Assured Data Protection Unveils Assured Backup with BackBox

Assured Data Protection, a leader in managed data protection and disaster recovery, announces the introduction of the Assured Backup with BackBox—a comprehensive solution to strengthen enterprise cyber resilience. This new service answers the critical need for a robust backup strategy specifically geared towards safeguarding the configurations of network and security devices.

A Game-Changer in Operational Resilience

In today's digital age, organizations depend heavily on their network-connected devices. However, many lack a systematic approach to ensure their recoverability during cyber attacks, outages, or hardware failures. Tony Giannini, the Vice President of Global Innovation at Assured Data Protection, emphasized this gap, highlighting the lengthy processes involved in device replacement, which can consume hours and escalate costs during emergencies.

By partnering with BackBox, a renowned provider of network cyber resilience solutions, Assured Backup enables end-to-end coverage for over 5,000 device types. The managed service automates the backup process, applies version control, and secures configuration files in a remote, encrypted repository. This ensures not only safety but also allows users to restore configurations swiftly, significantly reducing downtime.

Addressing Enterprise Pain Points

The introduction of Assured Backup with BackBox tackles key challenges in enterprise resilience strategies:

1. Automation of Protection: With support for thousands of device types, the service automates the backup process, eliminating manual errors and inconsistencies.
2. Secure Off-Site Storage: Configuration versions are securely stored off-site, protecting them from local vulnerabilities.
3. Rapid Device Restoration: In the event of failures, devices can be restored to their last known “good” state in minutes, compared to standard hours or days.
4. Reduction of Consulting Costs: By minimizing the need for expensive consultations and rebuilds, businesses can save significant resources during recovery periods.

According to Rekha Shenoy, CEO of BackBox, organizations often excel at data backup but exhibit weaknesses in managing the configurations that keep their networks operational. This service provides a straightforward, cost-effective means to enhance their network and security infrastructure resilience.

Expanding Cyber Resilience Capability

This new service is not just an addition to Assured's offerings; it marks a significant extension of its cyber resilience platform. By integrating this solution with existing Rubrik backup technologies and disaster recovery services, Assured now provides comprehensive protective measures from core data to intricate network infrastructures.

Moreover, the service opens new channels for partnerships with Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and technology service firms eager to improve their clients' network resilience. Giannini notes that such partnerships will create fresh opportunities for growth and service enhancement in an increasingly digital landscape.
