The backup Microsoft never promised you

Microsoft provides crucial cloud services, but its native backup and recovery tools are insufficient for true cyber resilience. The organization's shared responsibility model means customers must plan for data protection, especially against ransomware attacks. AI-powered phishing and credential compromise are increasingly common attack vectors that exploit weak identities to gain access to sensitive data.

Moving workloads across IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS models adds complexity to managing data protection consistently. Compliance requirements for cyber resilience often go unmet, leaving organizations vulnerable. To ensure business continuity, companies should maintain independent, immutable backups stored offsite in a dedicated cloud-to-cloud backup solution.

This approach provides a reliable backup strategy in case Microsoft credentials are compromised, minimizing the impact of a ransomware attack.
