If you're using your laptop for your child's homework assignments or keeping your fledgling small business going, you might be tempted to not update your device or software that often. After all, it’s getting the job done, and as the saying goes, “If it’s ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” A lot of people think this way. A recent report found that most people in 2018 are using computers that are on average six years old. Only 2.54 percent of users have a machine purchased in 2017, and nearly 75 percent of users who own a device bought it in 2011 or earlier. The problem with relying on an older computer is that updating to newer software – from apps to operating systems – can become more difficult. More importantly, relying on outdated operating systems, file- and print-sharing utilities, and applications can expose your computer and all the data you keep on it to tremendous risks.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/weak-link-why-saving-money-using-outdated-software-puts-data-risk/) [23 January 2019 — 2 min read ![Image 6: Essential Marketing Tips IT Service Providers Can’t Live Without in 2019](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/74dd033305077b8ad219667201379601.png) Essential Marketing Tips IT Service Providers Can’t Live Without in 2019 We recently asked our cloud partners what was on their 2019 wish list for support – what they needed most to realize new success.

Fighting Malware in 2019 Will Be Much Easier (Just Kidding ... It Gets Way Harder) Looking back at 2018, the fight against malware showed glimmers of promise, as new technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) were successfully deployed in some quarters to fight high-priority threats like ransomware. The outlook for 2019 is less rosy, though, as malicious state actors and cybercriminals prepare for battle with a new array of tools and techniques designed to create mayhem and reap profits at the expense of everyone else.
