Can your SMB clients afford ransomware protection?
There was a time when SMBs were not a priority target for cybercriminals. But today, with cybercriminals using AI, ML and automation, the move to remote work and the growth of endpoints, cybercriminals are targeting SMBs either directly or through supply-chain attacks. Sadly, SMBs have neither the budget nor staff to handle cybersecurity inhouse. But MSPs can help by offering SMBs data protection services that are affordable.

How to protect your business’s Microsoft 365 data?
As small to midmarket businesses increasingly rely on Microsoft 365 to digitize their operations, the responsibility of protecting that data falls on their IT operations (ITOps) professionals. These employees must take action to protect their business against cyberthreats or any incidents leading to data loss. One best practice in this regard is the use of dedicated M365 third-party backup tools.

Third-party backup services are critical for Microsoft 365
In the event of a ransomware attack, Microsoft can bulk-restore your mailbox going back two weeks, but you will lose all work in the interim and cannot restore individual resources lost due to accidental deletion. It is therefore essential that businesses consider implementing a third-party M365 backup tool to provide additional data protection layers and to back up data to secure off-site locations.
