AvePoint today announced new advancements to the AvePoint Confidence Platform that transition organizations from AI visibility to active enforcement, accelerating adoption while mitigating risk. These updates address critical governance and security gaps exposed by the rapid adoption of autonomous AI agents and the increasing complexity of multicloud data estates. The company is evolving cyber resiliency beyond traditional backup to focus on recovering the Minimum Viable Company (MVC), the smallest version of an organization that can continue operating during disruption.
Rapid Recovery System enables high-speed restoration of prioritized Microsoft 365 workloads.
New support for Microsoft Azure PostgreSQL, Cosmos DB, Bitbucket, Okta, Atlassian Admin, and Jira Admin.
AI agent governance delivers deeper insight into agent access to sensitive files.
Enhanced RBAC specific to AI agents empowers organizational security at scale.
Cross tenant license visibility and automation for MSPs across all Microsoft tenants.
AvePoint serves more than 28,000 customers with approximately 6,000 MSP partners.
AvePoint is expanding its disaster recovery capabilities with its Rapid Recovery System, a new orchestration framework that helps organizations move beyond traditional backup to structured, prioritized business recovery. Powered by Express Recovery, the system enables high-speed restoration of prioritized Microsoft 365 workloads concurrently with critical identities and infrastructure, thus restoring MVC first. By prioritizing what matters most and systematically analyzing and removing obsolete data, AvePoint's Rapid Recovery System helps customers shorten outage windows and restore operational continuity faster. In addition to optimizing protection of Microsoft 365 workloads, AvePoint continues to expand its coverage of SaaS and cloud sources, now offering support for Microsoft Azure PostgreSQL and Cosmos DB for infrastructure backup. Additionally, Bitbucket protection is now generally available, with enhanced support for Okta Workforce Identity Cloud, Atlassian Admin, and Jira Admin.
AI agents are scaling quickly, and organizations need actionable guardrails, not just dashboards. As agents move from analysis to action, AvePoint provides the necessary controls to govern autonomous behavior and mitigate exposure. Building on momentum from the recent launch of AgentPulse for Microsoft and Google agents, AvePoint's AI agent governance now delivers deeper insight into agent access to sensitive files and knowledge sources, including where data lacks proper security labeling. Enhanced RBAC (role-based access controls) specific to AI agents empower organizational security at scale, ensuring appropriate access for agents based on each user's rights.
Within the AvePoint Confidence Platform – Elements Edition, MSPs can manage and monitor users, applications, data, devices, tenants, and cloud infrastructure from a single system. Cross tenant license visibility and automation provide MSPs with a consolidated view of usage across all Microsoft tenants, supporting optimization, automated management, and proactive renewal conversations. Workspace Management enables data owners to remediate security risks such as oversharing, outdated access, and misconfigurations directly within Microsoft 365. A centralized policy vault, flexible baseline creation, and similarity-based drift detection improve accuracy and reduce false positives. Microsoft Intune App Management enables centralized app creation and bulk deployment across tenants. Azure Security Management and Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) deliver consistent security enforcement across Microsoft Azure environments.
As John Peluso, Chief Technology Officer of AvePoint, stated: "As AI and cloud expansion increase the risk surface, disruption no longer affects a single workload; it cascades across services. By focusing on MVC recovery, we are moving organizations from reactive data restoration to proactive business resilience, ensuring they can restore what matters first when incidents happen."
Scott Sacket, SVP, Global Partner Strategy at AvePoint, added: "The $276 billion AI services opportunity is currently being bottlenecked by operational complexity. With 51% of partners citing governance as their primary hurdle, according to our latest research with Omdia, these updates allow them to stop treating governance as a bespoke project and start treating it as a standardized, scalable service that protects against shadow AI."
