Cyber-attack is inevitable. Data loss need not be.

As a Product Director at Arctera, I’m especially excited about the transformative impact of Backup Exec in helping organizations combat critical data threats, with ransomware standing out as one of the most pervasive challenges. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in particular often face challenges such as limited resources and growing complexity, making it difficult to safeguard critical information. This is where Backup Exec comes in - offering a reliable, simple, and cost-effective solution to protect against data loss resulting from ransomware, malware and insider attacks, irrespective of where that data lives – on-premises in physical and virtual infrastructures, in cloud data platforms or in Microsoft 365.
