HYCU Protégé was introduced at ITPT 31 in June 2019. Since launching, the solution has been recognized as an honorable mention in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Center Backup and Recovery Solutions, published July 2020, along with several other industry accolades. HYCU Protégé is the industry’s only application-aware, light weight cross-cloud migration and DR solution for enterprise applications and workloads and delivers application consistency, protected migration, 1-click DR and consolidated management across clouds.

Highlights of the latest enhancements to HYCU Protégé include:

• Additional data protection for Dell EMC PowerScale OneFS: HYCU now supports native Isilon REST APIs, including the snapshot-change-list API, for efficient and fast incremental backups. HYCU customers can now easily scale across Isilon clusters with minimalist deployment, improving overall backup SLAs and Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs). Support extends from direct backups to on-prem or cloud-based object storage with no performance penalty.

• Enhanced protection for public cloud: As security and compliance become more mainstream in the shared responsibility model with public cloud providers, HYCU now supports direct backups and archives to WORM-enabled object storage on Azure (Blob) and Google Cloud (Google Cloud Storage – GCS). This builds on existing support of performing backups to AWS S3 WORM enabled object storage and eliminates the probability of a backup being impacted. This also allows for quicker recovery on a remote site/cloud from an offsite copy.
• Simplified security credential management: Building on industry-leading support for Multi-factor Authentication (MFA), network segmentation, in transit encryption, black-box architecture and multitenancy, HYCU customers can now centralize, simplify, and secure their application and system credentials in CyberArk Conjur Credential Store, an external Credential store, both for organization users and also for tenants.
• Advanced security and compliance for GovCloud use: To leverage solutions in Gov Cloud, HYCU customers need to deploy and manage themselves or have a Fed Ramped SaaS offering. As there are no Fed Ramped SaaS offerings available today, HYCU now provides a single-click migration for OnPrem workloads onto Azure Gov Cloud for a seamless, application consistent lift and shift up experience. This builds on support of Azure Gov Cloud Blob to store HYCU backups.

“The statistics are staggering. A ransomware attack occurs every 11 seconds. On average, it takes 16 days to recover from a ransomware attack. The estimated cost of ransomware attacks exceeds $50 billion since 2018. And, this is just the data from attacks that have been reported,” said Simon Taylor, Founder and CEO, HYCU Inc. “At HYCU, we have focused our effort on supporting customers and partners to keep the lifeblood of their organizations, data and applications, protected, safe, secure and recoverable in the event of human error or malicious actor attack. With these latest updates to HYCU Protégé and extended support for our Federal customers with GovCloud, we are keeping our commitment to provide the right solution to address not only today’s rising needs but those of future needs as well. These updates are also the culmination of work around R-Score, the public service initiative we created to help identify what needs to be done in order to be best prepared to recover in the event of a ransomware attack, along with tight collaboration from our engineering team and key customers and partners. I could not be more proud of the results of these efforts.”

“HYCU’s growth has been extremely impressive over the past three years,” said Philippe Nicolas, Founder and Principal, Coldago Research. “When you factor in tangible results from the approach they take with ransomware recovery, and the advancements they continue to make, it is no surprise to hear that customers have been able to recover from a ransomware attack from 16 days to 16 minutes. Today’s announcements only illustrate the impact that HYCU is making with customers and partners to better manage, protect and recover mission critical workloads across on-premises to the public cloud. Bravo Simon and the HYCU team.”
