Microsoft Entra ID plays a critical role in controlling access to applications and data for many organizations, making its protection paramount. Here’s why Enterprise SaaS Backup is an excellent solution for safeguarding your Entra ID environment:
- Shared Responsibility and Data Recovery
While Microsoft ensures the infrastructure security of Entra ID, the responsibility for data recovery remains with the customer. If your Entra ID data is accidentally deleted or corrupted, Microsoft does not guarantee quick recovery. Enterprise SaaS Backup steps in by offering fast and reliable backup and restore capabilities, ensuring your data remains secure and accessible, regardless of accidental deletion, ransomware, or other threats. - Comprehensive Protection
Enterprise SaaS Backup provides two levels of protection for Entra ID. The Standard level includes essential elements like users, groups, role assignments, and administrative units. The Advanced protection offers more comprehensive coverage, safeguarding additional components such as audit logs, conditional access policies, Intune policies, and BitLocker recovery keys. This level of coverage ensures full protection of critical data within your Entra ID environment. - Immutable Backups
Your backups are immutable, meaning they cannot be altered or deleted once stored. This immutability guarantees that even in the event of a ransomware attack, your backup data remains untouchable and fully restorable. By storing data in Keepit’s independent cloud infrastructure, separated from the Entra ID environment, your business is protected from single points of failure. - Fast and Granular Recovery
Granular recovery allows you to restore individual objects such as users or groups, or recover data in bulk, ensuring business continuity with minimal disruption. The ability to recover in-place or download objects securely means you can quickly restore operations after a disaster or breach. - Streamlined Data Governance and Compliance
The platform also helps you streamline data governance by tracking all activity through audit logs and ensuring data sovereignty by storing your backups in data centers of your choice, meeting global compliance requirements like GDPR.
In conclusion, Enterprise SaaS Backup for Entra ID offers a comprehensive, secure, and easy-to-manage solution that addresses the shortcomings of Microsoft’s native capabilities, ensuring your identity infrastructure is protected against accidental loss, malicious attacks, and compliance risks.
