Our take

Alcion is a provider of an AI-powered "Backup-as-a-Service" product for Microsoft 365, that protects data from ransomware, malware, accidents, and outages. It claims to stand out against traditional Microsoft 365 backup solutions by being proactive, as opposed to reactive, and able to intelligently cope with the threat environments of today.

Founded in 2022, the company specifically aims to combat issues arising from the management of data stored in third-party SaaS services, providing IT teams with a secure, robust, and intelligent platform specifically designed for modern IT administration.

With clientele spanning the globe, Alcion has already secured an impressive footprint for itself, and has raised funding from the likes of Lip-Bu Tan, an Intel Corp board member; Abhinav Asthana, founder and chief executive of Postman Technologies; and Debanjan Saha, CEO of DataRobot. Moving forward, it hopes to successfully balance security with accessibility, and become a key feature for those utilising Microsoft 365 for their critical data.
