Azure Backup includes essential protection mechanisms out of the box, but hidden risks can still leave your data vulnerable.

In this session, I’ll introduce you to the concept of the “Backup Operator from Hell” (BOFH) who is willing to destroy backups and show you how to safeguard against accidental or malicious actions. You’ll learn about weaknesses in the default Azure Backup setup and discover how to optimize your configuration for maximum security and reliability. Even Microsoft helps the BBOFH sometimes.

With hands-on demos, we’ll explore why the default settings often fall short and provide actionable strategies to harden your backups against threats. This session will arm you with practical tips to make your backups truly rock solid in 3 steps.
