In this article, Eric Wright reacts to the HYCU presentation from Cloud Field Day 17. HYCU is aiming to tackle the significant risk and attack vectors present in an enterprise’s data protection. The explosion of data and increasing number of data-centric services being part of IT portfolios puts all data at risk for loss, data modifications, and ransomware. HYCU is leveraging its team’s diverse background and application-awareness approach to integrate partner products and apply data protection policies to simplify and optimize data protection across distribution systems and software as a service platforms. The company’s R-cloud platform further supports this effort by providing a low-code development structure for data protection solutions.
