HYCU is considered a global leader in data protection as a service and continually innovates in the industry. Recently, the company introduced a new GitHub service in the HYCU R-Cloud Marketplace, expanding its existing data protection-as-a-service (DPaaS) integrations.
With over 100 million users, GitHub is a significant development platform. However, by choosing to use a cloud-based service for their Git repositories, companies have encountered new threats, including the risk of data loss due to access by multiple users, continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) automation, and command-driven workflows.
“Third-party risk is quickly becoming the leading source of disruptions in SaaS application data usage,” said Subbiah Sundaram, Senior Vice President of Product at HYCU. “When you consider the potential exposure to malicious attacks or ransomware, GitHub can offer hackers a significant return on investment by providing access to sensitive and mission-critical developer data.”
Users can take advantage of HYCU’s comprehensive toolkit to restore GitHub repositories, pull requests, and configurations in any situation. With a single click, users can initiate automated backups, manage their GitHub backups either in the cloud or on-premises, and maintain a consistent log of all backup and recovery activities.

The introduction of data protection services for GitHub is a significant advantage for the developer community. Developers will now have access to the necessary tools to recover intellectual property, source code, and configurations for major Git repositories.
With this announcement, HYCU becomes the only vendor in the backup and recovery sector that can protect GitHub and other Git repositories, such as GitLab and CircleCI. Additionally, it offers offsite copies to AWS S3-compatible storage, both on-premises and in the cloud.
HYCU is an important player in cybersecurity broadly, and SaaS data protection more specifically. What has always stood out about the company is its steadfast commitment to a specific goal: the protection of a company’s entire data estate, including its SaaS applications. Since its inception, HYCU has remained focused on its mission to safeguard as many SaaS applications and data sources as possible. Its growing list of protected data sources has gained a critical addition.
