In a significant move forward for enterprise data protection, HYCU is proud to announce the introduction of support for Microsoft Entra ID in the award-winning HYCU R-Cloud™ platform, marking a milestone in Identity and Access Management (IAM) protection. HYCU for Microsoft Entra ID is an innovative solution that addresses a critical gap in data protection strategies for Microsoft's widely adopted IAM solution, Microsoft Entra ID, formerly known as Azure AD.
As organizations increasingly rely on digital infrastructure, the importance of robust IAM systems cannot be overstated. Microsoft Entra ID, with a growing number of monthly active users, 610 million as of last year, has become the cornerstone of identity management for businesses worldwide. However, this widespread adoption has also made it a prime target for cybercriminals and vulnerable to simple human error.
HYCU's latest offering provides automated, policy-driven backups and rapid, granular item-level recovery for both Microsoft Entra ID configurations and data. This enterprise-class, native backup and recovery support offers organizations peace of mind and a complete solution for their IAM protection needs to include Okta and AWS IAM.
Key features of HYCU R-Cloud support for Microsoft Entra ID
1. Autopilot backups with 'backup assurance', providing 24/7 protection with complete logging and notifications.
2. Ransomware-proof copies stored in customer-controlled, immutable cloud storage.
3. Instant visualization of the entire data estate, exposing unprotected applications and third-party risks.
4. Unified protection and recovery across Microsoft Entra ID and Okta (Workforce Identity Cloud and Customer Identity Cloud) along with AWS IAM.
5. Additional protection and restore of Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), Amazon Route 53, AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF), AWS Parameter Store, Amazon Key Management Services (KMS).
The timing of this release is particularly relevant, as a recent State of SaaS Resilience Report revealed that a significant number of IT decision-makers would face meaningful impacts if their Microsoft Entra ID, SSO, and IAM data suddenly became unavailable due to disruptions, errors, or cyberattacks.
As Simon Taylor, Founder and CEO of HYCU, shared the following on the significance of this release, "Microsoft Entra ID holds the keys to an organization's digital kingdom. Our solution ensures that these mission-critical configurations are always protected, allowing IT teams to confidently manage their environment and quickly recover from any incident."
This latest innovation builds on HYCU's recent recognition as a Visionary in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Backup and Recovery Software Solutions. It further solidifies the company's position as a leader in multi-cloud and SaaS data protection.
HYCU R-Cloud support for Microsoft Entra ID is available on the HYCU R-Cloud Marketplace, adding to the company's impressive roster of more than 80 supported applications and cloud services. This expansion makes HYCU the #1 SaaS data protection platform for users requiring rapid restore, protection, and complete control over their data across various SaaS applications.
As organizations continue to navigate the complex landscape of digital identity management beyond just Microsoft Entra ID but Okta and AWS IAM as well, solutions like HYCU will play a crucial role in ensuring business continuity and enhancing overall security posture. By providing a comprehensive, easy-to-use solution for backing up and recovering critical IAM data, HYCU is empowering businesses to face the challenges of the digital age with confidence.
