What Is Blockchain and What Does It Mean for Data Protection?
Blockchain is a technology that underpins the success of Bitcoin and other digital currencies. Wall Street is particularly interested in blockchain: The elimination of manual processes around reconciliation with customers, trading partners, and securities exchanges using blockchain is projected to save banks nearly $20 billion annually by 2022. Blockchain has uses beyond financial transactions to improve the security and efficiencies of a range of business activities such as applications requiring transparency on data and documents with a permanent time and date stamp. In insurance, for example, blockchain technology can be used for customer onboarding, smart contracts, and fraud detection. In manufacturing, blockchain is being used in supply chain applications and 3D printing. To better understand blockchain, let’s first look at why blockchain is so important and how it ensures the integrity and efficiency of the Bitcoin network. Then, we will look at how Acronis provides a solution that uses blockchain to record and protect the authenticity of your business assets.

Why Formula 1 Is Important, Even if You Are Not into Motorsports

Why Formula 1 Is Important, Even if You Are Not into Motorsports
For some, the beauty of Formula 1 is all about its sporting aspects. For others, it’s all about technology, the incredible innovation behind the world’s most technology-driven sport. But the reality is that you can’t separate the two. Formula 1 is at once about sport, technology and innovation. And what may seem like an expensive hobby for wealthy tinkerers and daring racers actually has a trickle-down effect on our everyday lives. Formula 1 is a massive research and development powerhouse. Technologies developed within the closed walls of F1 team factories find their way into other industries, making our lives simpler, safer and more efficient. Here are a few obvious (and some not-so-obvious) examples of Formula 1 technology that has made its way into our everyday lives: 1. Tyres. Pirelli, the sole tyre supplier for all Formula 1 teams, has conducted an enormous amount of R&D over the years. The tyre technology developed for Formula 1 — soft tyres with more grip or hard tyres that last longer — is also used for road cars. If you have a set of Pirellis on your car outside, the Formula 1 technology has followed you home.

How Do You Create the World’s Fastest Backup?
According to the latest findings by an independent testing lab, Acronis Backup 12 is up to two times faster than the leading competitor, as well as the other well-known vendor. So how does one vendor create a solution that is so much faster than others in creating backups and performing recoveries? It’s a simple three-ingredient recipe. Step 1: Technologies and Innovations First, you need to invent a good amount of high-quality technologies – like live disk imaging backup, recovery to dissimilar hardware, Acronis Instant Restore™, and so on. Don’t forget to apply for and get 100+ data protection technology patents. Remember the quality – innovative data protection know-how can be extremely complex, yet have to be delivered to customers via an easy-to-use interface.

Disaster at the Devil's Tower
“Never update your system on Friday, 13th or on Halloween”. I knew the rule, I remembered it – but decided to ignore. I went ahead and began updating a few systems on October 31. I started the procedure late and with the last-minute requests and unruly users, my day has got away. I knew the update would go late into the night.

Lessons in Beating Ransomware From a Jedi Master
Luke Skywalker: I'm not afraid! Yoda: Ehh. You will be. You will be. (The Empire Strikes Back) If you’re not yet worried about ransomware, wait a little while. Given the meteoric rise of this new malware threat, it is inevitable that you or someone you know will suffer from an attack that can disrupt your business for days and costs thousands of dollars to mitigate. If you don’t know anything about the subject, you’re in decent company: a recent study showed that 60% of US office workers have no idea what ransomware is or how much of a threat it poses to businesses.

Service Providers: Fight Ransomware, Become a Superhero to Your Customers
We’ve spend the last few weeks examining various aspects of ransomware, a type of malware that encrypts computer hard drives and demands an online ransom of hundreds or thousands of dollars for the decryption key, without which users can never access their files again. In both its effectiveness and its astonishingly rapid proliferation, it represents a unique new threat both to consumers and businesses
