MSPs: Start the new year off with time-saving improvements
If we learned one thing in 2020, it was that time is valuable, especially when you’re trying to keep all of your clients happy, productive, and protected. Managed service providers (MSPs) don’t have time to waste on clunky platforms or solutions. They need technologies that are reliable and streamline things so they can address the next issue – or maybe even get home for dinner on time. As your partner, Acronis wants to help your team make the most out of the time you spend helping clients. That’s why, in addition to making some welcome UX improvements, we’re rolling out some time-saving capabilities in the January release of Acronis Cyber Cloud.

How does vulnerability and patch management tie into cyber protection?
Cyberthreats are more prevalent than ever and one of the most effective cyber exploits preys on outdated software, both operating systems (OSs) and applications. Cybercriminals focus on popular OSs and applications, such as Windows, Java, Adobe, and Microsoft 365, looking for vulnerabilities to exploit. This is why a patch management system is imperative.

MSPs urged to recognize opportunities at the Acronis Global Cyber Summit
Wow. I have been involved in creating a lot of events during my career but I’ve never been involved with anything as big – or frankly as historic – as the Acronis Cyber Summit 2020. During the Summit’s three days, we welcomed more than 8,500 professionals who registered to hear 130 speakers and 20 sponsors, which means we may have pulled off what might be the largest security-focused hybrid event ever. As a former managed service provider (MSP), I was thrilled that the Summit’s mission was different than some of the vendor events I’ve attended in the past. That’s because it wasn’t focused on pitching a product, but rather it delivered the information, training, and content to help our IT channel partners grow.
