When it comes to regulatory compliance, what are your options?

Archiving from Office 365
for Compliance and eDiscovery

Regulatory compliance often requires companies to keep various conforming email data for specific periods of time – and a regulatory audit will require the company to quickly produce that data or face fines.  Because non-compliance can carry stiff penalties, companies are naturally concerned that compliance archives are secured.

This simply isn’t something that can be done in a public cloud when another vendor is managing that data and only segregating it from other data.  These situations require a compliance repository, which is often an archive kept on-premises or in a different, directly-managed cloud environment.

The Barracuda Message Archiver (BMA) enables customers to retain and retrieve all email communication while reducing storage requirements.  It’s ideal for organizations looking to reduce their email storage requirements and boost user productivity with mobile or desktop access to any email ever sent or received. The cloud-connected appliance uses the Barracuda Cloud to move information to the cloud as a secondary tier of storage. In addition, the Barracuda Message Archiver also provides a powerful, yet simple platform for eDiscovery and compliance.


As a government municipality, the City of Lebanon, TN is required to store emails for up to 7 years. The Barracuda Message Archiver allows them to automate the archiving process, removes strain from their email servers, and gives them the ability to easily retrieve stored messages.

Compliance archives are best kept segregated from other data – and under a company’s direct control.Click To Tweet

By

Cryptolocker and similar ransomware attacks are nothing new, and we’ve blogged about them before.  As we said over a year ago, the attackers using these methods continue to adapt their technology and business model to circumvent law enforcement officials and user defenses.

Ransomware is a type of malware that hijacks data on the infected computer and demands a ransom from the user.  Here’s a video demonstrating Cryptolocker in action:
