Protecting Your Business Identity with Barracuda Entra ID Backup Premium

Barracuda introduces Entra ID Backup Premium

A cloud-based SaaS solution that provides comprehensive backup and recovery for critical identity data within Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD).

Why it matters?

In today’s digital world, identity is everything. Your Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) is the backbone of how your employees access the tools and applications they need. If that identity data is lost or compromised, your workforce could be locked out, and your business could grind to a halt.

The challenge?

Microsoft only keeps Entra ID data for a limited amount of time. That means accidental deletions, malicious attacks, or simple human errors can leave you exposed. Recovering without a proper backup is slow, expensive, and disruptive.

This is where Barracuda Entra ID Backup Premium comes in.

What it protects

Entra ID Backup Premium safeguards 13 essential identity components, including:

• Users, groups, roles, administrative units
• App registrations and audit logs
• Authentication and access policies
• BitLocker keys
• Device management (Intune policies)
• Conditional access policies, enterprise applications, named locations

Who benefits most

• Enterprise IT teams: Ensure continuity by recovering from errors or security incidents swiftly and reliably.
• Managed Service Providers (MSPs): Scales effortlessly across multiple tenants with centralised management and streamlined deployment.
• Risk-conscious organisations: Those prioritising cyber resilience, compliance, and business continuity will find great value in the solution.

What’s next?

In an era where identity-based attacks are surging—Microsoft blocked 7,000 password attacks per second in 2024, up from 4,000 per second in 2023—the importance of Entra ID backup cannot be overstated.

With Entra ID Backup Premium, organisations gain:

• Comprehensive coverage far beyond Microsoft’s default retention window.
• Rapid recovery from both accidental and malicious disruptions.
• A unified security posture, seamlessly integrated into an established Barracuda ecosystem.

It’s not just backup—it’s a stronger, more resilient foundation for identity continuity.
