Discussions of Mac OS security often focus primarily on the aspects of defending a network against external intrusions and vulnerabilities. To complement malware protection, the inclusion of a comprehensive backup solution that ensures data integrity and restoration capabilities is an essential component of a healthy and secure Mac OS environment.

The Casper Suite readily integrates with many third party developer solutions including CrashPlan PRO, a product which ensures a continuous backup of all business data to multiple locations – onsite, offsite or in the cloud. We use CrashPlan PRO at JAMF and many of our customers do as well, so it is a perfect product to showcase the remarkable integration that is possible with best of breed applications and The Casper Suite.
