When ransomware hits, decision makers face an impossible ultimatum: pay the ransom or lose business operations. In software development, data criticality also comes to the forefront. That’s because source code isn’t just some trivial data, but primary intellectual property and a revenue driver. Let’s see what’s exactly at stake and how you can minimize the risk of paying a ransom for your tech business.

Summary Organizations often assume their Microsoft 365 assets are fully protected by native backup tools. However, while Microsoft does offer advanced built-in backup and recovery features, relying solely on a native approach is not a substitute for an independent, enterprise-grade backup strategy. The risks of relying on a single ecosystem for backups are escalating.

GHE.com introduces migration, identity, and integration changes.– Some GitHub data may still be processed outside the chosen region.– ta residency still needs a separate backup and recovery strategy. For many enterprises, GitHub is now one of the most important parts of the DevOps ecosystem, where teams manage repositories, pull requests, issues, workflows, GitHub Actions, security alerts, project data, and other metadata that keeps software delivery moving.

Your source code sits on GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Azure DevOps, along with your pipeline configurations, issue history, permissions, and metadata. Most teams assume it’s safe there because it works. But is it? Financial institutions, technology companies, and software houses all build the systems they run on. Code stopped being a byproduct of the business and became the business. And as it turns out, it needs protection of its own.
