Yet, not many cloud users realize that the cloud data also needs protection. According to various reports, a whopping 80 percent of organizations using cloud services have lost business data.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/acronis-backup-12-closer-look-amazon-ec2-backup/)

Last week, we offered a high-level overview of the malware menace known as ransomware: what it’s like to be victimized by a ransomware attack (it’s no fun to discover that your hard drive has been encrypted by a malicious program), how the criminals extort money from businesses and consumers (if you don’t pay an online ransom, you never get your files back), and how big this illegal business has become (ransomware criminals will extort $1B from victims in 2016, says the FBI).](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/ransomware-bootleg-liquor-21st-century/)

Carlos Sainz of Scuderia Toro Rosso looks on as the race engineers prepare his STR11 for a practice session at the Singapore Grand Prix on September 16, 2016. (Getty Images / Red Bull Content Pool) I’ve been following F1 for more than 20 years. It started when I was in college back in the Nineties. Watching all-time great racers like Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher reach the stars of the F1 firmament made me admire their dedication and skill as well as the technology behind their cars. Being a geek myself, I began to dig deeper into the sport, trying to uncover what makes one team better than another on the track.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/what-does-data-protection-have-do-motorsport/)

You work with your supplier or vendor, and you like their published pricing because it matches your budget. Everything goes well… Until you get the quote (or worse, the invoice) with a much higher figure. What happened? You probably misunderstood the licensing model or there were fees and charges that you were not aware of.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/hidden-costs-backup-solutions-sockets-and-cores/)

Most time I work on a PC running Windows 10. Sometimes I use Mac for working with graphics and animation. Fro example, Keynote has some interesting animations that are easy to set up. But even when I use my Mac, I can’t work without Windows. I use a bunch of useful Windows tools not available on a Mac. So I use Parallels to run Windows on my Mac, and always have Windows open in another space.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/backing-parallels-virtual-machine-mac/)

(Part 2) Recently, we wrote about how data protection vendors force you to choose between an on-premises solution and a software-as-a-service solution. In one of our recent blog posts, we compared how choosing a backup solution should be just like choosing a car. If you want a vehicle that is good for commuting but can also accommodate off-road activities, you should buy a vehicle that does both. Fortunately, the automobile industry offers many types and models of cars to accommodate every consumer’s need. The car industry is flexible.
