AvePoint Expands Data Security, Agentic AI Governance in 'Confidence Platform'

AvePoint has expanded its Confidence Platform with broader multi-SaaS data protection and governance for agentic AI.

The update adds backup support for Monday.com, DocuSign, Smartsheet, Okta, Confluence and Google GCP VMs, alongside a new Operational Efficiency Command Center that measures the ROI of governance and security practices. The platform also introduces visibility into Microsoft Copilot Studio agents, allowing IT teams to monitor compliance and access levels across AI-driven workflows.

The revamped platform "is built to go beyond traditional, disconnected backup solutions, extending seamlessly across complex multi-cloud environments to power next-gen information lifecycle management, security and visibility under one control framework," said John Peluso, AvePoint CTO. "Expanding AvePoint’s SaaS data protection capabilities across these prominent platforms is a natural next step for the Confidence Platform’s evolution."
