Backup
As you adapt to a fully remote workforce, how are you protecting the data users create and store in online Exchange, Teams, Groups, SharePoint, and OneDrive? Microsoft provides some basic native archiving and data-recovery capabilities, but they’re not intended to be a comprehensive data-protection strategy—indeed, Microsoft’s own Terms of Service recommend using a third-party backup solution to get dependable and effective data protection.
Attend this informational webinar to gain a complete understanding of the threats to your cloud-hosted data—including the unique risks arising from the rapid shift to operating in a fully remote work environment. And see for yourself why a third-party backup solution purpose-built for the cloud is the most effective way to ensure that if data is lost, corrupted, deleted accidentally, or encrypted by a ransomware attack, you can easily and quickly restore exactly the data you need, with practically no downtime.
Don’t leave your organization vulnerable to accidental or malicious data loss during this time of unfamiliar processes.
Register now for this eye-opening webinar and get the info and insights you need to gain truly comprehensive data protection in the cloud.
