Wed, 14th Aug 2024

Keepit, a global provider of cloud backup and recovery solutions, has been named a winner in the Best Use of SaaS in a Cloud Ecosystem category at the 2024 Cloud SaaS Awards.

The announcement was made public in London as the company also received recognition as a finalist in two other categories: Best Security Innovation in a SaaS Product (SME) and Best Security Innovation in a SaaS Product (Enterprise).

The SaaS Awards is a long-established program that spans 56 categories, recognising the leading innovations and applications of software-as-a-service solutions across various use cases and sectors. This year, the program received entries from organisations worldwide, including North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.

Michele Hayes, Chief Marketing Officer at Keepit, expressed delight at the accolade. "The Keepit platform is a must for companies looking to ensure cyber resiliency. We are honoured to have been named as a winner at the 2024 SaaS Awards. This, alongside the slew of other recent accolades, underscores our cloud-native roots and commitment to providing our customers with best-in-class data protection," Hayes said.

James Williams, CEO of The Cloud Awards, offered insights into this year's competitive landscape. "We're thrilled to reveal the winners of the 2024 SaaS Awards after three intense rounds of judging. It's been an outstanding edition of the awards this year, and the team and I would like to thank all those organisations that entered," he said.

Williams added, "Keepit has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to innovation and excellence and is a more than deserving winner of Best Use of SaaS in a Cloud Ecosystem. The calibre of the finalists this year was particularly high, which is a testament to this wonderful achievement."

In addition to its SaaS Awards win, Keepit's platform received numerous other industry accolades this year. It was named Best Cybersecurity Backup Service by the Business Awards UK, 2024 Cybersecurity and Resilience Awards. The Cloud Security Awards 2024 awarded it the title of "Best Security Solution for Data Management / Data Protection." Furthermore, the Global Infosec Awards 2024 recognised Keepit in four categories at the RSA event: Most Innovative Compliance, Publisher's Choice Cyber Resilience, Best Product Data Recovery, and Hot Company Ransomware Recovery.

The Keepit platform is designed to enhance cyber resilience by securing data in a vendor-independent cloud. Customer data is maintained in a separate, dedicated infrastructure, ensuring it remains isolated from the SaaS vendor's cloud. The platform boasts a user-friendly interface, robust data security, and the capability to adapt to varying cloud environments, thus guaranteeing continuous data access and protection.

With over 10,000 companies relying on Keepit for cloud data backup and recovery, the platform has garnered a reputation for its ease of use and efficacy. Headquartered in Copenhagen, Keepit operates offices and data centres globally. The company's solutions aim to safeguard essential business applications, provide resilience against cyber threats, and ensure compliance with local regulations.

The Cloud Awards program has been celebrating successes in cloud computing since 2011 and includes five distinct awards programs focusing on various aspects of cloud technology, including SaaS, cloud security, artificial intelligence, and financial technologies. Winners are selected by a judging panel of international industry experts, making the recognition all the more prestigious.
