If we learned one thing in 2020, it was that time is valuable, especially when you’re trying to keep all of your clients happy, productive, and protected. Managed service providers (MSPs) don’t have time to waste on clunky platforms or solutions. They need technologies that are reliable and streamline things so they can address the next issue – or maybe even get home for dinner on time. As your partner, Acronis wants to help your team make the most out of the time you spend helping clients. That’s why, in addition to making some welcome UX improvements, we’re rolling out some time-saving capabilities in the January release of Acronis Cyber Cloud.

As a Managed Service Provider (MSP) charged with protecting your client’s data, you need to understand your clients’ vulnerability and risk and be able to answer questions such as:

Cyberthreats are more prevalent than ever and one of the most effective cyber exploits preys on outdated software, both operating systems (OSs) and applications. Cybercriminals focus on popular OSs and applications, such as Windows, Java, Adobe, and Microsoft 365, looking for vulnerabilities to exploit. This is why a patch management system is imperative.

There’s no doubt that 2020 was the year for the record books! Yes, the world now knows what a viral pandemic can do but many of us have also learned what a cyber pandemic can do too. More than 80% of global companies admitted in a recent Acronis survey of 3,400 IT managers and remote workers that they were not prepared to switch to remote work to combat cyber protection threats. Furthermore, Acronis found that 92% of global companies needed to adopt new technologies to combat remote working threats.
