In today’s digital world, data loss is not a distant possibility—it’s a daily threat. Ransomware attacks, hardware failures, human error, or even natural disasters can paralyze any organization instantly.
For Managed Service Providers (MSPs) in Latin America, this is both a challenge and an opportunity. The challenge is protecting clients from growing risks; the opportunity is to become a strategic partner by ensuring business continuity with robust backup and recovery solutions.
Why are backup and recovery critical for MSPs?
- Ransomware protection: cyberattacks are rising year after year, and SMEs are primary targets.
- Regulatory compliance: industries like banking, healthcare, and education demand documented backup strategies.
- Client loyalty: companies that trust their MSP to safeguard data usually maintain long-term partnerships.
- Differentiation: not all providers offer managed backup, creating room to stand out.
