Reviewed for Conflict

Can't find anything blatantly advertising like or incorrect. Comparing user counts via alexa and compete, it appears they are more relevant than many providers listed in wikipedia.

I modeled this article based on the format and content used in the currently posted article about Backblaze. http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Backblaze

Not sure what is missing in the CrashPlan article that makes it a candidate for removal. Please offer specific suggestions about what needs to be changed.

Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mariecrashplan (talk • contribs)

Cleanup request

{{request edit}} There was previously a separate article on the company's software Crashplan and in the merge things got a little mixed up. A lot of the content became redundant, poor grammar, etc. I would like to propose the following:

• Delete the Reviews section. I don't think it makes sense to have it now that the article is focused on the company.
• Delete the software infobox. It's crowding the article, which already has a company infobox. Also, most of the info in the box is repeated elsewhere.
• Replace the Software and Features sections with a couple paragraphs (leaving the Reception section in). This section got muddled up in the merge and became over-sized and redundant. Just a couple paragraphs about the products should be all that's needed.

Updates Requested/Needed

At some point in the past the CrashPlan article was merged in with the Code42 article.

As of July 2022, CrashPlan the product has been spun out from Code42 and is its own entity focused on backup and recovery whereas Code42 are continuing on their course to provide Insider Risk Management: https://www.crashplan.com/en-us/crashplan-receives-investment-from-mill-point-capital/

https://twitter.com/crashplan/status/1554832245579337728?s=20

I cannot edit the article as 1) I am a brand new baby editor and 2) I work for an involved party and want to be respectful of the community guidelines against edits in that case.

Can someone help me out and make sure that it's clear that CrashPlan is in no way affiliated with Code42 at this juncture? It would be helpful to create a dedicated "CrashPlan" page which focuses on the product and indicates that there is a separation. Rileybruce (talk) 21:31, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

Edit Request

I'm unable to edit due to a conflict of interest, and would like to request these edits by an unconnected editor.
1) Please update the products field in the infobox to say just "Insider risk management software", since the company no longer sells CrashPlan.
2) Please delete sources 7 and 9 as unnecessary. There are too many sources there now.
3) Please change the second sentence to reflect the current product line. "It is the maker of the cloud-native data protection product Incydr and security microlearning product Instructor." The Techradar source named "Faulds" still works, and we can add <ref name="helpnet">{{cite web|url=https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2021/09/16/code42-instructor/|title=Code42 Instructor gives security teams the ability to correct risky behaviors|website=Help Net Security|date=September 16, 2021|accessdate=August 24, 2023}}</ref> to source the new addition. The last sentence in the lead can then be "Code42’s Instructor is an integrated [[microlearning]] tool that allows security teams to send out security training videos to teach employees how to manage risk.<ref name="helpnet"/>"
4) The first sentence in the Sepember 2020 history could be simplified "In September 2020, Code42 launched Incydr, a [[SaaS]] data protection tool for enterprises."
5) Please add this section chronologically to the history section: "On September 14, 2021, Code42 launched Code42 Instructor, a microlearning solution that improves insider risk awareness by training companies to be security-oriented.<ref name="helpnet"/> Instructor was later integrated with Incydr to allow company risk awareness teams to immediately send corrective lessons when risky employee behavior is detected.<ref name="helpnet"/>"
6) Please add this section to the end of the history section. It simplifies the explanation of what happend to CrashPlan. "In August 2022, Code42 announced that it had sold the CrashPlan side of its business to New York-based [[private equity]] firm Mill Point Capital to focus exclusively on the cybersecurity market.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bizjournals.com/twincities/inno/stories/news/2022/08/04/crashplan-code42-separation-mill-point.html|title=Data backup, recovery service CrashPlan separates from Code42, acquired by Mill Point Capital|website=The Business Journals|first=Caitlin|last=Anderson|date=August 4, 2022|accessdate=August 24, 2023}}</ref> With the move, CrashPlan became its own entity, known as CrashPlan Group (CPG).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.privateequitywire.co.uk/2022/08/04/316562/mill-point-capital-completes-carve-out-crashplan-group|title=Mill Point Capital completes carve-out of CrashPlan Group|website=Private Equity Wire|first=|last=|date=August 4, 2022|accessdate=August 24, 2023}}</ref>"
7) Please delete the entire "Business" section. It's out of date, and not particularly useful for readers. The only line that is somewhat current can go into the history section. "In 2020, Code42's [[SaaS]] business was $100 million annually.<ref name="Tsidulko"/>"
8) Please move the CrashPlan info to a new CrashPlan article. That's every paragraph in the products and services section starting with the third.
9) Please replace the first paragraph with this content. It makes the info more concise, and puts it all in one pagragraph. "Code42 is the maker of Incydr, software that allows security teams to mitigate file exposure and exfiltration risks without disrupting collaboration.<ref name="Faulds"/> Incydr displays information about what data is relevant, including how, when and where that data is moving, and who is moving it.<ref name="Faulds"/> It monitors the movement of all files, whether the activity is within a company’s security protocols or not, and captures a copy of all exfiltrated files for security teams to reference.<ref name="Faulds"/> Even though Incydr monitors all file activity, it distinguishes between acceptable team collaboration and file sharing and events that represent risks to businesses.<ref name="Faulds"/>"
10) Please add this second paragraph about the company's second product."Code42 also develops Instructor, a microlearning security tool which is available as a standalone product, or integrated with Incydr.<ref name="helpnet"/> It allows security teams to improve insider risk awareness by offering short training videos that can be sent to employees engaging in risky behaviors that may leave valuable company IP vulnerable.<ref name="helpnet"/> Video distribution can be targeted proactively to a general audience, situationally for specific users, or in response to risky behavior identified by employee activity.<ref name="helpnet"/>"
11) Please remove the See also section with the * [[Comparison of online backup services]] category as no longer applicable to the company.
12) Please remove the * [https://www.crashplan.com/ Crashplan website] link from external links, as it is no longer applicable to the company.
13) Please remove the [[Category:Backup software]] category, as no longer applicable.

Thank you for at least partially implementing the requests. I'm sorry if my request was confusing. I'll rewrite and post with more clarity. In the meantime, I'd like to add another request to upload the new company logo and add it to the article. Please see below. VivGrace9 (talk) 18:59, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

 Done VivGrace9 I completed the leftover edits. I didn't create a standalone CrashPlan article, but did put the content in my sandbox to preserve it. You and anyone else are welcome to ping me with suggestions to improve it, and we can collaborate. STEMinfo (talk) 23:34, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

Edit Request to upload logo

Can someone please upload the new company logo and replace the one that is currently in the article? It can be saved and uploaded from this link. I believe if it is too high resolution that the system will automatically reduce the size. Thanks. VivGrace9 (talk) 18:59, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

 Done @VivGrace9: I also saw your request above. I can figure out some of the incomplete items as originally posted. I'll let you know if you need to clarify anything. STEMinfo (talk) 19:40, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
