Don’t Risk Your SaaS Data to Ransomware.
Here’s What You Need to Know
Moving to the cloud delivers many benefits, like cost optimization and infrastructure reliability. And cloud-based data protection and recovery is quickly becoming the new norm. But when it comes to protecting your SaaS data and applications, do you know who is responsible? Hint: It’s not your SaaS vendor. In fact, 70% of organizations will have suffered a business disruption due to unrecoverable data loss in a SaaS application by 2022*.
Join Andy Fernandez and Rick Sloane as they discuss optimizing cloud data protection for SaaS.
Hear how:
- Protecting SaaS data in cloud services like Microsoft 365, Salesforce, Google Workspace, and Dynamics 365 is your responsibility
- You can unlock secure, robust and scalable data protection for SaaS backup scenarios, from ransomware to file deletions
- You can protect cloud data across your SaaS services with one simple solution

PREMIER SESSION

Twenty one days – the average downtime from a ransomware attack in Q4 2020 (up 11% from Q3 2020).*
With a recent increase in the number, sophistication, and cost of ransomware attacks IT leaders are looking into strategies that will reduce the risk and potentially disastrous implications of an attack to the business. A modern SaaS-based data protection platform can provide the resilience organizations require and enable substantially faster recovery of both data center and cloud workloads (versus traditional data protection), minimizing or eliminating the financial impact of downtime and lost data. Building resilience to ransomware is easier than ever with the power of the public cloud.
Join us for this interactive webinar to learn:
- How the increased threats & regulations are driving change in data protection strategies
- How the public cloud can transform your data center backup & DR approach
- What to consider when evaluating your cloud backup & DR options
- How SaaS-based data protection can help you quickly recover from a ransomware attack

You’re moving more services to the cloud, but suddenly, the developers begin pushing workloads to a different public cloud. And Internal departments are using yet another cloud themselves.
Sound familiar? You’re not alone.
According to Gartner, about 75% of enterprise customers using cloud infrastructure as a service (IaaS) will adopt multi-cloud by 2022, up from 49% in 2017. Multiple providers are common when it comes to different business operations, their various use cases, and the type of workloads they’re running.
But while a multi-cloud environment provides flexibility, it can be a challenge to ensure overall data security and visibility, proper management, and governance.
Join cloud-native market expert Louie Ferreira and cloud architect Bill Gurling as they walk you through how to:
- Shed the toil caused by changing cloud environments
- Consolidate your data management via automation
- Future-proof further changes to your cloud strategy
- 2:45pm – 3pm EST
