Case Study: University of Utah protects endpoint data before encryption with TechValidate

University of Utah replaces Retrospect with Code42, protects data before encryption

The University of Utah, an educational institution, was experiencing repeated endpoint data loss from lost or stolen devices, hardware failures, accidental deletions and during migration efforts. With strict internal IT mandates and data privacy requirements, they needed a reliable backup solution that kept corporate data on-premises and met encryption key control policies.

They replaced Retrospect with Code42 CrashPlan deployed as a private, on‑premises cloud with locally stored encryption keys, scalable RAID storage and fast access. The solution integrated with their endpoint security stack and helped protect data before migrations and encryption projects, identify data on lost or stolen machines, and secure information when employees departed.
