Security is complicated: How modern MSPs turn chaos into opportunity
Yesterday’s managed services provider (MSP) had a typical stack at the core of their managed services offering. The main goal was uptime and reliability, so this stack consisted of RMM, professional services automation (PSA), AV, backup and DR, network operations center (NOC), and help desk. Today some MSPs include a managed security services provider (MSSP) stack that consists of eight to 10 more solutions. That’s 10 to 20 different vendors, software, and dashboards to manage, none of which are designed to work together. MSPs have to train their techs, manage their vendors, and just hope that nothing falls through the cracks that would put their clients at risk. So how does a modern MSP deliver security and protection effectively now that they are the only things that matter?

The new rhythm for Acronis Cyber Cloud releases
Acronis has moved away from big, version-based launches of the Acronis Cyber Cloud platform, and switched to a new cadence of monthly updates to the MSP services platform. Since the 9.0 release, when Acronis Cyber Platform was introduced, there have already been two product updates —July’s release is the third. These rapid improvements brought a number of highly demanded cyber protection features to help you successfully adjust your clients to working remotely without sacrificing their protection. Going forward, we’ll have smaller but more frequent releases. This approach will simplify and speed up the adoption of new capabilities — each release will have fewer changes, making it easier to learn and implement. The shortened planning and development cycle will enable us to quickly address changes in the current work environment, so we can deliver the most demanded features and innovations in Acronis products every month.

Backdoor wide open: critical vulnerabilities uncovered in GeoVision
Research by Kevin Reed, Acronis CISO; Alex Koshelev, Acronis Security Researcher; Ravikant Tiwari, Acronis Senior Security Researcher When a security manufacturer learns of critical vulnerabilities in their devices, there is an expectation they’ll act quickly to fix the problem.

4 Steps to Manage Your MSP Business During A Crisis
In the managed service provider (MSP) channel, Forrester tells us that about 25% of service providers are running at break-even, even during great economic times. 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.
