Securing data in terms of “sovereignty” and at the same time guaranteeing investments in line with public budgets: the Italian Cubbit makes its way into the national cloud storage market thanks to an offer that leverages quality and attention to costs.
The pillars of the Cubbit strategy
Two pillars of the strategy: a Rnetworks of geo-distributed data centers to “secure” public data and a pcommercial proposition which – assures the Bolognese company – allows you to save money untill 50% compared to Aruba solutions e up to 80% compared to AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. All with a strong focus on eco-sustainability: according to data provided by Cubbit the saving in terms of CO2 reaches 25 kg per year per Terabyte archived.
Already conquered 130 between PA and companies
Founded in Bologna in 2016 by Marco Moschettini, Stefano Onofri and Alessandro Cillario and Lorenzo Posani in just a few years Cubbit has managed to “conquer” over 130 between PA and companiesincluding the Municipalities of Marcheno, Vico Equense and Fermignano, the Parma Public Transport company, the G. Marconi Airport of Bologna and strong names in national entrepreneurship from Granarolo to Amadori up to Bonfiglioli.
Cubbit aboard the European cloud Gaia-X
Cubbit is also among the companies involved in the European cloud project Gaia-X. “As a partner of Gaia-X, Cubbit is at the forefront of European technological innovation and has attracted significant investment from international investors including the European Commission, Techstars, Barclays and Cassa Depositi e Prestiti- andhighlights the co-CEO Stefano Onofri -.

In Italy, cyber risk is on the rise
According to the Clusit report, the number of cyber attacks against Italian companies in the last year has grown by 168.6% compared to an increase of 21.5% globally. On ppublic administration is the first target with 20% of the total closely followed by the manufacturing sector with 19%, a very different distribution compared to the rest of the world, where the two categories collect respectively 12% and 5% of the attacks.
Il cloud storage Cubbit
Cubbit is the first geo-distributed cloud storage in Europe. “What makes Cubbit unique in today’s technological landscape is its geo-distributed nature – explains Stefano Onofri -. Instead of relying on a few centralized and vulnerable data centers, Cubbit encrypts, fragments, redundancy and distributes the data on a network of peer-to-peer nodes scattered throughout the territory, ensuring the highest levels of resiliency in addition to significant savings for the customer both in economic terms. And Cubbit’s S3-compatible technology allows you to seamlessly migrate from expensive cloud services to your own platform and integrates seamlessly with popular IT management software.”
Data sovereignty
The data is kept in Italy only, in full compliance with the GDPR and the company periodically undergoes external audits by independent bodies. It has obtained the certifications Iso 9001:2015 (quality management systems), Iso/Iec 27001:2013 (information security management), Iso/Iec 27017:2015 (cloud security), Iso/Iec 27018:2019 (privacy in cloud and personal data protection).
Cubbit’s cloud object storage services are also enabled A map and are accredited by the ANational Cybersecurity Agency. Cubbit finally got the “Cybersecurity Made In Europe Label”a recognition for European IT companies that certifies the company’s commitment to innovation and compliance with European regulations on information security.
Data recovery after a hacker attack
Cubbit offers one next generation solution for data recovery after a ransomware attack: it is a object storage “immutabile”, explains the company. By being compatible with the S3 ecosystem, Cubbit can offer two key features in ransomware prevention and protection: S3 Object Locking and S3 Object Versioning.
In detail, theS3 Object Versioning is a tool that allows you to maintain multiple variants of a file. You can use S3 Object Versioning to keep, retrieve, and restore not only the latest version of every stored file, but all previous versions as well. L’S3 Object Locking instead it allows the user to choose which data he wants to make immutable for a specific period of time. “During this period, nothing and no one — not even ransomware — can delete, encrypt or modify user data,” Stefano Onofri points out. With S3 Object Locking and S3 Object Versioning, Cubbit ensures compliance with the GDPR and other data protection and retention regulations, while ensuring maximum resilience against ransomware, natural disasters and accidental deletions.
Broad compatibility with Cubbit’s S3 ecosystem offers another big plus: versatility. The user can easily implement S3 Object Locking and S3 Object Versioning in any existing application or infrastructure that uses the S3 protocol. “In other words – explains Onofri – the user does not need to modify his modus operandi to benefit from Cubbit’s powerful functions or to use other software or applications”.
