Cerber Ransomware Is Not on Vacation This Summer
The latest Cerber ransomware easily bypasses traditional defenses. The analyzed Cerber sample was only detected as a suspicious malicious object by nine out of 64 antiviruses on the first submission to Virustotal.

Scuderia Toro Rosso Deploys Acronis Access Advanced for Secure Data Sharing
Formula 1 teams share large amounts of data between racing locations, home base, and partners. Scuderia Toro Rosso is no exception. With a small army of trackside engineers and hundreds of devices following the racing calendar around the globe, the data flow never stops. Some data, like telemetry, pumps through the standard channels for a live feed at the factory. Other information, race-specific calculations and sensitive data, may fall outside of the always-on telemetry stream and require extra attention. While there’s always been sufficient security in place, secure data exchange required manual setup, which prompted Scuderia Toro Rosso to deploy Acronis Access Advanced to streamline the process.

Acronis Protects Critical Infrastructure From Zero-Day Malware Attacks
If you are interested in cybersecurity, you may remember Stuxnet, an infamous worm which stopped uranium enrichment plants in Iran back in 2010.
