Of course, we continue to improve our technologies with every release and constantly research what we can improve in all aspects of cyber protection. Given our mission of delivering cyber protection solutions that ensure the safety, accessibility, privacy, authenticity, and security (SAPAS) of data, in preparing for our upcoming Acronis Cyber Platform launch, we improved the self-defense capabilities even further.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/importance-self-defense-cybersecurity-software-proven-yet-again/)

But what is it? Basically it is a network security system that controls all incoming and outgoing traffic on connected machines, acting as the first line of defense against all internet threats that target local networks or particular machines.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/activate-firewall/)

The organization faces an $11 million ransom to have these systems unlocked so that they can hope to return to normal operations. Like all of the ransomware that have filled headlines in recent years, the Ragnar Locker ransomware strain used in this attack would have been detected and eliminated if EDP had Acronis Cyber Protection solutions deployed. Learn how our innovative AI-based cybersecurity technology can help prevent ransomware fallout like this from striking your organization.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/energy-sector-giant-struck-11m-ransomware-demand/)

This is an incredible accomplishment and a testament to our country’s ability to work together when faced with a crisis the likes of which we have not seen before. Acronis' Amy Luby just spoke to the CEO of Lendio, Brock Blake, and two MSP business owners, Amy Babinchak and Lori Tisinai, about the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, who it is for, and what the best strategies are for accessing those funds. Brock explained who’s eligible for the CARES Act and how Lendio is making it easy for small business owners to apply for and find the right banks.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/demystifying-cares-act-msps/)

Not only do we need to take precautions to maintain our physical well-being, but we also need to safeguard our digital lives as well against these immoral opportunists. In both instances, people have a lot of questions. On Wednesday, April 15, 2020, from 13:00-15:00 CET, Acronis is holding an online event with experts who will address the latest updates on the spread of COVID-19, how we can protect ourselves from infection, and what steps we should be taking to counter the cyberattacks that are increasing in the pandemic’s wake.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/covid-19-outbreak-what-expect-and-how-stay-cyberfit/)

That need is particularly acute for the people and companies who had fallen behind in the cybersecurity race due to budget constraints or lack of attention. Now that individuals are deeply stressed, cybercriminals are using every angle of attack, including playing on the natural fear of COVID-19 and the desperate search for information. In the last two weeks, Acronis has seen a significant increase in cryptojacking, while ransomware attacks are growing rapidly as well.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/covid-19-spreads-so-do-ransomware-and-cryptomining-attacks/)
