The growth of software-as-a-service (SaaS) is creating a growing gap between data that should be backed up and existing backup workloads. For IT Leaders managing data, it can be hard to stay ahead of the curve, and depending solely on SaaS vendors for backups poses significant risks.
The eBook “Closing The SaaS Backup Gap” presents a compelling argument for the increased necessity for robust SaaS backup solutions to safeguard the escalating volumes of high-value data generated in SaaS applications.
Vulnerable Business-critical Data
The failure to properly backup SaaS data exposes organizations to a host of threats including ransomware attacks, sync issues and service interruptions. Recent ransomware incidents with Microsoft 365 and MOVEit underscore the dangers of solely depending on SaaS vendor backups.
As these attacks demonstrated, there’s no substitute for having control over your organization’s data. Relying on SaaS vendor backups presents several challenges, including limited retention periods and API call restrictions, which can hinder data recovery during emergencies.
Although many organizations focus on backing up data from well-known SaaS applications such as Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, they frequently overlook the numerous other applications generating and storing data in the cloud. This oversight results in a discrepancy between what needs to be backed up and what is actually backed up, leaving crucial data unprotected.
