FEATURE : NETWORK SECURITY

WE NEEDED THE ABILITY TO RESTORE CRITICAL DATA ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME .

What challenges were you looking to address ahead of selecting the Acronis solution ?
We were looking for a more robust data protection tool so that our remote users could survive any incident that might impact productivity . From ransomware , laptop theft , damage , etc we needed the ability to restore critical data anywhere in the world in a short period of time .
In addition , we were looking for a product that could evolve as our cybersecurity needs continued to evolve .
Lastly , we were ideally looking for a product that was relatively easy to install and administer without having to expand our cybersecurity team .
How are you using Acronis technology currently – what phase of the project are you at ?
While we started with Acronis addressing the needs of remote workers , we quickly expanded our scope to provide data protection across the entire organization . In addition , we began leveraging the Acronis Cyber Protect agent as an additional layer of threat intelligence and endpoint security .
Currently , we are partnering with the Acronis engineering team on other use cases such as replicating our video library of content into the Acronis cloud to provide protection for another key corporate asset .
