Kaseya is proud to launch Datto Backup for Microsoft Entra ID, our new purpose-built disaster recovery solution. This new offering is designed to help MSPs and IT professionals protect one of the most critical components of today’s IT environments: identity and access management.
Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) has become the foundation for authentication, access control and identity protection across organizations worldwide. Yet while its importance is universally recognized, many businesses still face significant risks. Some IT teams have pieced together manual methods to handle simple situations like restoring a user after an accidental deletion, but these approaches quickly fall short in the face of larger threats. Mass accidental or malicious deletions, cyberattacks that compromise or erase identity data or even the loss of administrative access to Microsoft itself can leave organizations exposed and subject to lengthy downtime.
With Datto Backup for Microsoft Entra ID, those risks are addressed. In the event of a problem – whether it’s a single mistake or a large-scale incident – businesses can quickly restore. By making recovery fast and reliable, this new capability helps mitigate the impact of ransomware, insider threats or other disruptions that target identity infrastructure.
