Empowering MSPs: IT and Channel Leaders to Present Two Virtual Conferences This Spring
We all know “Knowledge is power.” For organizations, that means keeping up with the latest protection strategies, security technologies, and cyberthreats – because their revenue depends on it. When it comes to delivering IT services, the stakes are even higher because service providers have to deliver the IT solutions that keep their clients in business. Unfortunately, whether the limitation comes from budget, staff or time constraints, or an unexpected global health threat like the novel coronavirus Covid-19, there’s always something that blocks access to the information that can optimize your work and help grow your business. That changes with our no-fee, no-travel Acronis Cyber Protection Virtual Conference, which features an eye-catching group of IT leaders and seasoned service providers who share practical, actionable insights – and explain why they believe cyber protection is the way forward.

Conference Tracks Announced for Acronis Global Cyber Summit 2020
When signing up for a conference, the ultimate goal is to walk away with new insights and actionable information that will help you in your current role, while also developing new and lasting skills. Yet too often, conferences that can sound promising often turn into a sales pitch for the sponsor’s latest product. You want to learn about the new solutions available, but the focus should be on learning. That’s why, following last year’s Acronis Global Cyber Summit, the feedback we received was so rewarding – it all revolved around the strength of the educational content: “It was a great event and not a giant sales pitch!” Now, we’re proud to say that the breakout sessions at the Acronis Global Cyber Summit 2020 that will help you get your organization #CyberFit have been set.

Cyber Chat: Getting The Boston Red Sox #CyberFit
With pitchers and catchers arriving in Fort Meyers, FL, the Boston Red Sox are starting to prepare for their 2020 season. That will involve analyzing a lot of data, all of which must be protected. Brian Shield, Vice President of Technology and IT for The Boston Red Sox, shared an in-depth look at everything IT at the Acronis Global Cyber Summit last year, which provided keen insights into how world-class, data-driven organizations safeguard their infrastructure. After his presentation, John Furrier of SiliconANGLE’s theCUBE interviewed Shield to discuss the IT needs of the Sox – from how Acronis enables Fenway Park to respond to cyberthreats to how new 5G technology is being tested at the stadium to how data is used in the MLB to detect talent and signal imminent injuries.

Snake/EKANS Ransomware Attacks Industrial Control Systems: Acronis Stops It

Snake/EKANS Ransomware Attacks Industrial Control Systems: Acronis Stops It
Ransomware continues to be an active, evolving threat and one of the newest strains to emerge is Snake (also known as EKANS, which is simply “Snake” spelled backward). First appearing at the end of December last year, the most interesting feature of Snake is that it targets industrial control systems (ICS) environments – not the individual machines, but the entire network. Designed to terminate specific processes on victim machines, including multiple items related to ICS operations, it also deletes Volume Shadow Copies to eliminate Window backups.  While there is currently no decryption available, systems running Acronis Active Protection – the AI-based anti-malware defense that is integrated into our cyber protection solutions – successfully detects Snake ransomware as a zero-day attack and stops it in its tracks.

Celebrating Data Privacy Day / Data Protection Day 2020
Do you really know how your personal information is being collected, shared, and used (or misused) on the internet? While there’s a growing awareness that we need to keep our data private, many people underestimate how valuable their personal data is. Yet there’s a reason Facebook, Google, and Amazon have built empires out of what some refer to as the data economy. A holiday was created in 2008 to commemorate the first legally binding international treaty regarding privacy and data protection. Called Data Privacy Day in the U.S. and Data Protection Day in the E.U., it’s celebrated every year on January 28 as an annual call-to-action for smarter and more responsible management of personal data.

Last year, Acronis hosted the world’s largest gathering of cyber protection professionals for a two-and-a-half-day exploration into this new IT discipline.

The Summit will run October 19-21, kicking off on Monday, October 19 with a full day of live training and certification sessions, followed by the conference’s Welcome Reception that evening. The next two days will offer high-profile keynotes and panel discussions, customer and partner advisory councils, in-depth technical breakouts, and technology showcases – all focused on strengthening the cyber protection position of organizations, service providers, and the customers they support.
