That means that now, more than ever, it’s critical to be managing cash well. But crisis cash management is different than day-to-day management when profits are high and cash flow is steady. The fundamentals of managing your business don’t change during a crisis regardless of what causes that crisis. Whether the cause is a natural disaster, ransomware attack, keyman illness, or a pandemic-induced recession like COVID-19, there are real, practical, and effective ways to respond to ensure the survival of your business in the short and long term.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/4-steps-manage-your-msp-business-during-crisis/)

There was a lot of territory to cover: from looking at the current state of the channel to how many in the channel may (or may not) survive the economic hardship to examining the real opportunities the pandemic has created for MSPs. I’ll recap our conversation below and you can watch the full interview as well, but long story short: while many in the channel will struggle to survive, there are also tremendous opportunities ahead.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/post-covid-landscape-msps-chat-forresters-jay-mcbain/)

Because if your drive fails, any data stored on it can be lost forever. All hard drives will fail at some point. While this is particularly true of traditional, magnetic disk hard drives (a.k.a. hard disk drives or HDD), newer solid state drives (SSD) that use flash memory also face issues once their memory cells start to fail. Several factors can lead to errors in these data storage devices. For complete cyber protection, ensuring the stability and reliability of your drive is critical to safeguarding your data.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/cyber-protection-includes-predicting-disk-drive-failures-acronis-ai/)

As expensive as it is to change tools, if the benefits outweighed the pain of switching, I was all over it. Today, protecting your clients from cyberthreats has become a full-time job. Exploits are created every minute of every day, making it practically impossible for most IT service providers to keep pace to counter them all. Now more than ever, MSPs need modern tools to manage modern threats.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/msp-pioneer-answers-question-why-did-you-join-acronis/)

The goal of the study was to get an up-to-date view on what cybersecurity and backup services are currently offered, what features matter most, what future plans they might have to expand their offerings, and what business, operational, and technical challenges make it harder for MSPs to execute. Naturally, we also wanted the perspective of MSPs and real data about the IT channel’s capabilities and concerns before launching Acronis Cyber Platform. It seems we’ve rolled out this new service just in time.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/announcing-2020-msp-cybersecurity-readiness-survey-results/)

Users who regularly back up their files are familiar with the concept since Acronis always recommends to store data in an encrypted form. Doing so protects your data in transit to a local server or to the cloud, and it protects data when it is being stored on different media. If someone gains access to your file – either accidentally or maliciously – that person won't be able to read it or easily decrypt it if strong encryption algorithms like AES-256 are used.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/full-disk-encryption/)
