What it is
Backup and cyber protection — antivirus, EDR, anti-ransomware and vulnerability management — come fused behind one console. It protects servers, workstations, VMs and Microsoft 365, with fast recovery and DR ready to go.
Problems it closes
- You’d rather run backup and endpoint security from one agent than stitch two products together.
- Ransomware recovery wants clean backups and active anti-ransomware together, not one on its own.
- A mixed fleet — servers, laptops, VMs, Microsoft 365 — needs a single protection console.
How administrators run it
- Install one agent that handles backup, anti-malware and patching.
- Restore whole machines onto different hardware or into the cloud for DR.
- Drive protection of workstations, servers, VMs and M365 from the web console.
Strengths & trade-offs
Strengths
- Backup, security and patching in a single product.
- Flexible targets — local, cloud or hybrid.
- Broad OS and workload coverage.
Trade-offs
- Proprietary, priced per workload.
- The all-in-one scope is more than a pure-backup shop needs.
Common questions
Is it antivirus or backup?
Both. It joins data protection (backup/recovery) with cyber protection (anti-malware, EDR, anti-ransomware, patching).
Can it do bare-metal recovery?
Yes, including restore onto dissimilar hardware or to a cloud instance.
