Veritas Technologies' IRAP assessment complete

Veritas Technologies is the latest vendor to announce completion of IRAP at the PROTECTED information classification level. The Veritas Alta SaaS Protection platform enhances cyber resiliency by providing enterprise-wide data protection and management to support organisations using software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions, such as Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Slack and Box.

As the shift towards SaaS continues with the rise of modern ways of working, Veritas sees the need for seamless integration with leading SaaS business applications to ensure comprehensive and flexible data protection — from a single pane of glass. The latest partnership with Microsoft to enhance cyber resiliency for Microsoft 365 Backup illustrates Veritas’s commitment in delivering a comprehensive and cost-effective data management and protection solution for Australian government agencies in an increasingly sophisticated threat environment.

Pete Murray, Managing Director of ANZ at Veritas, said the shift toward SaaS has created some confusion around cloud responsibility.

“The common misunderstanding around the cloud responsibility model means that many organisations have not factored in the need for third-party data protection. However, as most cloud service providers are operating on a shared responsibility model, this essentially means organisations must protect and secure their own cloud-based data,” he said.

“The Veritas Alta SaaS Protection platform is designed to support these SaaS models with the flexibility to scale up or down, while ensuring simplicity and efficiency in deployment, compliance and recovery processes. Most importantly, it offers cloud data security and users the assurance that critical data can be recovered with near-zero recovery point objectives (RPOs) and recovery time objectives (RTOs), in the worst-case scenario where a cyber attack occurs. With the IRAP assessment, Australian organisations, including government agencies, can use the Veritas Alta SaaS Protection platform to manage, protect and recover their critical data successfully in any event.”
