Two new ways backup can protect enterprise SaaS data

This article, written by GRAX CEO Joe Gaska for HelpNetSecurity, highlights the importance of backup to protect enterprise SaaS data.

There is a lot of conversation around protecting data that resides in on-premises apps, but when it comes to protecting data on SaaS apps, it’s pretty much crickets. This is because many enterprises assume SaaS vendors protect their customers’ data in those apps, which is false. The truth is that the majority of SaaS vendors do not back up your data, making it your responsibility. In this article, Joe gives advice on how you can better protect and preserve crucial SaaS app data before it’s too late.
