The SaaS backup disconnect persists and is causing data loss. One-third of IT professionals don’t do anything to protect their SaaS-resident application data as they believe it is the vendor’s responsibility. The problem with the state of SaaS data protection is that current misunderstandings can lead to data loss, with a majority of organizations reporting lost SaaS-resident data in the last year. There are many ways to lose SaaS data, whether through external events such as cyber-attacks or via internal events. Organizations using SaaS applications should consider deploying third-party solutions that meet core requirements to properly protect their data and ensure recoverability of these mission-critical workloads.
