We wanted to know their current thinking about and approach to keeping data and systems safe, accessible, private, authentic, and secure (SAPAS) today. And the results are revealing for our service provider partners too, shedding light on what their clients are particularly concerned with – and investing in – when it comes to protection today.

And while there’s a great deal personal users, IT professionals, and service providers can learn from these survey findings, viewing them in a silo ignores some important, broader context. To offer a clearer picture of what this year’s survey means, we’ve compared our 2020 findings with responses from personal users and IT professionals in all of our previous survey iterations. This comparison presents a robust perspective of how data-defense priorities have evolved over time, and how cyber protection’s modern, comprehensive approach to safeguarding data, applications, and systems is poised to become even more necessary in the months and years ahead.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/how-cyber-protection-trends-are-evolving-2020/)

In a conventional architecture, antivirus and anti-malware solutions are essential for safeguarding and hardening against malicious attacks. The problem is that antivirus programs can be quite resource-intensive, diverting substantial computing resources away to handle malware scans. On a physical machine, this may only use a modest percentage of total computing performance capacity. On agent-based virtual machine configurations, however, this computing resource drain is often multiplied.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/agentless-antivirus-vs-agent-based-antivirus/)

In the traditional IT environment, a network switch (also called switching hub or bridging hub) is defined as a piece of hardware that utilizes packet switching to receive, process and forward data between devices within a computer network. Today, with the global rise of server virtualization, traditional network switches are being gradually replaced with software-defined network controllers (SDN switches) that rely on the code as opposed to network bridges and hardware.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/what-is-an-sdn-switch/)
