"I like the ability to say, ‘No matter what happens, we can get you back online.’ Even if a car crashes into your building, an airplane lands on your office, there’s a flood or somebody steals your server, we’ve got you covered." Keith Burton, CEO, DataSHUR Corporation

"The response time was a little over a minute from the start of the encryption that triggered the alert and the response of the ransomware policy. That was extremely impressive." Casey Postma, Cybersecurity Lead at ITPartners+
