Because x360Recover is cloud and hardware agnostic, it enables Axcient's BYOD approach (Bring Your Own Device) meaning you can build or repurpose your own hardware for use as a local BDR appliance or purchase a turn-key hardware and software bundle from Axcient. Partners can purchase hardware from Axcient outright or enroll in the Axcient hardware leasing program. Additionally, BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) means that you can use the Axcient Cloud, provide your own cloud through another data center, or do both to retain multiple offsite copies of critical data. ![x360Recover with BDR-1](https://info.axcient.com/hubfs/x360Recover%20with%20BDR-1.png "x360Recover with BDR-1") ## Secure By Design, Not Config ![SecureityScorecard](https://info.axcient.com/hubfs/SecureityScorecard.png "SecureityScorecard") SecurityScorecard consistently rates the Axcient ecosystem of BCDR solutions with the highest ratings against security risk factors like Network Security, DNS Health, Patching Cadence, Endpoint Security, IP Reputation, Application Security, Cubit Score, Hacker Chatter, Information Leakage, and Social Engineering.
