Information theft has always been a criminal practice, and now in the digital age, it continues to be so in an active manner. You need to know how to protect all that sensitive information, both from a private individual and from a large or small company, all information is attractive to cybercriminals.

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. Buckle up, IT security pros: the following trends indicate the anti-malware ride in 2019 is going to be a bumpy one.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/good-news-fighting-malware-2019-will-be-much-easier-just-kidding-it-gets-way-harder/)

Small and medium-sized businesses are targets of cybercrime. It may sound rigorous and scary, but it is a reality. Many think that their businesses are not going to be of interest and overlook the cybersecurity of the SMB, but in the long run, they discover that this is a mistake. Not only large companies and banks are victims of hackers. More and more SMBs regret not having made a greater effort to improve their protection and make more backups, and thus be less vulnerable to cybercriminals. How should the cybersecurity of an SMB be?](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/cyber-security-for-small-businesses/)

With this method, cybercriminals obtain very valuable data and personal information with which they can steal the identity of the victim.

No, these days, computers (and even our smartphones) help us do everything from booking reservations and conversing with friends and family to filing our taxes and everything in between. Also, let us not forget how many of us use our systems as entertainment sources with social media and video streaming. Consequently, we store and keep more data on our devices than ever before. And, if you’re like most people, a lot of that data is stuff you don’t want to lose. Therefore, in this article, we will discuss backing up your data to external hard drives and encrypted cloud storage, as well as the pros and cons of each.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/encrypted-cloud-storage/)

This is the third school built by the Foundation’s Schools Initiative in 2018 – along with schools in Myanmar and Tanzania – which illustrates the organization’s commitment to creating, spreading, and protecting knowledge around the world.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/cambodian-children-celebrate-new-school-acronis-foundation/)

Indeed, today the security, cost-effectiveness and easy scalability of the cloud compels companies to seek out and leverage solutions – which is driving tremendous growth in data center usage. In fact, the seventh annual Cisco Global Cloud Index report projects that by 2021, 94 percent of workloads and compute instances will be processed by cloud data centers and 73 percent of those instances will be in public cloud data centers. When it comes to cloud storage, the landscape is nuanced. Companies have different requirements – from how much businesses need, to where data is stored, and beyond – which makes a one-size-fits-all option quite challenging. To meet varying needs, business growth requires data-storage choice. The good news is that delivering such choice means business opportunities for IT service providers, provided they have the right partnership in place.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/acronis-microsoft-cloud-partnership-helps-supersize-service-provider-profitability/)

For those unfamiliar with it, ransomware is a type of malware that targets and infects servers, workstations and mobile devices, encrypts all the data it finds, and then presents a note demanding an online payment for the key necessary to unlock the files.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/sobering-lessons-kraussmaffei-ransomware-attack/)

That’s because unlike the other six vendors recognized as a Customers’ Choice, Acronis was not covered in Gartner’s previous Magic Quadrants for Backup and Recovery. Instead, Acronis earned the recognition as Peer Insights Customers’ Choice because actual product users submitted enough high-quality testimonials and scores to get the company added to the awards list.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/guest-blog-backup-customers-choice-important-recognition-2018-must-evolve-future/)

[28 November 2018 — 4 min read ![Image 13: Cryptojacking: The Petty Cyber Crime Hiding a Deadly Threat](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/bd62a55daae50fdec0d6a6b238034607.png) Cryptojacking: The Petty Cyber Crime Hiding a Deadly Threat One of the fastest-growing malware threats of the past 18 months affects half of the businesses in the world, and most of them don’t know it. It’s called cryptojacking, an unintended consequence of the booming popularity of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Most victims don’t notice that they’ve been hit by cryptojacking because its adverse effects are relatively inconsequential: it just steals CPU cycles from your computer, as well as the electricity required to power it. Getting hit by ransomware -- a similarly-pervasive and fast-growing but much more destructive malware threat -- is like a roundhouse punch to the face: your files get locked up with encryption until you pay some distant criminal hundreds or thousands of dollars for the key. Compared to ransomware, cryptojacking seems more like a mosquito bite: an annoyance, not a grave threat. But the harsh reality is that like disease-carrying insects, some cryptojackers bring lethal friends along with them.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/cryptojacking-petty-cyber-crime-hiding-deadly-threat/)
