Ransomware and Data Protection for Google Workspace

Ensure that you can access, control, and most importantly protect the data you entrust to the cloud.

As companies increasingly move data into cloud-based applications, many IT teams think traditional best practices like data backup are unnecessary. After all, a SaaS application is always available, accessible from anywhere, and highly redundant, so why is backup needed?

Google Workspace (also known as G-Suite) and other applications are susceptible to ransomware attacks. Most strains of ransomware target both Google and Microsoft productivity apps and documents whether they are stored locally or in Sharepoint/OneDrive/Google Drive.

Our team has partnered with Dropsuite, one of the leading cloud-to-cloud backup tools; offering an all-in-one backup, archiving, restore and export solution.

Why have Backups?

Data loss due to ransomware

Some of the most high-profile ransomware attacks that have occurred recently have been in Microsoft 365 environments. Encrypting your data and preventing you from accessing your data.

When a SharePoint Online administrator deletes a site collection, all data will be placed in the Recycle Bin where it is kept for 93 days. At that time it is automatically and permanently deleted, and there is no rollback option.

When restoring older files from a SharePoint backup, the restore is targeted at the same URL. This means a restore overwrites whatever data currently exists in the site collection, and there is no rollback option.

Contacting Microsoft Support for assistance with any data loss issue can be time-consuming, and still may not result in restored files.
