Continuous data protection: What you need to know
Today’s business users are more reliant on data than ever before, so any downtime or data loss can devastate an organization. Since data loss can happen at any moment, as a service provider you need to restore your clients’ business-critical data as quickly as possible.  How quickly they get back to normal depends on when you last backed up their data. Poor data protection can set them back hours, days, or perhaps weeks – severely impact their employees’ productivity and the organization’s long-term viability.

What is advanced malware protection?
While traditional malware protection relies on a classical signature-based approach, advanced malware protection utilizes a multi-layered approach that incorporates artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and behavioral detection. Behavioral detection is a technique that determines whether an entity will attack by observing its behavior. Advanced malware protection solutions also use whitelisting or allowlisting – a technique that allows approved entities – and blocklisting – a list of entities that should be blocked.

SMBs are desperate to outsource these problems, and that presents a huge opportunity for MSPs willing to step up and help.
