Acronis and Renault Sport Racing announced an innovative technology partnership in Paris this week. Acronis will provide cloud storage, backup, and active ransomware protection for the Renault Sport Racing IT infrastructure. Alain Prost, four-time F1 world champion and co-owner of Renault e.dams Formula E Team, welcomed Acronis partnership: “We are happy to have Acronis as a partner, as they share our values and passions for innovation. Every team needs data to improve performance and technology. Acronis makes sure every bit of our data is protected and accessible to us when we need it.”

Acronis released the latest version of its easy, complete, and safe enterprise file access and sharing solution, Acronis Files Advanced 8.0. The new release is designed to increase user productivity and give IT pros complete control over business content, specifically the data that is shared and accessed remotely from employees’ mobile devices.

Users of CCleaner for Windows, a maintenance and file clean-up tool developed by Avast Piriform, are being told to update their software immediately, since it’s been discovered that hackers had installed a backdoor in the official application that would allow additional malware to be added to the infected system. The ability of cybercriminals to access user systems by adding malware into official software builds of trusted vendors is a major red flag. Protecting your data just got even more critical, so here’s what you need to know.

Acronis – Scuderia Toro Rosso partnership powers on! Three years ago Scuderia Toro Rosso supported the opening of Acronis International Headquarters in Singapore as guests. This week, the drivers and the team’s IT key members joined the celebration as partners, celebrating Acronis’ Singaporean origin and demonstrating the benefits of using Acronis’ technology in motor racing.
