“We’ve been using Backblaze to reliably back up our 400 endpoints for years,” said Sintya Pappagallo, the IT Manager at North Point Ministries. “We’re excited at the possibility of having even more control to meet our growing administration and data protection needs with this new Computer Backup with Enterprise Control solution.”
Backblaze Computer Backup with Enterprise Controls features and benefits include:
- Fine-Grained Permissions: Allows administrators to control access to group member data on a granular level for enterprise operations. This includes control over members’ ability to delete their own backups, admin’s ability to delete member backups, and admin’s permissions for restoring member data.
- Advanced Single Sign-On: Admins can configure OpenID Connect (OIDC). Supports external identity provider (IdP) services that support OIDC standards, including Okta and Azure Active Directory.
- Group Management Controls: Ability to control members from leaving a group or taking data with them, ordering restore hard drives or snapshot hard drives without permissions, and optionally hides ability to update the client through the desktop app.
- Compliance Support: Benefits businesses who are mandated to apply greater controls given compliance, cyber insurance, or heightened recovery point objective (RPO) and recovery time objective (RTO) requirements.
