Why Just Being in the Cloud Isn’t Enough to Protect Your Client’s Email
Despite the many advances in digital communication, email still reigns supreme as the bedrock of most business interactions. Although numerous communication platforms like Microsoft Teams and Slack have grown in importance, email remains the most popular and efficient way to communicate for your SMB customers.
There's good reason for this of course - email chains and archives allow us to easily organise and keep track of the back-and-forth flow of conversation. Headers and subjects allow for quickly searchable keywords, and important document attachments can be easily retrieved through a cursory examination of the inbox.
It’s your responsibility to keep up to speed with the latest threats, to wade through the sea of stats, opinions, materials and demos for new tech that the vendors (and distributors like us!) send your way, and to make the important decisions on behalf of your clients.
You've no doubt been doing this for years, but recently there's been a concerning plot twist.
The mailboxes of your customers are rapidly growing treasure troves of useful, important and sensitive information, and that will continue to be the case for years to come.
This makes them ticking time bombs if not cared for in the right way.
There'll be continued support for Exclaimer Mail Archiver up to September 30, 2022, but if your customers aren't yet ready to give up the many benefits of an independent email archiving solution, you'll need to be discussing migration to a better alternative.
If you're working with customers using BackupAssist to protect their on-premise Exchange installations, you'll be pleased to know BackupAssist have now improved their Microsoft Exchange Granular Restore module which includes support for Exchange 2019 up to CU9 and 2016 up to CU20.
