 Corso is the first open-source tool that aims to assist IT admins with the critical task of protecting their
 Microsoft 365 data. It provides a reliable, secure, and efficient data protection engine. Admins decide where to store
 the backup data and have the flexibility to perform backups of their desired service through an intuitive interface.
