Travelex Hit with Powerful Sodinokibi Ransomware Attack
While most of the world was readying their New Years' Eve celebrations, Travelex was facing a devastating ransomware attack. In the early hours of December 31, the FinabIr-owned foreign exchange company was hit with Sodinokibi, a powerful ransomware strain that rendered Travelex websites in 20 countries inaccessible and left its airport outlets without access to the internet or email.  Travelex IT teams have been working since New Year’s Eve to restore the affected systems and isolate the virus. Travelex has declined to comment on whether it will pay the ransom but, either way, this is not a good look for Travelex.

Doing Business in California? You Better Be Ready for The CCPA
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) goes into effect later this Wednesday, January 1, 2020, and if you have any customers that reside in California, you need to take steps now to protect the privacy of any sensitive information you collect on them. Fail to do so, and your business faces potential fines as well as embarrassing and costly consumer lawsuits. The good news is that if you’ve already stepped up your data privacy game for GDPR, you’re already on the path to achieving CCPA compliance, although some terminology and requirements differ.

Innovate or Die: Key Takeaways From The Edge at Gartner’s Infrastructure and Operations Conference 2019
One of the highlights of Gartner’s recent Infrastructure and Operations Conference 2019 was the opening keynote. If I had to sum up what Gartner’s three expert presenters covered in three words they would be: “Innovate or die.” Frankly, this is no big shock. Gartner (as well as IDC and Forrester) have been preaching about digital transformation for years – decades even. However, it is the accelerating pace of change that had everyone at IOCS 2019 really beating this “war drum” even louder and harder.

Acronis DRaaS Earns Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice and Singled Out in the “Voice of the Customer” Report
Customer satisfaction is the single most important aspect of any business as it leads to additional sales, reputational growth, and “word of mouth” recommendations. That’s why Acronis is honored to be named an October 2019 Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice for its Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) offering. Moreover, in the corresponding “Voice of the Customer” report that synthesizes these results, Acronis is the only company listed in the Customers’ Choice Quadrant among all companies profiled. We think this recognition from actual users of our solution is particularly noteworthy considering Acronis was not included in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Disaster Recovery as a Service this past June.
