Why the Education Sector needs more than Office 365 for Data Backup and Recovery

In the evolving landscape of public cloud-based learning, protecting your data within Microsoft Office 365 environments has never been more crucial.

With 47% of senior IT leaders in schools experiencing ransomware threats, the necessity for robust ransomware protection for schools becomes evident.

What’s more, a surprising 65% of educational organisations depend solely on Office 365's inbuilt functionalities for data resilience, which may not suffice for comprehensive cyber resilience in education, nor compliance and data governance.

Your Action Plan:

Microsoft's own guidance recommends external third-party backup services to strengthen Office 365 backup solutions. Microsoft do not backup your data for you. You have to do it yourself.
