What is the Strategic Cloud Backup Strategy course about?

Boards are asking sharper questions about data durability, recovery assurance, and regulatory exposure. Yet most backup strategies remain siloed in IT, lacking the structure to earn executive confidence or survive audit scrutiny. This creates friction, delays, and over-indexed risk mitigation that slows innovation.
