With HYCU R-Cloud, customers get comprehensive protection, item-level recovery, and backup storage control for Microsoft Entra ID and cloud security services
HYCU, Inc., leader in the segment of data protection solutions as a service on-premise, cloud and SaaS and one of the fastest growing companies, has released important updates to its data protection platform HYCU R-Cloud, which allows customers to gain additional protection for their Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions with support for Microsoft Entra ID. What's new is that customers get enterprise-class backup and item-level restore for Microsoft's widely adopted IAM solution, along with Okta and cloud security services. The latest integration with SaaS services brings the total number of supported applications and cloud services to over 80, making HYCU the leading SaaS data protection platform for SaaS application users who need rapid restore, protection and complete control of data and security configurations, from IAM to network and firewall services.
HYCU for Microsoft Entra ID offers enterprises automated, policy-based backups, as well as rapid tenant-level recovery and one-click recovery of configurations and data. This new solution from HYCU fills a critical gap in data protection strategies, ensuring operational continuity and improving the security of companies that rely on Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) to manage access to their digital environment. In the new State of SaaS Resilience Report, more than 400 IT managers responded that they would be significantly impacted if their Microsoft Entra ID, SSO and IAM data suddenly became unavailable due to an outage, error or cyber attack. For Microsoft Entra ID policies and configurations, which are prone to human error due to high change rates and are the primary target of ransomware and bad actors, HYCU for Microsoft Entra ID offers not only peace of mind, but also a complete solution.
Microsoft Entra ID is the identity management backbone for millions of organizations around the world. With more than 610 million monthly active users as of 2023, including approximately 400 million from Microsoft environments and 210 million from non-Microsoft workloads, Microsoft Entra ID has become an indispensable tool for businesses of all sizes. This widespread adoption underlines the need for an enterprise-class backup and restore solution, created specifically for Microsoft Entra ID, but which also works equally well in other unprotected or unsecured SaaS application environments.
“We believe Microsoft Entra ID support in R-Cloud represents a significant milestone in data protection for IAM solutions and related cloud security services,” said Simon Taylor, Founder and CEO of HYCU. "Microsoft Entra ID holds the keys to an organization's digital sphere. Our solution ensures that these mission-critical configurations are always protected, allowing IT teams to confidently manage their environment and recover quickly from any incident, whether it's a misconfiguration or a sophisticated cyberattack."
Key features of HYCU R-Cloud™ for Microsoft Login ID support include:
- One-click configuration restore, from individual items to the entire Microsoft Entra ID system.
- Automatic backups with backup assurance, for 24/7 protection, with complete logging and notifications.
- Ransomware-proof copies held in customer-controlled, unmodifiable cloud storage.
- Instant view of your entire data assets, indicating unprotected applications and third-party risk factors.

- Additional protection and recovery of Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), Amazon Route 53, AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF), AWS Parameter Store, Amazon Key Management Services (KMS).
“As IAM solutions become central to the access, communication and availability of today's applications, the need to protect their configurations and data has never been more central,” said Subbiah Sundaram, SVP of Products at HYCU. “The integration of Microsoft Entra ID support into R-Cloud guarantees a level of protection and speed of recovery of these configurations that is unmatched in the industry.”
This last solution is linked to the recent inclusion of HYCU among the leaders in Gartner's 2024 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Backup and Recovery Software Solutions, further highlighting the company's position among innovators in multi-cloud and SaaS data protection.
