Microsoft Office 365 Backup Closes Data Protection Gaps
Office 365 backup, archiving and recovery is a critical element in any business data protection plan. That’s because it’s very easy to have Office 365 data accidentally deleted, held hostage by ransomware, or corrupted by disgruntled employees. That leaves a data protection gap not covered by Office 365.
Additionally, Office 365 only saves deleted emails in the recycle bin for up to 30 days — and many system administrators use the recycle bin as a temporary data backup repository.
Using the recycle bin as a temporary backup repository is an extremely risky way to safeguard mission critical company data. That’s because a recycle bin doesn’t have the same security features as a SaaS backup solution, exposing your Office 365 data to ongoing threats.
Three myths of O365 backup:
Office 365 is backed up already – it’s in the cloud! (no, not entirely)
Firms don’t ask for it – because they don’t know the pitfalls (education is key)
I can quickly restore with Microsoft – (no you can’t)

The Cost of Lost Data is Staggering
According to a study by IBM and the Ponemon Institute the cost of lost data is staggering. Here are just a few topline findings from the study that should sober anyone responsible for data protection:
$3.62 million: average total cost of a data breach
$141: average cost per lost or stolen records
27.7%: likelihood of a recurring data breach over the next 2 years
2.1%: increase in the likelihood of a recurring material data breach

Protecting Office 365 from Attack
According to Jason Rogers, Microsoft’s lead program manager for antimalware and advanced threat detection for Office 365, Microsoft saw malware attempts targeted at Office 365 increase over 600% in 2017, a statistic that is poised to increase in the years to come.
Office 365 can never be made “hack-free,” however, data loss events can be mitigated. A defense strategy must incorporate multiple Office 365 data defense tactics such as:
- Utilizing various types of security software
- Using two-factor authentication
- Adding user awareness training
- Engaging continuous monitoring
- Automating backup & recovery
