Simply having backups is no longer enough. Modern cyber threats, SaaS sprawl, and growing data volumes require a smarter approach to resilience.
Join AvePoint’s data protection webinar series to learn how organisations achieve rapid recovery for their minimum viable company through complete data protection strategies that prioritize prevention, recovery speed, and data readiness.
Across three sessions, we’ll show you how to:
- Recover Microsoft 365 data faster when disaster strikes
- Protect data across SaaS applications and infrastructure
- Eliminate ROT data to reduce costs and speed recovery
Series Overview
Modern resilience starts before disaster strikes.
Many organisations believe backups are enough to protect them. But when ransomware hits, data is corrupted, or systems fail, recovery speed—not storage—is what determines business continuity.
This series will walk through a modern resilience strategy built around three pillars:
Prepare. Protect. Recover.
You’ll leave with practical guidance on how to strengthen recovery workflows, close data protection gaps, and ensure your organization is ready when something goes wrong.

17 June | Resilience Wherever Works Lives
Modern work spans multiple platforms and infrastructure layers, creating hidden risks without a unified protection strategy. This session explores how to secure data across SaaS, on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments.
In this session, you’ll learn:
- How SaaS sprawl creates security risks.
- Why Microsoft 365 alone doesn’t cover your full environment.
- How to bridge SaaS and infrastructure protection.
- Best practices for coordinated recovery across your digital footprint.

18 June | The Unsung Hero - Reducing ROT and Risk
Disaster recovery starts with asking: What data is worth recovering? Many organizations protect redundant, obsolete, and trivial (ROT) data, slowing recovery and raising costs. This session shows how data lifecycle management improves resilience by focusing on essential data.
In this session, you’ll learn:
- Identifying ROT data.
- Why protecting everything slows recovery.
- How lifecycle management cuts risk and costs.
- Data readiness for AI and automation.
- Archiving with Microsoft
