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/) [28 May 2020 — 3 min read ![Image 10: The 2020 MSP Cybersecurity Readiness Survey Results: Exploring Current and Planned Security Capabilities](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/bd62a55daae50fdec0d6a6b238034607.png) The 2020 MSP Cybersecurity Readiness Survey Results: Exploring Current and Planned Security Capabilities We recently shared our excitement about a new research study we commissioned that looked at the trends in managed security and backup among MSPs.

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/) [15 May 2020 — 5 min read ![Image 12: Cyber Protection Includes Predicting Disk Drive Failures with Acronis AI](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/74dd033305077b8ad219667201379601.png) Cyber Protection Includes Predicting Disk Drive Failures with Acronis AI While cyber protection is most frequently discussed in relation to managing and securing operating software, it can also involve managing the hardware that stores your valuable data – namely your disk drives. 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/) [12 May 2020 — 3 min read ![Image 13: Announcing Acronis Cyber Platform #CyberFit Workload Bounty Program](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/e44479aa9902652a121944102811a7bd.png) Announcing Acronis Cyber Platform #CyberFit Workload Bounty Program Today we are announcing the Acronis Cyber Platform #CyberFit Workload Bounty Program – an initiative centered on our commitment to provide developers, ISVs, service providers, and OEMs programs that will drive greater cyber protection across more applications and systems.
