Cybersecurity is a top concern for many businesses. What would it cost your business if all of your data was lost and you could not get it back? In some companies, the answer to this question is “we would be out of business.”

Passport CloudSave™ provides rigorous security measures to protect your data, as well as the ability to scale to increasing data requirements.

As businesses reassess their data strategies—whether maintaining cloud environments or bringing systems back on-premise—one priority remains constant. Companies must ensure their data is secure and recoverable in the event of a loss.

Cybersecurity and AI

Cybersecurity is also a growing concern in the world of AI, and many businesses are returning to on-premise servers.

There is a surprising new trend as AI adoption begins to accelerate, especially in Fortune 2000 companies. Some of these companies have already been feeding their proprietary data into cloud-based AI systems for analysis.

Once data is fed into these systems, it could be incorporated into AI models and used to provide services to other customers across the platform. It may no longer be private.

There is now a growing trend to bring these AI systems back in-house to regain privacy and maintain control over sensitive proprietary data including trade secrets and financial data.

Benefits of On-Premise Software

Cost has also become a significant factor in the decision as AI introductory prices seem to be fading. Customers who previously paid $200 per month are now paying $1,000 plus.

The power and utility of these systems have both increased along with the cost. But this gives reason to look at on-premise servers to run some of this workload.

While AI is still in its infancy, as are humanoid robotics and automated driving, you can see rapid progress in some areas.

AI agents are becoming available to help workers not only get information to help decision-making, but even doing tasks like making reservations, setting appointments and even more complex office tasks.

Passport Software is researching possible uses of AI with our software and within a few years we may see initial AI-based services integrated into PBS.

With Passport Business Solutions™ on-premise software, you have the capability to modify and enhance security measures. This includes regulating physical access to your computers and servers as needed.

Our affordable cloud backup services handle all data backup management needs, free up valuable time, ensure business continuity, and provide peace of mind.
