HYCU, Inc., a pioneering
enterprise SaaS company specializing in on-premises and public cloud data
backup and recovery as a service, announced new ransomware assessment and
recovery services for partners. In addition, HYCU rolled out a new
certification program for MSPs, MSSPs, and CSPs, based on R-Score, to help
partners deliver ransomware recovery readiness assessments to provide
actionable activities to alleviate and reduce the risk associated with
escalating ransomware attacks. The new ransomware services and certification
program aligns with the latest enhancements to HYCU Protégé as part of a
foundation for ransomware protection and recovery.
"It has become an all too tired refrain, it's
not a matter of ‘if' a ransomware attack will occur, but ‘when,'" said Colum
O'Donovan, Senior Director, Global Cloud Alliances. "Today, when management
wonders if they will be able to recover from a ransomware attack, there is
typically no easy way to get a quick answer. When management asks their IT
teams, they typically receive a long list of items the IT team is doing to
protect their backups, but it still does not give them a simple assurance as to
how safe they are. The power of R-Score is now organizations have a simple
metric to track and get the IT teams completely aligned to protect and recover
in the inevitable event of an attack. The new ransomware readiness assessment
services and certification program provide our partners with a powerful
resource to help their customers prevent and recover in the event of an attack."
With the introduction of the CRN 5-Star PACE (Partners Accelerating Cloud Environments)
Global Partner Program, HYCU laid the foundation for the new
ransomware assessment and recovery services for partners. The new certification
program has been completed by several partners including Kloud Data, 1st Basis and
Incentro.
The newest Ransomware Assessment Services and Certification
program provides HYCU partners with a specialized Consultative version of
R-Score. Partners then have the ability to do a complete assessment of their
customers' preparedness to recover from a Ransomware event when one happens. In
addition to the assessment, partners' customers also receive recommendations to
increase their score. As part of the launch of the new services, in addition to
comprehensive training and support, HYCU provides certification for partners to
deliver the assessment and ransomware readiness services to their customers.
"The HYCU Ransomware
Assessment and Certification Program comes at an opportune moment in time for
us at KloudData," said Prashant Parekh, CEO, KloudData. "As our
customers turn to us to secure and protect their environments from the rise of
the scourge of ransomware, being able to identify and assess where each stands
in a measurable and concrete way is critically important. The new assessment
and certification program does just that and provides a blueprint of what
actions need to be taken immediately in order to be best prepared to prevent
and recover from an inevitable attack."
