BackupAssist Launches BackupAssist 365 Cloud-to-Local Backup Solution\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

BackupAssist 365 Provides Automated Local Backup of Cloud Data to Provide SMEs with Resilience to CyberAttacks of Cloud Data While Minimizing Regulatory Compliance and Security Risks at Up to a 75% Cost Savings Over Cloud-to-Cloud Alternatives<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Melbourne, Australia<\/strong> and <\/strong>BOSTON (September 18, 2018)<\/strong> \u2013 BackupAssist<\/a>\u00ae, a leading provider of automated Windows server backup and recovery software for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), today announced the general availability launch of BackupAssist 365<\/a>, an easy to use cloud-to-local solution that enables customers to automatically download emails and files from the cloud and keep a local backup copy on-premise for business continuity, long-term retention and discovery while minimizing regulatory compliance and security risks.<\/p>\n

The cloud computing market is forcasted to be a $300bn business by 2021. However, cloud computing has also been identified as the top risk concern for executives in risk, audit, finance and compliance according to a new Emerging Risks Report<\/a> by Gartner.\u00a0 The report stated, \u201cDespite record spending on information security in the last two years, organizations have lost an estimated $400bn to cyber theft and fraud worldwide. As cybersecurity events and data breaches increase, it is imperative that organizations elevate IT security to a board-level topic and an essential part of any solid digital business growth strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The BackupAssist 365 cloud-to-local system addresses many of the security issues of cloud computing that can put companies at risk of business disruption, or violating GDPR and other compliance mandates. BackupAssist 365 provides backups of cloud data in non-proprietary data formats, giving customers back control of their data while maintaining the benefits of cloud storage for primary operations. These on-premise backups become invaluable in event of a ransomware attack or security breach in the cloud.<\/p>\n

A survey conducted by SMB Nation and BackupAssist revealed that 67% of North American MSPs are concerned about the protection and recovery of file data in the cloud in lieu of a cyberattack, or security breach while another 18% cited email as a top concern in protecting clients content. All noted that backing up file and email data from the cloud to a local site allows MSPs to automatically recover data if needed to minimize risk and exposure.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany of our customers are in highly regulated industries with stringent compliance requirements,\u201d said Cybertek Engineering<\/a>, CIO, David Neel. \u201cThe cloud is a great choice for MSPs to store large amounts of data cost-effectively. However, if files or emails are corrupted, or hijacked recovering large volumes of data from the cloud can be a crapshoot at best. I\u2019ve witnessed this firsthand trying to recover a 1TB file with one of the leading cloud vendors with no luck.\u201d BackupAssist 365 solves this recovery dilemma by automatically backing up files and emails from the cloud to a local site, so data can be restored instantaneously with no business disruption.\u201d<\/p>\n
