Description

Datto BCDR appliances ship with inherent and configurable security features and functionality to support a secure deployment. You are responsible for the configuration of those features and for deploying the Datto appliance in a way that meets your network and security architecture requirements. Datto expects that you will deploy your BCDR appliances in a secure LAN environment with no inbound internet access, and that appropriate network access control exists on your LAN to limit the accessibility to your appliance network daemons and services.

The Datto BCDR appliance offers a range of configuration options to help MSPs and end-users manage BCDR work-flows in a manner that best suits their environment. MSPs should always deploy the Datto device in a secure LAN environment, and enable more secure configuration options when available and appropriate for the end-user.

Datto is committed to providing a backup and disaster recovery solution with security features that aid customers in meeting their security policy and compliance requirements.
