How MSPs Can Leverage the Power of Platform Integration to Grow, Thrive, and Profit
The typical managed service provider (MSP) faces a daunting array of obstacles to building a successful, sustainable and profitable business.

We’ve outlined the opportunities to MSPs in deploying broader suites of cyber protection services as well and tactics to address the accompanying integration challenges in a new white paper titled The Five Levels of MSP Platform Integration.

Importance of self-defense in cybersecurity software proven yet again
At Acronis, we’ve taken the ability for security software to defend itself seriously right from the start.

Of course, we continue to improve our technologies with every release and constantly research what we can improve in all aspects of cyber protection. Given our mission of delivering cyber protection solutions that ensure the safety, accessibility, privacy, authenticity, and security (SAPAS) of data, in preparing for our upcoming Acronis Cyber Platform launch, we improved the self-defense capabilities even further.

Energy Sector Giant Struck by $11M Ransomware Demand

This is an incredible accomplishment and a testament to our country’s ability to work together when faced with a crisis the likes of which we have not seen before. Acronis' Amy Luby just spoke to the CEO of Lendio, Brock Blake, and two MSP business owners, Amy Babinchak and Lori Tisinai, about the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, who it is for, and what the best strategies are for accessing those funds.

In both instances, people have a lot of questions. On Wednesday, April 15, 2020, from 13:00-15:00 CET, Acronis is holding an online event with experts who will address the latest updates on the spread of COVID-19, how we can protect ourselves from infection, and what steps we should be taking to counter the cyberattacks that are increasing in the pandemic’s wake.

As COVID-19 Spreads, So Do Ransomware and Cryptomining Attacks
In light of the unfortunate and devastating spread of the COVID-19 pandemic – and the spike in cyberattacks in its wake – the need for cyber protection is even clearer. That need is particularly acute for the people and companies who had fallen behind in the cybersecurity race due to budget constraints or lack of attention. Now that individuals are deeply stressed, cybercriminals are using every angle of attack, including playing on the natural fear of COVID-19 and the desperate search for information. In the last two weeks, Acronis has seen a significant increase in cryptojacking, while ransomware attacks are growing rapidly as well.
