Many businesses utilize SaaS applications such as Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace for their everyday business operations such as email, customer relationship management, and finance. It is projected that by 2022, over 75% of businesses will run almost entirely on SaaS applications, making most organizations completely cloud-based. Although these SaaS applications are on the cloud, they are not as protected as they may seem. Just because they are cloud-based does not mean they are not vulnerable to data loss.

Applications like Microsoft 365 feature auto-save options to reduce the effect of device loss, but even with these features in place, human error has been the leading factor in data breaches and data loss. Users can still accidentally delete files, open phishing emails, or accidentally download malware.

 

SaaS Protection & Backup Solutions

With SaaS Backup and Protection solutions, automated, routine backups protect your data from any type of human error or malicious deletion. Organizations can recover lost data quickly and easily, reducing downtime and increasing productivity. Microsoft and Google have been experiencing a rise in widespread network outages, which affect millions of businesses and cause disruptive downtime. If a network outage occurs, a SaaS protection solution can easily export your files offline to allow continuous productivity.

Without a third-party backup solution for your SaaS applications, you can lose all the information stored in your Outlook or saved on SharePoint. Imagine losing important information associated with a high-profile client. Data loss can affect your business’s reputation and productivity, costing you thousands of dollars and countless hours.

SaaS protection can go one step further and, in addition to backing up your files and emails, can backup collaboration tools such as Microsoft Teams. Teams is a mainstay in many organizations to collaborate on projects, especially during the pandemic. The right SaaS protection solution can protect Microsoft Teams from cyber threats, protecting conversations, calendar appointments, and public channel content.
