Veritas Data Protection and Governance for Office 365 gives organizations critical tools to manage their Office 365 data including Veritas SaaS Backup, a new cloud-to-cloud backup and recovery solution designed for comprehensive Office 365 data protection and recovery, and Veritas Information Map and Veritas Enterprise Vault.cloud.
