Asigra has announced the general availability of SaaSAssure, a SaaS-based data protection platform designed to provide comprehensive data recovery for SaaS applications. The span of protection goes beyond the ‘Big Three’ SaaS applications of Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and Salesforce to include other line of business (LoB) applications used by organizations globally.
Most SaaS applications offer very limited data recovery capabilities, if any, leaving businesses vulnerable. It is imperative, Therefore, that users protect their own information. This aligns with the shared responsibility model where the cloud service provider (CSP) manages infrastructure security and the business user is responsible for data recovery.
In the shared responsibility model, the SaaS provider agrees to be responsible for securing its cloud infrastructure (servers and network) and takes care of related maintenance and management. The customer is responsible for the data generated and/or stored in the cloud environment from user accounts. To keep the data safe means that customers must backup the data themselves and store it safely under their control. Many organizations fail to layer their own protection on these systems and are often shocked to discover their data lost, stolen or compromised when improperly protected.
Asigra’s SaaSAssure platform offers data protection that empowers organizations to safeguard critical SaaS application data comprehensively. Designed from the ground up as a true cloud-based service, SaaSAssure provides enterprise-grade data recovery, compliance, and security across an extensive portfolio of SaaS applications. With its foundation in robust AWS architecture, SaaSAssure integrates advanced security features that protect against both external threats and internal mishaps, preventing data loss. For Managed Service Providers (MSPs), it provides a valuable opportunity to enhance their solution suite to better support clients.
Of the wide range of SaaS applications supported by the channel, Asigra’s SaaSAssure platform brings pre-configured integrations with Salesforce, Microsoft 365, MS Exchange, SharePoint, JIRA and Confluence (both by Atlassian), Quickbooks Online (Intuit Inc.), Box, OneDrive, and HubSpot, with more to be announced as the platform expands.
