Dedicated Solu on Required
Protec on measures don't stop with simply understanding the shared responsibility model; they require purpose-built
tools to properly safeguard and recover data from today's threats. We find three key components where dedicated
solu ons extend beyond na ve capabili es—to offer advanced protec on from ransomware, internal bad actors, and
accidental dele on events.
Data Isola on
While malicious a acks can encrypt business data in Microso 365 produc on environments,
separate and immutable backups maintain a protected data copy that cannot be tampered with,
altered, or deleted in the event of a breach. By storing data copies outside of Microso 365 in
a separate security domain, third-party solu ons can ensure that ransomware a acks which
successfully penetrate Microso environments, cannot also infect backup copies.
Extended Reten on
While Microso offers short-term reten on via its recycling bins, it's cri cal to employ a long-
term data reten on policy and solu on that removes any limita ons you might otherwise
encounter with your SaaS-na ve backup op ons. This means all ac ve and deleted data can be
recovered in the event of a breach, regardless of how old the data is.
Rapid Recovery
Backing up data means nothing without recovery. When it comes me to restore business-
cri cal data within Microso 365, it's impera ve that you have fast, flexible, and full-fidelity
recovery op ons. Purpose-built solu ons offer the performance and precision needed to
quickly restore invaluable data, limit down me, and deliver higher levels of business con nuity.
