Many MSPs today offer Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) and Disaster-Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS) as core solutions, but often overlook the revenue potential behind them. BaaS and DRaaS comes with built-in capabilities that can be packaged and delivered as value-added services, creating new revenue streams beyond basic backup. However, while MSPs expand service offerings, these expanded services often come with additional infrastructure and operational costs that impact overall profitability. MSPs should take a more strategic approach and evaluate not just how to deliver these services, but how to do so profitably. Key features MSPs can monetize Disaster recovery (DR) testing DR testing has become increasingly

The ISO 27001 standard helps ensure companies can achieve business goals and maintain operations in the event of sudden data loss. ISO 27001 is a risk-based standard for establishing and maintaining a company’s information security risks. It outlines requirements for managing and protecting data in terms of confidentiality, integrity, and availability in order to reduce risk and improve security posture. Organizations must identify sensitive corporate data, assess risks, and make plans to protect the data against the growing

According to statistics, more than 93 million healthcare records were exposed or stolen in 2023. This highlights the importance of improving healthcare cyber resilience to prevent the misuse and unauthorized sharing of patient data. This can be done by meeting healthcare regulations such as HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996). HIPAA is a U.S. government mandated healthcare regulation that dictates why and how healthcare organizations need to meet patient privacy and data protection requirements in the U.S. It applies to healthcare providers such as doctors, hospitals, clinics, and healthcare plan providers such as insurance companies, and even

Microsoft Teams is widely used for organizational communication, supporting everything from project collaboration and file sharing to daily conversations. As a result, the data generated within Teams is now critical to business operations. Teams consist of multiple services that are designed for various collaboration needs, including public team channels and private 1:1 chats or group chats. However, many backup solutions focus on team channels, while private chats often go unsupported. This isn’t because chat data is unimportant, but because backing it up introduces significant technical challenges. The hidden complexity behind Teams 1:1 chat backup Although backing up private chats may

Did you know that there has been a 1200% surge in phishing attacks? The rise of AI has turned into a double-edged sword as it can aid businesses but it can also target them.

With the rise of AI-powered ransomware, it’s more important than ever before to secure your data against emerging cyber threats as they continue to threaten businesses around the world. Roughly 71% of businesses reported an increase in the frequency of cyberattacks over the past year while 61% reported an increase of cyber attack severity in the same time frame, according to statistics. Some businesses might underestimate the risk of cyber attacks which could lead to under investing when businesses are looking to securing data. Businesses, especially rapidly growing ones, often generate a lot of data. A lot of data is

As cybersecurity threats continue to intensify, backup strategies no longer serve as an “insurance policy” against natural disasters or human errors. Instead, backup policies have become an essential defense strategy that determines whether an organization can continue to operate without issues in the face of a ransomware attack and sudden data loss. Astra Security noted that, on average, a business somewhere in the world falls victim to a ransomware attack every 40 seconds. Interestingly, these attackers are no longer solely focusing on large enterprises. Small to mid-sized businesses, distributed units, retail outlets, and temporary sites are increasingly being hit by

Is tape backup dead? The rise of cyber threats has led to a long list of requirements for creating a business continuity plan. However, tape is not dead; many companies still use it to meet regulatory audits. In our view, tape has not lost its value; it has simply been mispositioned. Its strengths lie in its durability, cost efficiency, and offline storage, which make it ideal for long-term retention. The real challenge for organizations today is how to reposition tapes within a modern data protection architecture. Tapes should complement, rather than compete with, modern backup solutions. Updated role for tapes:
