HYCURecover the SaaS, cloud and on-premises data your business runs on
HYCU is a data protection platform that backs up and recovers SaaS applications, public cloud and on-premises workloads from one place, including SaaS apps that many backup tools do not cover.
- SaaS, cloud and on-premises
- Microsoft 365, Salesforce, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Nutanix, VMware and more
- Customer-owned copies
- Immutable backups kept in cloud or on-premises storage you choose
- Agentless
- Uses native APIs, with no agents or proxies
Data protection gaps HYCU addresses
Backup used to mean servers and databases. Today much business data lives in SaaS applications, each with its own risks.
| Topic | What it can lead to | How HYCU helps |
|---|---|---|
| Assuming the SaaS provider backs up your data | What it can lead to: Deleted or corrupted records you cannot restore when you need them. | How HYCU helps: Backs up SaaS applications such as Microsoft 365, Salesforce, Box, Atlassian Cloud and GitHub, with granular, self-service recovery. |
| Ransomware reaching the backups | What it can lead to: No clean copy to restore from after an attack. | How HYCU helps: R-Lock keeps immutable, offsite copies in storage you own, and backup traffic is isolated on a network hidden from attackers. |
| A different backup tool for every platform | What it can lead to: Inconsistent policies, gaps between tools and slow investigations. | How HYCU helps: One platform for SaaS, cloud, on-premises and database workloads, with automated backup policies and a single view. |
| SaaS apps nobody told IT about | What it can lead to: Business data in applications with no backup at all. | How HYCU helps: Third-party visibility finds SaaS apps across the organisation and flags those without backup or recovery coverage. |
| A SaaS provider is down or compromised | What it can lead to: Teams cannot reach the data they need to keep working. | How HYCU helps: HYCU is designed to keep access to critical data even if a provider such as GitHub, Box or a CRM is compromised. |
| Slow, manual recovery | What it can lead to: Long outages while teams rebuild systems by hand. | How HYCU helps: Cyber recovery orchestrates restores across SaaS, cloud and on-premises using runbooks and infrastructure-as-code. |
What HYCU does
HYCU combines backup, cyber resilience (its R-Shield capabilities) and recovery in one platform.
Backup across many workloads
Protects SaaS, identity, public cloud, on-premises, database and DevOps workloads, with automated policies and granular recovery.
Immutable copies you own (R-Lock)
Creates immutable, offsite backup copies, including for SaaS apps, in a destination you choose. You own the data and the recovery path.
Threat detection at the source
Real-time anomaly detection and malware scanning where the data lives, without uploading your data to HYCU.
Third-party visibility
Discovers the SaaS applications in use across the organisation and flags those without backup or recovery coverage.
Cyber recovery
Orchestrates recovery across SaaS, cloud and on-premises with runbooks and infrastructure-as-code.
R-Cloud platform and marketplace
A low-code platform that SaaS vendors use to build backup and recovery for their applications, published through the HYCU R-Cloud Marketplace.
What HYCU can protect
Examples from the workloads HYCU lists. Coverage changes often, so check each application you rely on.
| Topic | Examples HYCU lists | What to confirm for your environment |
|---|---|---|
| SaaS and collaboration | Examples HYCU lists: Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Box, Atlassian Cloud | What to confirm for your environment: Which objects can be restored individually, and how far back. |
| Identity | Examples HYCU lists: Microsoft Entra ID, Okta | What to confirm for your environment: Whether users, groups and policies can be restored after an accidental or malicious change. |
| Public cloud | Examples HYCU lists: AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud | What to confirm for your environment: Which services and resource types are covered. |
| On-premises and private cloud | Examples HYCU lists: Nutanix, VMware, NetApp ONTAP, Dell PowerProtect Data Domain | What to confirm for your environment: Which versions are supported and where the backup service runs. |
| Databases | Examples HYCU lists: Oracle, SAP HANA, SQL, Amazon RDS | What to confirm for your environment: Application-consistent backup and point-in-time recovery needs. |
| DevOps and AI | Examples HYCU lists: GitHub, GitLab, Terraform, Pinecone, Redis | What to confirm for your environment: Which repositories, configuration and metadata are captured. |

Providers run the service, but HYCU points out that SaaS data still faces deletion, corruption and outages. Check each provider’s terms: their own retention and restore options may not meet your recovery needs.
With R-Lock, immutable backup copies are kept in cloud or on-premises storage you choose and own, so you control the data, the destination and the recovery path.
HYCU describes its R-Shield capabilities as agentless by design, using native APIs and no proxies.
HYCU’s cyber resilience capabilities: immutable copies with R-Lock, threat detection and malware scanning at the source, a hardened backup service, backup target posture monitoring and orchestrated cyber recovery.
A low-code development platform that SaaS companies use to add backup and recovery for their applications, which customers then subscribe to through the HYCU R-Cloud Marketplace.
HYCU offers a free AI agent and SaaS risk assessment through aiR Graph.
