“Hitting the one million user mark shows that the growth in the adoption of Cove for this use case is evidence that mindsets are changing, and managed services providers and internal IT teams are looking for straightforward, reliable solutions to protect against SaaS data loss.”
While application providers such as Microsoft are focused on service availability and uptime, it is important to remember that data stored in Microsoft 365 remains the responsibility of the business and its managed IT service provider, as noted in the Microsoft service agreement. There are many ways to lose data, including accidental or malicious deletion, as well as malware or ransomware, and human error. Some organizations do not understand this shared responsibility, and may fail to appreciate the potential risk of skipping backups. These trends reinforce the need for a dedicated solution to protect Microsoft 365 data using a platform like Cove Data Protection for Microsoft 365.
“We’ve observed a shift in mindset on the true risk of data loss with SaaS applications like Microsoft 365 – from optional to mandatory,” said Stefan Voss, vice president of product management, Cove Data Protection. “Hitting the one million user mark shows that the growth in the adoption of Cove for this use case is evidence that mindsets are changing, and managed services providers and internal IT teams are looking for straightforward, reliable solutions to protect against SaaS data loss.”
