It’s hard to imagine a modern ITSM (IT Service Management) and general configuration management in Jira without Jira Assets. All the more so, it allows IT teams to model physical infrastructure, logical dependencies, user ownership, licensing, and even financial amortization of resources. The possible challenge is its hybrid architecture, followed by tight schema and application logic coupling. Any automation error or misconfigured import may corrupt your CMDB. Forget about hypothetical situations.

Statistics suggest that over 3 million companies are using Microsoft 365 as their office productivity tool. This is almost 30% of the market share. Such a reliance on a vast platform like Microsoft 365 requires appropriate security measures. These can range from conditional access policies, strong access controls, authentication mechanisms, and monitoring capabilities to complete backup and disaster recovery solutions in place.

No principle is more frequently praised yet ignored than the principle of least privilege in cybersecurity. It’s the equivalent of locking your server room but handing everyone the master key “just in case.” Considering the current threat landscape, which is rife with credential leaks, ransomware, insider incidents, and careless automation, complacency is not only costly but also dangerous. And above all, reckless.

Microsoft operates under the Shared Responsibility Model. This means that certain areas of security tasks are your duties, as a customer, and some are the cloud provider’s while others may be a shared responsibility. Most importantly, Microsoft is responsible for its global infrastructure, including each data center and the uptime of the Microsoft 365 service. Your responsibility as the user is to manage and protect your customer data within the Microsoft ecosystem.

Software supports business operations in healthcare, finance, e-commerce, and legal tech as well. Many organizations build legal tech software that streamlines document management, automates legal workflows, ensures compliance, and enhances collaboration for legal professionals. Key Insights.

Did you know that the average cost of an outage can be as high as $9K per minute? Risks concerning your Office 365 data range from accidental deletions and ransomware to service outages. In 2025, we already witnessed a number of outages happening throughout the year. On March 1, several key services such as Outlook, Teams, and even Azure were disrupted. It is reported that 30K Outlook users, 150 Microsoft Teams users, and 24K Office 365 users were affected by this.

GitProtect 2.0.5 version focuses on a more predictable recovery and access control. The console now enforces 2FA when users enter through SSO or SAML. So, access to backup and restore actions requires a second factor at the point of use. Additionally, bulk restores no longer depend on a single token’s rate limit, and Jira jobs are less brittle as well, with automatic detection of expired Personal Access Tokens. The new version is not a redesign.

Backup solutions are key to security and data protection. For healthcare organizations, a reliable backup strategy not only enables rapid recovery after a disaster but also ensures operational resilience and helps maintain compliance with strict regulatory requirements like the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

There is a critical speed-control paradox in the healthcare DevOps landscape: while DevOps best practices dramatically cut software delivery cycles, a lack of confidence in Disaster Recovery readiness, noted by Gartner, opens up room for fragile operations despite increased deployment speed. This gap demands a solution that adds reliability, such as comprehensive backup strategies, to ensure that faster development doesn’t compromise mission-critical systems ignited through DevOps platforms.

Any tool that is crucial for your daily operations – from Microsoft Teams or emails to OneDrive files – needs backup and reliable restore strategies. This way, you support the business continuity, compliance efforts, credibility, and overall security stance of your business. Keep in mind – without a well-thought-out backup strategy, you are risking being exposed to: Let’s take a closer look at aspects affecting your Microsoft 365 data.
