Amazon S3 Object Lock provides a feature to store objects using a write-once-read-many (WORM) model, which helps to ensure compliance and data protection by preventing the deletion or modification of objects for a specified retention period. Ensuring that S3 buckets have Object Lock enabled can help protect against accidental or malicious deletion or modification of objects.
