The good news is that Microsoft’s proactive communications means you can take precautions to protect your data before you initiate the update. Use these seven tips to manage any changes ahead, whether it’s a standard Win 10 update, if your one of the 35% of companies upgrading from Win 7, or you’re coping with any future system update.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/7-tips-make-windows-updates-error-proof-instead-error-prone/)

This early access is designed to encourage expanded functionality and application integrations by developers while giving them access to Acronis’ large ecosystem.

The data economy and its key driver, the democratization of data, is changing the competitive landscape everywhere. New industries are being built while traditional industries and business models are being destroyed. In addition, the amount of data and the the number of data sources is exploding because there are more apps, more “things”, more analysis of data, and more places to store data. As a result, most organizations are falling way behind in their ability to manage and protect data. When transforming to be a “data-driven” digital transformation success story in your market space, it’s critical to remember – your team, your partners, your investors and your customers depend on your organization to effectively protect data from loss, theft and manipulation.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/acronis-cyber-platform-handing-keys-developers/)

Everyone knows that change can be difficult. From minor things like always eating the same food to serious examples like staying at a bad job, our comfort zone makes it difficult to try new things – even when we know the change will be good for us in the long run. The same is true in the software industry, where companies increasingly are replacing the one-time-purchase license for their product with cloud-based subscriptions. And while some customers might prefer buying a box and keeping the installation CD on the shelf, the benefits users gain from subscriptions are driving the subscription revolution. We thought we’d take a look at the differences between traditional one-time purchases (called perpetual licenses) and subscriptions, so you can decide which approach fits your company’s needs when looking at a solution.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/subscriptions-vs-perpetual-licenses-whats-right-you/)

Kennedy delivered a speech that cited an ancient Chinese curse: “May [you] live in interesting times.” He continued, “Like it or not, we live in interesting times. They are times of danger and uncertainty, but they are also the most creative of any time in the history of mankind.” That measured perspective, simultaneously seeing the glass as half-empty and half-full, is a useful one to adopt when considering infrastructure vulnerabilities in 2019.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/defend-infrastructure-focus-first-obvious-vulnerabilities/)

Acronis calls this next generation of digital defense “cyber protection.” Now Acronis is bringing together the world’s largest community of cyber protection professionals at a two-and-a-half-day conference committed to improving the protection of critical digital assets and systems. The Acronis Global Cyber Summit 2019 will be held at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach Resort on October 13–16, 2019, and it promises to be the must-attend event for IT infrastructure managers, CIOs, service providers, value-added resellers, ISVs, and developers.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/announcing-acronis-global-cyber-summit-2019-mobilizing-future-cyber-protection/)

This means that managed service providers (MSPs) need the right tools to stay in the game – and ahead of the competition – to facilitate this process for customers and capture some of the projected $186.4 billion cloud computing market. Next week at CloudFest 2019, Acronis will join 7,000 global cloud, hosting, and service provider industry pros to share IT solutions that enable MSPs to solve pressing, complex customer problems. Here’s a preview of what will be top-of-mind at Acronis’ CloudFest booth #F04.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/celebrating-advanced-tech-and-differentiation-paradox-cloudfest-2019/)

You’d Better Take Data Security Seriously](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/30ed349a67c19cf8c26685d868f90f47.png) Want to Keep Your Job, Mr. CEO? You’d Better Take Data Security Seriously Nearly every week during the past few years has featured a headline about the latest data breach, malware attack, ransomware demand, or unrecoverable corporate data loss. Those stories are frequently followed by news that the CEOs at those high-profile companies were forced to resign. Security concerns have become a critical business problem, yet they are still handled as a technical problem – mainly by IT departments. Thankfully, many organizations have started bringing together IT executives and non-IT leadership together to reshape their approach towards security concerns. CEOs need to know what they should worry about when it comes to protecting the company’s data against cybercriminals and malware – and there are plenty of high-profile examples they can learn from.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/want-keep-your-job-mr-ceo-youd-better-take-data-security-seriously/)

Does your computer repeatedly reboot at random or randomly shut down and won't start again for several minutes?

What Should I Do?](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/74dd033305077b8ad219667201379601.png) My Computer Is Running Hot. What Should I Do? First of all, taking the side of the case off a computer that is running hot will usually make the problem worse. Heat is the deadly enemy of electronic components. In extreme cases the computer will crash if it gets too hot. Even if it doesn't crash, overheating drastically shortens the life of components such as processors and hard drives.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/computer-running-hot/)

From accounting and HR, to sales and marketing, to the manufacturing line and warehouse inventory systems, everything is being instrumented and data is being captured and analyzed. The popular saying “If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it” is on the verge of being abused. Several Acronis team members and I just spent the day at IDC Directions 2019. It’s a yearly event where the IDC community of analysts meets with clients, presenting high-level summaries of their research and sharing their thoughts about where technology is heading and what we and our organizations can do prepare for the future rushing towards us. And that is a good thing.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/ai-cloud-iot-edge-5g-generating-mountains-data-thoughts-idcdirections/)
