Scottish cloud computing and data centre company Brightsolid has launched a new service protecting data back ups from rising threats of cyberattack or disasters.
Developed in partnership with data resilience platform Druva, the firm’s “backup-as-a-service” (BaaS) offering will enable organisation to minimise risks associated with data loss from disruptions, outages, or disasters.
Covid and remote working has spurred thousands of organisations to migrate to the cloud. However, as companies expand their digital footprints, data is across many systems and infrastructure, which has increased the risk for potential attack.
Brightsolid, a which operates a data centre in Aberdeen, said the back up service gives businesses access to ransomware protection which prevents threats accessing data and workloads. In addition, backups are stored on malware-resistant architecture that stops ransomware from executing within back-up data.
Brightsolid CEO Elaine Maddison said: “From launching our cyber security service, Managed Detection and Response earlier this year, we know there is an ever-evolving threat landscape targeting business-critical infrastructure, particularly backups, to ensure their ransomware demands are paid.

“Collaborating with Druva on our new ‘backup-as-a-service’ offering, safeguards that data, which ensures critical backups are physically separated from affected networks and assets.
“This gives our customers the peace of mind they can quickly resume operations in the event of a malicious attack or incident, with limited downtime and costs.”
Threats ‘advance by the day’
For his part, Druva senior director Gareth Lush added: “Cyber threats continue to advance by the day, making every organisation at risk of an attack.
“To prepare, enterprises need a holistic solution that can protect, secure and recover their data at a moment’s notice.
“Druva’s platform is already helping thousands reduce their cyber risk and through our new partnership with Brightsolid, we (can) help customers fight off today’s threats with our approach.”
