Veritas Extends Cloud Capabilities Across Its Platform

Acquires HubStor to expand enterprise SaaS data protection in the cloud

SINGAPORE, Jan. 27, 2021Veritas Technologies, a global leader in data protection, availability and insights, is today announcing major updates to its Enterprise Data Services Platform to provide customers with a single platform for all of their cloud environment use cases. Today’s advancements include the acquisition of HubStor to enable powerful enterprise Backup as a Service capabilities. Veritas is also launching NetBackup™ 9 with significant new features that simplify operations and provide customers with flexibility and choice for deployment across edge, core and cloud.

Greg Hughes, CEO of Veritas, said: "Today, more enterprises than ever rely on cloud services such as Microsoft 365, Slack and Box. But too few companies realise that they are responsible for implementing their own data protection policies for SaaS applications.  Adding HubStor to the Veritas portfolio allows customers to protect all their data, now including SaaS data, from a single platform, whether in the cloud, in the data centre or at the edge."

With today’s announcements, Veritas is further cementing its position as the leader in data protection, availability and insights across the multi-cloud. Its Enterprise Data Services Platform supports over 800 different data sources, over 100 different operating systems, more than 1,400 storage targets, and more than 60 different cloud platforms. 

Acquisition of HubStor

The acquisition of HubStor enables expanded protection for a variety of SaaS-based applications, including Microsoft 365, Slack, Box and Google Workspace. HubStor is built on a modern API-first architecture that provides a clear path for integration with the unified Enterprise Data Services Platform to simplify operations and reduce risk as part of a holistic data protection strategy.

HubStor has been developed to overcome some of the biggest barriers to cloud data protection faced by enterprises. It is designed from the ground up to meet the high performance and scalability demands needed to protect, manage and restore enterprise data sets. The integration of HubStor technology into the Veritas portfolio will provide customers with a SaaS backup solution that lets them:

  • Customise and tailor configurations to a highly granular level – even down to individual items.
  • Recover data through a simplified self-service portal for end-users.
  • Comply with data sovereignty requirements with access to data centre locations globally.
  • Discover insights on their backup environment through dashboards and reporting. 

HubStor’s technology harnesses the power of Microsoft Azure, giving customers access to the Azure platform’s global footprint for data sovereignty and replication needs, the ability to leverage other Azure services, and the option to use their own Azure subscription.

Chris Barry, Vice President, WW Enterprise Commercial & Strategy, Microsoft, said: "Veritas has long partnered with Microsoft to help customers manage and protect their most important data in the cloud. HubStor’s acquisition and integration with Veritas takes full advantage of a SaaS solution built on the Azure platform and delivers a backup as a service solution to customers across the globe that benefits from the scale, security, reliability and flexibility that Azure provides."

Michelle Bailey, Group Vice President, General Manager and IDC Research Fellow, said: "Businesses everywhere are embracing a multi-cloud strategy, which includes a greater reliance on SaaS-based services. Enterprises are becoming increasingly aware that while hybrid-cloud architectures can deliver huge benefits, they can also introduce complexity and risk if they’re not properly protected. We are already starting to see the consequences of ransomware attacks or compliance breaches where there is a gap in a transforming cloud environment and insufficient protection, availability or analytics. A standardised, consistent architecture across the data estate is critical to simplify operations and lower overall business risk. 

For additional information about today’s announcements, please join the Veritas Conquer Every Cloud virtual conference on February 17 – 18.

Datto Named to Ransomware Task Force by Institute for Security and Technology

Representing MSPs, Datto joins Microsoft, Rapid7, Citrix, and other global leaders to combat growing cyber threats

SINGAPORE, Jan. 26, 2021 — Datto Holding Corp. ("Datto"), (NYSE:MSP), the leading global provider of cloud-based software and technology solutions purpose-built for delivery by managed service providers (MSPs), today announced it was invited by the Institute for Security and Technology to join its Multi-Sector Ransomware Task Force. As a founding member, Datto joins other world-renowned experts in the fight against cybercrime and will represent the MSP community, focusing on the interests and needs of small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs).

"Cybercriminals learn from each others’ attacks by sharing information and continuously evolving their tradecraft," said Ryan Weeks, CISO at Datto. "All organizations – governments, enterprises, and SMBs – need to approach the serious threat of cyberattacks with the same collaborative concept. Working in silos against these sophisticated attackers is no longer an option. Threat actors have built successful businesses exploiting the fragile cyber defenses and recovery practices at many organizations. Only by working together across industries and sectors can we hope to make progress against these threat actors."

Cyberthreats, particularly ransomware attacks, are a growing concern to organizations across industries and the globe. The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting widespread shift to remote work, combined with the adaptability and sophistication of attacks created a perfect storm for a wide array of threat actors. In fact, the FBI claimed that cyberattacks have increased by more than 400% since the start of the pandemic¹.

"Security has been at the heart of Datto’s ethos from the start, both culturally and built into our technology. But we have learned that a focus on security is a lifetime journey and requires constant attention and investment. Entities must continuously raise their defenses and stay vigilant to escalating threats," said Tim Weller, CEO of Datto. "For these reasons, we are humbled to be a founding member of the Ransomware Task Force and to work alongside some of the brightest minds in arenas like policy making, law enforcement, and cyber insurance. We look forward to the conversations ahead, the policies we will influence, and to making cyber resilience more accessible to the MSP community."

MSPs are on the frontlines of a cyber war, protecting both their own infrastructure and the IT systems of the SMB customers they serve from threats such as ransomware. According to Datto’s 2020 Global Ransomware Report, ransomware remains the most common cyber threat to SMBs, with 60% of MSPs reporting their SMB clients were hit in the first half of 2020. As part of the Ransomware Task Force, Datto will help educate and empower SMBs to make cyber resilience a top priority in 2021. Only by taking the necessary precautions can SMBs avoid the costly downtime and disruptions that occur in the aftermath of an attack.

Contrast Security Empowers Zurich to Secure Its Digital Transformation Efforts

LOS ALTOS, Calif., Jan. 22, 2021 — Contrast Security, the leading developer-centric application security software company, today announced Zurich North America Insurance (Zurich), one of the largest providers of insurance solutions and services, uses Contrast Security to secure applications in development that are critical linchpins in its digital transformation strategy. The collaboration provides Zurich software developers needed tools for writing secure code faster and collaborating with application security peers to reduce application risk. 

"Protecting the information of our customers, our third-party collaborators, and our own systems is a top priority for Zurich North America," said Adam Page, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at Zurich North America. "Our applications enable us to deliver differentiated experiences, and our collaboration with Contrast empowers us to shift left by identifying software code issues earlier in the pipeline and in real time with easy-to-follow results."

The applications secured by Contrast Security are used by Zurich North America customers and its employees. Contrast helps Zurich’s development team to address the challenges of today’s advanced threat landscape in real time by automating and streamlining application security. "Contrast takes an innovative approach to application security that enables our developers to work smarter and focus on threats that pose the greatest risk," said Esther Speckhart, the Business Information Security Officer (BISO) at Zurich.

"The early adoption of Contrast Security by Zurich North America is the first step in what will soon be a larger rollout across Zurich as part of our ongoing digital transformation," said Paige Adams, Zurich’s Global Chief Information Security Officer. "Digital transformation has been and continues to be the primary goal for Zurich as we move forward into the new year."

"Prominent insurance providers like Zurich are aggressively driving digital innovation to improve customer experiences and accelerate business growth," said Surag Patel, Chief Strategy Officer at Contrast Security. "Therefore, with substantially more software being created at accelerated speeds and the increasing focus of malicious attackers on the software, the risk of software vulnerabilities in applications has never been greater. Yet, legacy application security approaches simply are unable to keep pace with the speed and agility demanded by modern software development. Contrast transforms application security by using an automated approach via instrumentation to embed security observability into the software development process. This virtually eliminates false positives while empowering developers to detect and remediate vulnerabilities without specialized application security skills."

About Contrast Security

Following the same tradition with more zeal than last year, PureVPN has recently revealed its Christmas VPN deal, which is no less than a perfect present for every security and privacy-conscious or entertainment-seeking VPN fan.

PureVPN’s Xmas gift packs all its premium services and features at a whopping 86% off. The delightful discount is tagged to PureVPN’s most demanded 5-year plan. The actual price of the 5-year plan is $657, but with an 86% discount attached to it, users pay only $89, which breaks up at $1.48 per month.

PureVPN’s Christmas-exclusive VPN deal also extends to users who are interested in short-term yearly plans. The $131.4 1-year plan is now available at 62% off, which sets the discounted price at $49.95 total cost, a $4.16 monthly breakdown.

This rocking Christmas discount also comes as a token of appreciation to users who have helped PureVPN to make great headlines throughout 2020. PureVPN kicked off the year by putting its no-log claims to test by undergoing not one, but two independently led audits. The former one by a leading California based security systems auditor- Altius IT, and the latter by KPMG: one of the Big Four professional auditing services in the world. 

Moreover, PureVPN has upgraded its network infrastructure by adding more servers, taking the count up to 6,500+ VPN servers. Additionally, users who could use PureVPN on up to 5 devices only can now connect up to 10 devices with one account.

By signing up for the Christmas-exclusive VPN offer by PureVPN, users can enjoy all these perks and future upgrades seamlessly on their preferred devices. However, this is a limited-time offer, which is why PureVPN urges VPN users globally to get this deal before time runs out.
