Scality introduced the ARTESCA Cyber Guarantee, offering a $100,000 USD financial commitment paid directly to customers if an external cyberattack destroys or encrypts data protected with ARTESCA’s immutable storage.
Unlike complex vendor programs that advertise larger amounts, but are difficult to claim and often limited to top-tier enterprise buyers, Scality’s guarantee is designed to be clear, accessible, and built for the mid-market. The ARTESCA Cyber Guarantee is simple: $100,000, with straightforward eligibility. It applies to every ARTESCA customer as long as they keep ARTESCA up-to-date and protect data using Object Lock in compliance mode.
This announcement follows the latest ARTESCA 4.1 release, which introduced new cyber-resilience enhancements designed to strengthen secure deployments and protect backup data against ransomware and other destructive attacks.
A cyber-guarantee program for everyone
In an era where ransomware has become a business-disrupting certainty, organizations are increasingly relying on immutable backup storage as their last line of defense. ARTESCA has become a trusted immutable storage target for modern data protection environments, including those built on Veeam, Commvault and other leading backup platforms.
The ARTESCA Cyber Guarantee is a straightforward financial payout designed to help mid-market customers respond quickly and recover. A customer protecting 50TB with ARTESCA may spend only a few thousand dollars per year, yet still qualifies for the same $100,000 payout. This represents an assurance level that is proportionally much higher than programs tied to much larger enterprise purchase commitments.
“Customers count on ARTESCA to ensure their backup data remains safe, recoverable, and tamper-proof even under the most extreme conditions,” said Jérôme Lecat, CEO of Scality. “With this cyber guarantee, we’re putting our money where our architecture is. It’s a simple, direct promise that reflects the confidence we have in ARTESCA’s cyber resilience.”
To further reduce cost-of-entry barriers, Scality does not require customers to purchase a special support or services contract to qualify.
Enhancing cyber resilience by design
The cyber guarantee is offered as a direct consequence of ARTESCA’s ongoing investments in cyber resilience and operational hardening. The latest ARTESCA 4.1.3 release adds capabilities to strengthen core resilience and trust mechanisms, including:
- Enhanced certificate and trust management for secure integrations
- Improved replication capabilities to support stronger resilience architectures
- Expanded support for immutable object protection through Object Lock
Together, these capabilities ensure backup data remains protected, recoverable, and operationally resilient, thereby aligning with the direction industry analysts increasingly emphasize around measurable cyber resilience and assurance.

The ARTESCA Cyber Guarantee builds on the leading CORE5 cyber resiliency and immutability capabilities offered in ARTESCA, and it applies to all commercial ARTESCA licenses. The ARTESCA Cyber Guarantee offer is subject to eligibility requirements and terms as defined in the ARTESCA EULA.
