Is SkyKick Enough Protection Against Ransomware?

Ransomware is one of the fastest growing cyber threats in the UK.

Northamptonshire businesses are not immune. SMEs are frequently targeted because attackers assume protection levels are lower.

How Ransomware Impacts Microsoft 365

  • Encrypted files sync to OneDrive and SharePoint
  • Version history may be overwritten
  • Damage spreads rapidly across users

Microsoft provides some versioning protection — but it is not a full backup solution.

How SkyKick Helps

  • Stores backups independently from Microsoft
  • Allows point-in-time restoration
  • Enables clean data recovery
  • Protects against sync-based encryption

Is Backup Enough?

No — it should be part of a layered security approach including:

  • Multi-Factor Authentication
  • Conditional Access policies
  • Endpoint security
  • Email filtering
  • User awareness training

When combined with proactive IT management, SkyKick provides strong business-grade resilience.

Ashby Computer Services LLP delivers Microsoft 365 security and backup services across Northamptonshire, helping SMEs stay protected and compliant.
