- The comprehensive suite now backs up Microsoft
Planner
- The new and upgraded functionality forms part of 365 Total
Backup and 365 Total Protection Plans 3 and 4
- The robust new features are provided at no additional
cost
LONDON, Aug. 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Hornetsecurity, a global leader in
cybersecurity, today announced the release of an enhanced version
of its 365 Total Backup solution for Microsoft 365, now including
comprehensive backup and recovery support for Microsoft Planner.
This upgrade extends Hornetsecurity's robust data protection suite,
ensuring critical business data is securely backed up and
recoverable.
This enhancement follows the roll-out of Microsoft's Planner
function to manage tasks and projects. The free update from
Hornetsecurity is available for customers on both its 365 Total
Backup products and 365 Total Protection (Plans 3 and 4). The
broader scope of protection supports GDPR compliance and adds to
the existing backup and recovery functionality across essential
M365 applications, including Mailbox, OneDrive, SharePoint, and
Teams.
Empowering administrators via flexible restore
options
A key feature of this upgrade is the granular restore option,
which empowers administrators to choose multiple restore points. It
provides a visual representation of the plan and its evolution
within selected timestamps, allowing users to restore specific
tasks with ease. This mirrors that of Microsoft Planner for
enhanced usability.
Additionally, the full restore function allows administrators to
restore all plans associated with one or more Microsoft 365 Groups
to the same group, a different group, or a zip archive. If an
organisation undergoes restructuring, relevant plans can be
restored to new groups seamlessly. Restoring to a zip archive
allows for easy offline review and long-term archiving. Crucially,
disaster recovery can also be performed in the event of a complete
loss of plans and boards from Microsoft Planner, minimising
downtime and data loss.
New Four-Eye Approval for greater security and
accountability
The latest release also introduces a new 'Four-Eye Approval'
feature. This tackles the risk posed by cybercriminals or rogue
administrators who can delete all backup data or change important
settings for M365 organisations, potentially causing significant
damage to businesses. This enhancement also addresses concerns
where administrators might accidentally delete backup data or alter
critical settings related to data retention without proper
oversight.
Four-Eye Approval enables a second approval step for any data
deletion or changes to retention settings. This functionality is
available both during the initial onboarding process and after a
tenant has been established. Administrators will be able to specify
whether all administrators can approve deletion requests or if only
designated administrators are permitted to do so. This measure
ensures an additional level of security and accountability in
managing data retention policies.
Daniel Hofmann, CEO of
Hornetsecurity, commented:
"Our commitment to providing unparalleled data protection
solutions is demonstrated through our continuous enhancements to
365 Total Backup and our 365 Total Protection suite. By
incorporating support for the increasingly popular Microsoft
Planner and introducing the 'Four-Eye Approval' feature, we are
reinforcing the security and reliability we offer our customers and
anticipating their needs. These updates ensure that businesses can
manage their data across Microsoft 365 with greater confidence and
resilience, safeguarding against both accidental and malicious data
loss."
