New Mimecast Sync & Recover launched for Exchange, Office 365
Mimecast Limited, a leading email and data security company, has introduced Sync & Recover for Exchange and Office 365. As more organizations move email and its data to Office 365, they need to better protect this data against malicious or accidental loss. Sync & Recover offers unified management of compliance, archiving and data resilience. The new service also provides organizations with protection against downtime in the event of a ransomware or other malware attacks, while cloud-based efficiency can quickly restore corrupted or lost email data.
Sync & Recover enhances the data protection capabilities of Microsoft Exchange Online and Office 365 by leveraging Mimecast archive data to provide intuitive point-and-click recovery of email data in the event of accidental loss, malicious attacks or technical failure.
Organizations can manage compliance archiving and data resiliency from a single administration console, without the need for dedicated backup and recovery solutions. Additionally, IT admins can configure recovery and search easily, to recover individual items, entiremailboxes or folders. Sync & Recover, in conjunction with Targeted Threat Protection (TTP) and Mimecast Continuity services, allows organizations to combat ransomware and other email-borne malware attacks on Exchange server data.
“With adoption of Microsoft Office 365 steadily rising, organizations have more to worry about than just the impact in the event of an outage. While an outage could take an organization offline for a couple of hours, malicious or accidental data loss could have even bigger consequences — some that companies can’t recover from,” said Andrew Smith, senior research analyst at IDC. “Organizations must ensure their data governance and management strategy includes a combination of archiving, backup, and data protection capabilities, so they have the appropriate tools in any recovery situation — whether that be the aftermath of a ransomware attack or if an employee accidentally deletes an email file.”
Glenn Brown, senior product manager at Mimecast, said: “To strengthen their cyber resilience strategy, organizations need to ensure they have a backup-andrecovery capability to help protect email data and maintain business continuity, in case of an incident resulting in data loss.
He added: “Sync & Recover for Exchange and Office 365 offers organizations a simple, streamlined way to recover deleted or corrupted email, calendar and contact information by leveraging archive data.”
