Assured Data Protection Introduces Assured Backup with BackBox

Assured Data Protection Ltd., provider in managed data protection, DR, and cyber-resilience services, announced the launch of Assured Backup with BackBox, a new managed service developed in partnership with Backbox Software,a provider of network cyber resilience solutions. This service provides automated backup, version control, and rapid restoration of network and security device configurations.

Assured Backup with Backbox addresses a long-standing blind spot in enterprise resilience strategies: the lack of operational rigor to safeguard configurations for firewalls, switches, routers, and other critical network and security endpoints. With support for more than 5,000 device types, the BackBox-powered service secures configuration files, stores them in an encrypted off-site repository, and enables customers to quickly flash devices back to a known good state after cyber incidents, outages, or hardware failures.

“Customers rely on network-connected devices every second of every day, yet many have no proven plan to recover them,” said Tony Giannini, VP, global innovation, Assured Data Protection. “Replacing a switch, firewall, or router can take two to eight hours per device, and even longer during a crisis. With this service, we can restore exact configurations almost instantly. For customers with dozens or hundreds of devices, the time and cost savings are enormous.”

Closing a critical gap in cyber and operational resilience
Network and security devices sit at the core of every organization’s digital operations, but their configurations are often stored manually, inconsistently, or in unencrypted local files. This creates significant risk during cyberattacks, device failures, or natural disasters, resulting in extended downtime, high consulting costs, and complex manual recovery processes.

Assured Backup with BackBox solves these challenges by:

• Automating protection for 5,000+ network and security device types
• Encrypting and storing configuration versions off-site, independent of customer infrastructure
• Applying version control and policy-based protection to ensure every change is captured
• Enabling rapid device restoration, reducing recovery times from hours to minutes
• Delivering major cost savings, eliminating the need for expensive VAR or consultant rebuilds

“Most organizations have robust data backup strategies but limited visibility into or control over the configurations that keep their networks running,” said Rekha Shenoy, CEO, BackBox. “Our partnership with Assured offers customers a simple, automated, and highly cost-effective way to protect their network and security infrastructure. Combined with Assured’s managed service expertise, it delivers a new level of resilience to an area where many enterprises remain exposed.”

Extending Assured’s cyber resilience platform
The introduction of Assured Backup with BackBox expands the company‘s innovation roadmap across cyber resilience, DR, and business continuity. The firm now provides full-spectrum coverage from core data to network infrastructure alongside its existing Rubrik backup solutions, NutanixDRaaS offering, and a rapid DR solution with Zerto, designed for organizations with diverse hypervisors that require aggressive RPOs/RTOs across any compute or storage platform.

This new capability also opens up additional routes to market. In addition to direct enterprise adoption, the company will partner with MSPs and technology service providers looking to enhance the resilience of their network and security practices.

“BackBox fills a critical, previously underserved layer of the stack,” added Giannini. “It strengthens our customers’ overall cyber resilience posture and gives our partners a new way to enhance their managed services.”
