We wanted to know their current thinking about and approach to keeping data and systems safe, accessible, private, authentic, and secure (SAPAS) today. And the results are revealing for our service provider partners too, shedding light on what their clients are particularly concerned with – and investing in – when it comes to protection today. Here’s a quick look at how these pros approach data protection, what’s keeping them up at night given the current threat landscape, and what can be done so they can rest easier.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/world-cyber-protection-week-survey-reveals-most-it-pros-back-their-data-still-cant-sleep-night/) [12 March 2020 — 2 min read Acronis Blog ![Image 6: Acronis Global Cyber Summit 2019: Day 1 Highlights](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/8d171c9d5dce1ca04801e22dc732de75.png) Empowering MSPs: IT and Channel Leaders to Present Two Virtual Conferences This Spring We all know “Knowledge is power.” For organizations, that means keeping up with the latest protection strategies, security technologies, and cyberthreats – because their revenue depends on it. When it comes to delivering IT services, the stakes are even higher because service providers have to deliver the IT solutions that keep their clients in business. Unfortunately, whether the limitation comes from budget, staff or time constraints, or an unexpected global health threat like the novel coronavirus Covid-19, there’s always something that blocks access to the information that can optimize your work and help grow your business. That changes with our no-fee, no-travel Acronis Cyber Protection Virtual Conference, which features an eye-catching group of IT leaders and seasoned service providers who share practical, actionable insights – and explain why they believe cyber protection is the way forward.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/empowering-msps-it-and-channel-leaders-present-two-virtual-conferences-spring/) [13 December 2019 — 7 min read Acronis Blog ![Image 7: Growing the Channel: 16 Critical Conferences in 2020](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/701297a7531d17743bf6f7c5f50e97c8.png) Growing the Channel: 16 Critical Conferences in 2020 As you look at your 2020 calendar and investigate which conferences are worth investing in, there are a few ways to narrow your search. You might want to pick a specific subject area where you need to ramp up your knowledge, skills, and resources. Those areas might include DevOps, cybersecurity, or the new IT discipline of cyber protection, which covers both. You might also want to look more broadly determine which opportunities might best fit your business. No matter where you are in your business’ evolution or how large or small your organization is, the most beneficial conferences offer opportunities to learn, network, and explore – enabling you to meet the IT pros who have been in your shoes. After all, learning from others' mistakes, gaining actionable insights from experts, and seeing the advances in tools offered by vendors is the best way to make your business more productive, more profitable, and better prepared for the future.

These parties measure the actual performance and protection of competing solutions. These studies can be vital, providing the kind of unvarnished, professional analysis that most MSPs, VARs and IT pros cannot do on their own – helping them determine whether or not the vendor they use (or are considering) will protect data against today’s threat landscape.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/decisions-decisions-how-msps-can-use-third-party-reports-when-considering-ransomware-solutions/) [23 October 2019 — 3 min read Acronis Blog ![Image 10: Acronis Cyber Cloud 8.0 Delivers Enterprise-Grade Features for Service Providers, Plus DRaaS](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/74dd033305077b8ad219667201379601.png) Acronis Cyber Cloud 8.0 Delivers Enterprise-Grade Features for Service Providers, Plus DRaaS To stay competitive and grow today, service providers need to ensure all customers stay #CyberFit.

A report from Deloitte determined that all but 10% of businesses will fail without a disaster recovery plan in place. What’s more amazing is that 75% of all small businesses don’t have any disaster recovery plan. Perhaps these business owners see headlines about natural disasters and catastrophic downtime and – in misguided denial – think, “It won’t happen to me.” Since not everyone could be among the more than 1,000 IT pros and business owners who attended the Disaster Recovery Journal fall conference this week, we thought it would be a good opportunity to review the basics of modern disaster recovery planning. After all, it’s never too late to get serious about the threats that are out there and always a good time to plan for the worst.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/spoiler-alert-disaster-has-many-faces-chance-favors-prepared/) [1](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/authors/rebecca-schimmoeller/page/1/) [2](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/authors/rebecca-schimmoeller/page/2/) [3](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/authors/rebecca-schimmoeller/page/3/)
