    Balance threat and risk with productivity

    Out of necessity, your business changed overnight. New technologies - from collaboration platforms to meeting applications - were adopted, often without full consideration of security and compliance risks.

    Microsoft Teams is the world’s fastest growing business application ever, making it one of the largest security and compliance threats today. Like email, Teams content provides another channel for cyber deception, malicious attacks, and legal or regulatory exposure. The rapid adoption of MSFT Teams can mean lack of visibility and control for IT, security, and compliance leaders. A simplified way to manage and protect the massive volumes of data being created is essential.

    Organizations that have incorporated MS Teams into their workforce must be able to capture and secure all MS Teams data in a legally defensible manner when litigation is anticipated and be able to quickly respond to e-discovery requests. Failure to do so can result in loss of case and fines.

    How can Archive For Microsoft Teams be deployed?

    The need to backup Teams vs. the need to archive

    The backup process was designed for disaster recovery, but data can be lost between backup cycles (typically once per day). Archiving, on the other hand, stores files for long-term storage and can be used for business, legal, and regulatory reasons. The archive, stored in its native format, is easier to search and act upon than a backup.
