedly immutable data, for example, by manipulating time/date settings on the storage device to bypass retention enforcement mechanisms.
