4 reasons to add an extra security layer to Microsoft Teams

One in three users experience data loss in cloud applications like Microsoft Office 365 and Google G Suite.

With more and more businesses now using the Microsoft Office 365 suite of tools, it’s more and more vital to ensure that your data is adequately backed up to avoid accidental loss, or the risk of being held to ransom for your own data.

To this end, we’ve put together 4 reasons to back up your Office 365 and Teams data to the cloud, and how to go about doing it. You can also check out this short video to see Datto’s SaaS Protection solution in action.

1) User error

Limit liability and control your data.

One in three users have experienced data loss in the cloud. The most common cause: users simply deleting files or emails by accident. Datto SaaS Protection unlinks critical business information from the user who created it and hands control back to the MSP and small business owner.

2) Malicious attacks

Protect your data and ensure damage control

Internal threats and external attacks are on the rise. Small businesses are at risk without an independent backup: they can lose data, lose time, and therefore, lose revenue. Work confidently knowing that even malicious attacks can be “undone” when a prior backup of cloud data is restored.

3) Meet compliance needs

Ensure rigorous data security

Public companies, healthcare providers, financial organizations, and others with strict regulations must ensure that data is encrypted and protected in transit and at rest. SaaS Protection’s SOC 2 Type II compliance ensures that rigorous standards for data security are met.

4) User management

User Management

Easily manage all clients from one user-friendly portal and save them money by automatically holding inactive users’ data after their Office 365 license is deleted. Easily move data from one user to another when clients’ employees leave the company. And one-click restore means MSPs can easily and quickly identify and recover individual items or entire folders to protect their clients from downtime.

Is your Microsoft Teams adequately backed up?

One in three users experience data loss in cloud applications like Microsoft Office 365 and Google G Suite. And this isn’t all from malicious hacks or outsider attacks – many instances of data loss can simply be innocent, accidental overwrites of files by users trying to go about their daily tasks.

That said, the COVID-19 crisis has also unfortunately provided the perfect environment for malicious ransomware attacks, so companies need to be extremely vigilant with more and more users working remotely.

With more and more businesses now using the Microsoft Office 365 suite of tools, it’s more and more vital to ensure that your data is adequately backed up to avoid accidental loss, or the risk of being held to ransom for your own data.
