The largest gathering of cyber protection professionals officially gets underway today at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach Resort in Florida, as the Acronis Global Cyber Summit 2019 kicks off. After months of anticipation, the cyber protection revolution starts in earnest with more than 1,000 registrants – including cybersecurity experts, CIOs, IT pros, MSPs, value-added resellers, and ISVs and developers – joining the two-and-a-half-day conference in order to explore modern approaches to protecting critical data assets and systems.   The next couple of days promise to be highly educational and entertaining, so let’s look at some of the anticipated highlights that will happen between now and Wednesday.

The cyber protection revolution begins tomorrow! The largest community of cyber protection professionals are gathering to discuss and shape the future of our industry. And you have a front-row seat. Whether you’re already en route to sunny Miami or you’re going to be following along and joining the conversation online, here’s a preview of what’s in store from the first-ever Acronis Global Cyber Summit.

Acronis was honored to be featured in this year’s Gartner 2019 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Datacenter Backup and Recovery Solutions. Admittedly, we were disappointed to see our position on the quadrant – especially given our unique vision and successful practical execution of fusing cybersecurity with backup in order to establish a new standard of comprehensive protection: Cyber Protection. Then again, visionaries and innovators rarely fit existing metrics – instead we influence the standards that drive the future of their industries. Let’s take a moment to examine Acronis’ position in the Enterprise Backup and Recovery sector.

When considering their options for cloud backup solutions, users understandably want to know how each will actually perform in real life. The challenge is knowing which solution will create reliable backups, perform seamlessly, and back up to the cloud quickly. In short, they want a solution that will cause the least amount of frustration while providing the best data protection. MRG Effitas – a well-known independent testing laboratory and a member of the Anti-Malware Testing Standards Organization (AMTSO) – recently conducted a performance test of popular cloud backup solutions. Their independent testing revealed Acronis True Image 2020 is clearly the fastest personal backup – up to 13-times faster than the competition.
