World’s first free-for-life Data Protection as a Service Offering Ensures Every Company Can Protect Their Most Sensitive Mission-critical Public Cloud Data
HYCU, Inc., a pioneering enterprise BaaS company specializing in hybrid and multi-cloud data protection as a service, today announced a new offering designed to give customers an easy and effective way to protect and manage their AWS data. With this offering, customers will be able to take advantage of HYCU Protégé for AWS to gain lifetime protection of 1 TB of AWS data for free and also gain access to HYCU’s industry-leading 24x7x365 support. HYCU Protégé for AWS is a comprehensive, fully managed data protection service that provides 24×7 support, and includes monitoring of backup success with proactive alerting and enhanced ransomware protection in the event of an attack.
With more than 60 percent of organizations’ data currently stored in the public cloud[1], companies regardless of size rely on cloud infrastructure to protect their data. HYCU fundamentally believes in safety and security of data, regardless of location. Following on the successful introduction of R-score, a public service initiative designed to help organizations be better prepared to recover in the event of a ransomware attack, this new offering offers customer backup as a public service to ensure that at minimum, every organization has access to industry-leading data protection for their mission-critical AWS data. To take advantage of the offer, customers can sign up directly with HYCU.

“It comes as no surprise that there are still organizations that do not protect their data on public clouds,” said HYCU Founder and CEO Simon Taylor. “Even if a company takes advantage of the native, free options, it is incumbent on the customer to manage, protect and be able to recover in the event of an outage, human error or insidious ransomware attack. At HYCU, we know there is a better way to solve data protection needs, and we are proud to offer the world’s first free-for-life data protection service, to help companies begin to protect their AWS data.
