Highlights from the Acronis #CyberFit Summit in Abu Dhabi
Rich with learning, training and networking, partners raved about the now-complete Acronis #CyberFit Summit saying the event was “perfect,” “very insightful,” and “important to be here” with “great organization” and “lots of information.” Indeed, from November 27 - 28, service providers and business IT professionals convened to get hands-on insights about the latest cyber protection innovations that will help shape the future of the IT industry –  and fun and enjoyment were not in short supply either. From the robust lineup of trainings that kicked off the Summit’s first day to a second day that began with a dramatic Acronis Cyber Dragon Cup soccer face-off and followed with insightful presentations, an eye-opening panel discussion, and two breakout session learning tracks, attendees had a full and informative experience. The occasion concluded with a memorable Women in Tech Gala Reception too.

Ryuk Ransomware Strikes Again: Second Outbreak Hits Louisiana
Ryuk ransomware continues to wreak havoc – and one U.S. state in particular recently suffered from another successful attack that likely could have been prevented. Several school districts and government offices in Louisiana were hit by an attack this summer. Unfortunately, the story was just repeated as several state agencies fell victim to another attack on November 18. In this case, the cyberattack shut down systems in the governor’s office, the Department of Motor Vehicles, the Department of Health, and The Department of Children and Family Services.

Acronis #CyberFit Summit Kicks Off in Abu Dhabi
Given the Middle East’s rapid ascent as a global technology center, the region has become an attractive, target-rich environment for cybercriminals. In fact, one recent report showed a 12% year-over-year increase in malware attacks in the UAE during the first three months of 2019. With 6,000 resellers promoting and using Acronis technology in the region, the Middle East is becoming one of the fastest-growing markets for Acronis. That’s why we’re hosting this week’s Acronis #CyberFit Summit in Yas Island Rotana, Abu Dhabi, spreading the cyber protection revolution to this flourishing market.

The Cyber Protection Revolution: More Than A Name Change
In the wake of the Acronis Global Cyber Summit 2019, there’s been a lot of excitement, as well as some changes at Acronis that have prompted questions from customers, resellers, and our managed service provider (MSP) partners. Most notably, they want to know “Why has Acronis changed the names of your products?” It’s true. During the past month, we’ve been updating the names of nearly all of our solutions to include the word “cyber” – and the addition has caught many people by surprise. So what’s the reasoning behind the change?

Understanding Modern Cyber Protection: What You Need to Know
The modern world is more dependent upon data than at any time in history. That means safeguarding data – and the applications and systems that rely on data – is vital for individuals and organizations alike. Unfortunately, traditional backup and cybersecurity solutions are no longer enough because they cannot keep up with today’s threats. The world needs modern solutions that can protect data, applications, and systems. Acronis has been advocating a new approach called cyber protection, which combines the best of data protection with innovative approaches to cybersecurity, while incorporating technologies that ensure the privacy and authenticity of data. Let’s explore the basics of cyber protection.

The Transition From Mozy To Carbonite Leaves Users Wanting More

The Transition From Mozy To Carbonite Leaves Users Wanting More
When Carbonite acquired Mozy for $145 million more than a year ago, the news understandably spooked many long-time Mozy customers and service provider partners. What would happen to their data? Would their costs increase? What kind of support could they expect? Carbonite made a good show of trying to ease concerns, but communications were apparently less than ideal. Many Mozy users were surprised when Carbonite started being installed on their systems – and based on the reports we’ve been hearing from users and our managed service provider (MSPs) partners, the migration experience has not been smooth. Since their backup solution is going to change regardless, now is a perfect time for former Mozy users to consider alternatives like Acronis, which offers several advantages over Carbonite.

It’s Happenin’: #ITNConnect19
The floor is buzzing at the first full day of IT Nation Connect in Orlando and the Acronis team is having some great conversations as nearly 3,000 MSP professionals are roaming the show floor. As Gold Sponsors of this year’s event, it’s great to hear that so many attendees who are looking to expand their business are finding value in the program and their interactions with different vendors. And since today is also Halloween, plenty of our peers are having fun with costumes and candy, making the show floor as festive as it is informative.  While visiting Acronis at Booth #108, attendees expressed a lot of interest in many of the presentations that directly touched on concerns facing MSPs – particularly those regarding the rise in cyberthreats that Acronis has been addressing.
