Unitrends Endpoint Backup with Disaster Recovery: Now Supporting Windows PCs

Modern organizations rely heavily on personal computers (PCs) to conduct their daily operations. From handling sensitive client information to executing complex business processes, PCs are integral to an organization’s functionality. PCs are not just devices for work; they are repositories of confidential information, financial data and sensitive communications. While the need to protect these devices from various threats is paramount, it comes with numerous challenges.

PCs, especially laptops, are easily lost, stolen or damaged. This exposes organizations to the risk of sensitive data falling into the wrong hands, potentially leading to severe financial and reputational damage.

Another challenge is the mobility of PCs. Employees frequently use their devices outside the office, resulting in inconsistent Wi-Fi connections and limited access to corporate networks. This mobility complicates data backup processes and leaves devices susceptible to security breaches when not protected by the organization’s network defenses.

PCs are also common initial attack vectors for cybercriminals, particularly for ransomware attacks. These attacks can encrypt critical data, rendering it inaccessible until a ransom is paid. Such incidents can disrupt business operations for extended periods and incur substantial costs.

Additionally, PCs used by high-profile individuals within the organization, such as the CEO and other executives, are especially critical. These devices often contain highly sensitive information and are prime targets for cyberattacks. Protecting the data on these devices is vital, as any breach could lead to significant strategic and operational setbacks for the entire organization.
