Organisations need to rethink their approach to cybersecurity, and Thomas Peer Solutions is at the forefront of this transformation. Two core truths define today’s security landscape. Firstly, IT environments are more complex than ever. From Microsoft 365 to Salesforce, and the proliferation of AI applications accessing data in real time, organisations have a lot of data to protect, and its being used in unprecedented ways.
They often have to do so while lacking the people for the task, too, as skill shortages continue to bite right across the business landscape.
Reports show breaches are occurring at record rates. Clearly, traditional approaches to security and compliance are reaching their limits. The single biggest challenge when looking for a solution is ensuring that there aren’t any chinks in the armour – in other words, the need for comprehensive, integrated protection.
Thomas Peer Solutions, a premier IT services provider headquartered in Victoria, is leading the charge in reimagining enterprise security through its innovative Data Protection-as-a-Service (DPaaS) offering.
“The convergence of cloud platforms has created unprecedented challenges for Australian enterprises,” Udara Dharmadasa, CEO of Thomas Peer Solutions said. “Organisations struggle to maintain consistent protection across their entire IT environment while also meeting increasingly stringent compliance requirements. Our DPaaS solution directly addresses these challenges by providing a unified, scalable approach to data protection.”
The impact of these cybersecurity challenges is particularly acute in regulated industries, including healthcare, financial services, education, and government. These sectors face unique data security hurdles, with compliance mandates requiring them to implement robust, scalable, and cost-effective security solutions.
With over a decade of experience in these industries, Thomas Peer has developed a DPaaS platform that seamlessly integrates with multiple environments while ensuring compliance with sector-specific regulations.
At the core of Thomas Peer’s offering is a comprehensive Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) portfolio that scales from single virtual servers to complete architectures. This flexibility allows organisations to precisely match their needs while maintaining predictable costs through unmetered, consumption-based pricing. All IaaS solutions are geo-replicated as standard across two secure Australian data centres, ensuring business continuity and robust disaster recovery capabilities.
The company’s data protection suite includes Veeam Powered Backup as a Service (BaaS) and Cyber Vault as a Service (CVaaS), designed specifically for Australian enterprises requiring GDPR-compliant solutions. These services provide critical data protection across multiple secure locations, offering peace of mind through 24×7 monitoring and management. Organisations can choose from online or disk-to-disk backup solutions, creating cost-effective, capital expenditure-free options that align with their specific requirements.
“What sets our DPaaS offering apart is its ability to adapt to each organisation’s unique requirements,” Dharmadasa said. “We’ve designed our solution to be platform-agnostic, ensuring that regardless of the platforms that you use, you can maintain consistent protection standards across your entire digital ecosystem.”
Beyond improving security, Thomas Peer’s DPaaS model helps enterprises optimise their IT workforce. Traditionally, IT teams dedicate significant time to managing multiple security tools and responding to compliance demands. Thomas Peer’s platform streamlines these processes by automating security tasks, providing advanced monitoring, and simplifying compliance reporting.
This frees up IT professionals to focus on business innovation, digital transformation, and other strategic initiatives, rather than firefighting cybersecurity issues.
Looking ahead, Thomas Peer continues to innovate in response to emerging challenges. The company’s investment in automation and AI-driven protection capabilities ensures that its clients stay ahead of evolving threats.
For enterprises considering the transition to a Protection-as-a-Service model, Thomas Peer offers a comprehensive assessment process that evaluates current protection measures and identifies opportunities for improvement. This consultative approach, combined with the company’s technical expertise and industry experience, helps organisations develop a roadmap for modern data protection that aligns with their business objectives.
“The future of enterprise data protection lies in integrated, scalable solutions that can adapt to changing business needs,” Dharmadasa said. “Our DPaaS platform represents not just a technology solution, but a strategic approach to data protection that enables organisations to focus on their core business while maintaining the highest levels of security and compliance.”
Thomas Peer’s innovative approach offers a clear path forward as the cybersecurity space becomes more fraught with risk for organisations of all sizes. By combining deep technical expertise with a comprehensive understanding of industry-specific requirements, the company is helping Australian enterprises build more resilient, efficient, and compliant protection strategies.
