The modern digital world is always evolving and businesses of all sizes – from start-ups to global enterprises to service providers – need to stay on the forefront of technology to compete. One of the best ways to do that is to stay connected with the IT community at conferences around the world. These events offer invaluable hands-on experiences with tech innovations, insights from experts and industry leaders, and countless opportunities to network with peers at all career stages.

Acronis is known for providing organizations of all sizes with the cutting-edge cyber protection solutions that keep them #CyberFit in today’s increasingly volatile digital landscape. That leadership is why so many teams in data-driven sports around the world choose Acronis as their technology partner – and our newest such partner is the San Diego Padres. Under the multi-year agreement, Acronis will provide cyber protection to safeguard the team’s data and optimize workflows to improve their performance both on and off the field.

While most of the world was readying their New Years' Eve celebrations, Travelex was facing a devastating ransomware attack. In the early hours of December 31, the FinabIr-owned foreign exchange company was hit with Sodinokibi, a powerful ransomware strain that rendered Travelex websites in 20 countries inaccessible and left its airport outlets without access to the internet or email.  Travelex IT teams have been working since New Year’s Eve to restore the affected systems and isolate the virus. Travelex has declined to comment on whether it will pay the ransom but, either way, this is not a good look for Travelex.
