Did you know that over 60% of corporate data now lives in the cloud? Critical applications and their data have transitioned from customer-owned, hosted deployments to as-a-service models. From Git repositories and file storage to HR and financial applications, everything is now hosted elsewhere. In fact, the average organization has over 200 SaaS applications!
While this shift brings incredible ease of use, organizations are discovering the hard way that they’re still responsible for protecting that data.
Recognizing the Risk
Over the last few years, organizations have lost SaaS data due to human error, misconfigurations, and insider threats. Now, we see more alarming scenarios emerging, such as supply chain attacks and vendor errors.
Gartner reports: By 2028, 75% of enterprises will prioritize SaaS application backup, up significantly from just 15% in 2024.
Visualize your data estate with HYCU R-Graph™
Before protecting data, you must first understand your entire data estate.
HYCU R-Graph is a built-in visualization service providing customers a real-time, visual map of their entire data estate—from SaaS to hybrid workloads. It visualizes every app by department and instantly identifies what's unprotected and at risk. Think of it as a quick, powerful way to triage data risks and immediately start protecting vulnerable applications.
Leveraging Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, or both IDPs, R-Graph scans your applications and services. Within seconds, customers clearly see:
- A holistic view of the entire data estate
- Apps organized by department
- At-risk apps without backup, recovery or offsite storage
Visibility is a Start; Data Protection Comes Next
The biggest misconception in SaaS is believing vendors handle your data backup and recovery, that’s demonstrably false. Organizations often discover this too late. Here are the top reasons backup and recovery for SaaS applications is crucial:
- Human errors and misconfigurations
- Insider threats
- Automation failures
- Supply chain incidents (malicious or accidental)
- Murphy’s Law!
Enterprise-Class Protection for the Entire Data Estate
Once customers visualize their data estate, they can quickly use the HYCU Marketplace to protect critical applications across hybrid, cloud, and SaaS platforms. Whether Nutanix VMs, BigQuery data warehouses, or Microsoft OneDrive, HYCU provides enterprise-class data protection with intelligent simplicity.
Through HYCU R-Cloud™ (Resiliency Platform), customers effortlessly manage backups for 86+ applications, all from one view.
