HYCU at BoxWorks: Key Takeaways on Why Box Data Protection Matters

1. Elevated Interest in Data Backup and Recovery

At the HYCU booth, attendees expressed interest in a solution that ensures their data remains secure, meets compliance requirements, and is easily recoverable. Many Box users are eager for data protection solutions beyond basic storage and that provide robust data backup and recovery features.

2. Top Reasons Attendees Found HYCU Compelling

The visitors to our booth shared three core reasons for their interest in Box data protection:

1. Enhanced Security: Many expressed concerns over increasing cyber threats, both external attacks and insider threats. HYCU’s solution offers secure ransomware recovery from WORM-enabled backups. This proven approach is a significant way to guarantee access to data in the event of an attack.  

2. Seamless Integration: HYCU's solution natively integrates with Box, offering users a streamlined experience without disrupting workflows.

3. Enhanced Recoverability: HYCU allows you to recover your business-critical data back into Box, or outside of Box in case the Box service is down. Allowing you to continue business as usual.

4. Compliance Assurance: Organizations must meet strict data compliance standards. HYCU’s features simplify meeting these requirements, which was a top priority for attendees. With the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), NIS2, and a new wave of backup savvy regulations, it’s more critical than ever to have a strategy in place.  

Improved Data Security Features for Box

The team highlighted one of the most exciting announcements leading into BoxWorks with  HYCU’s introduction of new data protection capabilities for Box users, aimed at reducing threats to data on Box Intelligent Content Management Platform. This allows users to protect their data against ransomware and accidental deletions confidently.

Automated, Intelligent Backup and Recovery

HYCU also showcased enhancements to its intelligent data recovery features. This upgrade enables Box users to recover folders and files in one click, an essential feature for minimizing downtime and maintaining productivity from any threat.  

Expanding Compatibility with Leading Services

In addition to Box, HYCU’s platform supports a broad range of popular cloud services, including protection for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Jira, GitHub, GitLab, and dozens of collaboration and productivity applications. For users managing diverse data ecosystems, this expanded compatibility means a single, unified backup and recovery solution across the entire company technology stack.  

The Growing Need for Cloud Backup Services

With more organizations relying on cloud solutions, the demand for comprehensive cloud backup services is skyrocketing. Box, Google Drive, SharePoint, Confluence, Dropbox, and Slack users need assurance that their critical files and knowledge will be there when needed. ‍

Okta Sign-In Security and Data Access Controls

Integrating with identity platforms like Okta is another critical aspect of data security. HYCU’s solution allows organizations to leverage Okta and Microsoft Entra ID sign-in protocols to control who can access their backups, ensuring that data remains secure even in complex, multi-user environments. Additionally, HYCU protects the data and configurations inside of Okta Workforce Identity Cloud (WIC) and Microsoft Entra ID.
