Overview

Most modern IT operations depend heavily on Jira Service Management — Atlassian’s advanced, AI-powered ITSM tool — to manage incidents, assets, service requests, and mission-critical workflows. However, many organisations are unaware that JSM houses vital business data that can be prone to accidental deletions, ransomware attacks, corrupted configurations, compliance penalties, or operational downtime.

This whitepaper explores why backup and recovery are essential for modern ITSM environments and how your organisation can build a secure, scalable protection strategy with automated backups, rapid granular restores, ransomware-proof storage, and long-term compliance.
