LAWRENCE, Kan. – Nov. 9, 2021 – Cobalt Iron Inc., a leading provider of SaaS-based enterprise data protection, today announced that CIOReview has named Cobalt Iron to its list of the 10 Most Promising Backup Solution Providers for 2021. Inclusion in the list is based on the strength of Cobalt Iron’s Compass® enterprise software-as-a-service backup platform.

“Compass is an industry-leading backup platform that uses AI/ML and analytics to eliminate operational complexity for enterprises that manage terabytes to petabytes of backup data,” said Cobalt Iron Chief Marketing Officer Andy Hurt in the October 2021 CIOReview article. “Also, Compass customers don’t need any specific or unique skills to manage Compass because they can do it through a user-friendly, browser-based interface.”

Those qualities — coupled with built-in CyberShield™ cybersecurity technology, hermetically sealed backup environment, and never-ending software and security updates — make Compass the ideal solution for protecting data from cybercriminals and ensuring effective deployment, operation, and administration of backup systems, especially for backup administrators who have been forced to work from home because of the pandemic.

“Given that CIOReview is such a respected resource for the IT community, it’s very meaningful that the editors have chosen Cobalt Iron as one of the top 10 backup solution providers for 2021,” Hurt said. “Compass has already helped myriad organizations avoid the reputational, operational, legal, and compliance implications that arise when cyberthreats are neglected."
