The truth is that enterprises are facing new forms of threats which include ransomware, malware and rogue employees. The answer to these threats is a cloud native approach which also scales as the enterprise grow. It is here that Azure backup enters the picture. .

Databytes Consulting Tech, headquartered in the tech nerve centre of Bengaluru with a strategic branch office in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad has been helping enterprises make this transformation effortlessly. Sprawling IT parks in Bengaluru and manufacturing clusters in Pune to automotive giants in Chennai are now realising that that in this era of cloud the backup process must be as dynamic as the production environment.

Why Azure Backup is the Non-Negotiable Security Layer

Every high rise building worth its name requires a solid foundation. Similarly no enterprise will run its critical workloads on Azure without a solid backup process. Azure backup is not just about copy pasting data but a sophisticated, policy-driven service designed to protect your data where it is located. It could be on-premises servers, Azure Virtual Machines, or even Azure Files. It completely negates the infrastructure woes. It also negates the worry of managing storage arrays in cramped space or guessing if the tape worked flawlessly in a data centre.

At the heart of the Azure backup is the Recovery Services vault which is a unified command node which defines policy pertaining to how long to keep data, how often to snapshot, when to archive and the service executes. The process is simple but under its hood it boasts the scalability of the Azure cloud to provide virtually unlimited storage, coupled with built-in encryption. The encrypted data is a useless blob to any unauthorized hacker.

Ransomware Defense and Immutable Vaults

The modus operandi of the modern hacker has undergone a massive change. Today ransomware are targeting the enterprise’s backup and if they manage to encrypt it, they will own it. Azure Backup covers this vital chink in the security armour with immutable vaults. This feature when activated ensures that the data is ‘write once, read many (WORM)’ mode.

No one including the admin can delete or modify the data for a specified retention period. It is an impenetrable wall of defence which no hacker can break. This ensures that even if there is a breach by a rogue employee the recovery point remains untouchable. This is of critical importance to enterprises associated with the Banking and financial sector. Databytes Consulting Tech has partnered clients in the BFSI sector in Mumbai and tech startups in Bengaluru to enforce immutable policies

The job does not end here. A robust security protocol will also include 24/7 monitoring of threats and regular drills to test the efficiency of the recovery process. A backup which fails to restore operations of the system after a disaster is of no use and is digital garbage.

Operational Simplicity for Hybrid Workloads

Enterprises are fast adopting the hybrid model of work with databases running either on premise in an office in Bengaluru or on a cloud platform. It is an ordeal to manage such a disparate environment. Azure Backup provides numerous benefits which include-

• A unified process
• Backups can be executed on SQL Server, SAP HANA, and file shares from a single console
• Uses the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS) agent or the Azure Backup Server for multifaceted workloads
• Azure Backup uses encryption at rest and in transit
• Employs AES-256, and the keys are managed by Microsoft or yourself via Key Vault
