Difficulties in cloud data protection
In large-scale business scenarios, it is difficult to learn about the protection status of all cloud data, gain insight into potential risks, and determine whether protection policies meet business requirements. Therefore, a comprehensive analysis and evaluation method is required.
Insufficient understanding of the native protection mechanism of basic Alibaba Cloud service data may result in a lack of protection for critical data and a failure to properly plan protection policies from the business perspective.
Different basic services use different data protection mechanisms. It is difficult for the persons in charge to view the overall disaster recovery architecture. Challenges in collecting information and creating reports also arise during data protection auditing. Therefore, a centralized protection policy platform is required.
Benefits
BDRC displays the protection status of data stored in Alibaba Cloud on dashboards and provides the report feature. This helps you perform centralized data management, inspection, and auditing in a visualized manner.
BDRC provides data protection policies from the business perspective. This helps you configure data protection policies without the need to understand the complex underlying mechanisms. This ensures the security of critical businesses and data.
BDRC allows you to manage data in a centralized manner. This minimizes the learning cost and improves data management efficiency.
