Protecting your data across different environments with Peter Davidsson
Book an interactive masterclass with Peter Davidsson, Cloud Data Protection Specialist at Cristie. In 30-90 minutes, you'll get a clear picture of what your cloud environments actually need in terms of data protection, where the most common gaps are, and what a modern cloud protection strategy looks like in practice.
The session is built around your environment and your questions, not a generic product walkthrough.

About this Masterclass
Moving workloads to the cloud doesn't mean your data is protected. It means someone else is running the infrastructure. The responsibility for backing it up, securing it, and being able to recover it, that's still yours.
Most organisations discover this the hard way. They assume AWS, Azure, or Microsoft 365 have them covered. They don't - not for recovery, not for ransomware, and not for the compliance obligations that apply to their data regardless of where it lives.
In this masterclass, Peter maps out what cloud data protection actually involves and what it takes to get it right across complex, multi-cloud environments:
-
The shared responsibility model explained honestly: what your cloud provider covers and what you're entirely on your own for
-
Where organisations lose visibility as they scale across AWS, Azure, SaaS, and hybrid setups - and what the real exposure looks like
-
How to protect cloud-native workloads: EC2, Azure VMs, RDS, Blob storage, and databases, without building separate tools for each platform
-
SaaS protection in practice: why Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and Google Workspace data is not automatically backed up, and what happens when it's lost
-
Air-gapped, immutable cloud backups: what they mean in a cloud context, why they matter for ransomware resilience, and how they differ from native snapshots
-
Data sovereignty and compliance: how to ensure your backup data stays in the right region, meets GDPR requirements, and is auditable under NIS2 and DORA
-
Cloud DR vs. cloud backup: understanding the difference, and when you actually need both.
The goal is not to sell you more infrastructure. It's to help you understand what you're protecting, what you're not, and how to close the gap without adding unnecessary complexity.
Who is this masterclass for?
This masterclass is suitable for organisations that:
-
Are running workloads in AWS, Azure, or a hybrid environment and are not confident they have a complete protection strategy across all of them
-
Rely on SaaS platforms like Microsoft 365 or Salesforce for critical data, and have not explicitly addressed how that data is backed up and recoverable
-
Are under compliance pressure from GDPR, NIS2, DORA, or sector-specific frameworks requiring demonstrable data protection and recovery capability in cloud environments
-
Are in the middle of a cloud migration and want to build the right protection strategy from the start, rather than retrofitting it later.
Typical participants: IT managers, cloud architects, platform owners, security officers, and compliance responsible in organisations with significant or growing cloud footprints.
Structure and format
Duration: 30-90 minutes depending on your needs
Format: Online or on-site at your premises
Style: Diagnostic and conversational - starting with a structured review of what you're actually running in the cloud and where your current protection gaps are, then moving to concrete options and recommendations based on your setup
Materials: Basic presentation material and a brief written summary can be shared afterwards
Each masterclass is adapted to your specific cloud footprint. Whether you're primarily on AWS, running a hybrid environment, or dealing with a growing SaaS estate, you'll leave with a clearer view of where you stand and what the next step looks like.
