Cyber protection threats during the coronavirus pandemic
There’s no doubt that 2020 was the year for the record books! Yes, the world now knows what a viral pandemic can do but many of us have also learned what a cyber pandemic can do too. More than 80% of global companies admitted in a recent Acronis survey of 3,400 IT managers and remote workers that they were not prepared to switch to remote work to combat cyber protection threats. Furthermore, Acronis found that 92% of global companies needed to adopt new technologies to combat remote working threats.

How to remove ransomware encryption from your computer
According to the Acronis Cyberthreats Report 2020, 31 percent of companies worldwide reported being attacked during 2020. Ransomware encryption looms as one of the most prominent and dangerous of cyberthreats and with remote working dominating the landscape in 2021, it is expected that cyber-attacks will only increase. As a comparison, our experts at the Acronis Cyber Protection Operations Centers (CPOCs) discovered that more than 1,000 organizations around the world had their data leaked following a ransomware attack in 2020.

Transitioning from Reactive to Proactive: The Evolution of Disaster Recovery
During the past few decades, disaster recovery has evolved from copying every document (creating mountains of paper) to saving backups on tapes, and from recovering documents stored on floppy disks to cloud backup and recovery. What once took days or even weeks to accomplish can now take hours or mere minutes. The modern speed of disaster recovery has been spurred on by what’s happening around us, so Acronis took an “inside-out” look at what was going on in the world and how developments in disaster recovery responded in this infographic.

MSPs urged to recognize opportunities at the Acronis Global Cyber Summit
Wow. I have been involved in creating a lot of events during my career but I’ve never been involved with anything as big – or frankly as historic – as the Acronis Cyber Summit 2020. During the Summit’s three days, we welcomed more than 8,500 professionals who registered to hear 130 speakers and 20 sponsors, which means we may have pulled off what might be the largest security-focused hybrid event ever. As a former managed service provider (MSP), I was thrilled that the Summit’s mission was different than some of the vendor events I’ve attended in the past. That’s because it wasn’t focused on pitching a product, but rather it delivered the information, training, and content to help our IT channel partners grow.
