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?

Save data securely in the cloud with Acronis
Saving internal data securely in the cloud is the main requirement companies place on Managed Service Provider (MSP). Since damages from water or fire in the office space can destroy all computer data including backups irretrievably. However, if the data is backed up in a cloud data centre, MSP can restore it immediately in case of an emergency. In this way, data storage is in professional hands with a double backup.

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.

Everybody is vulnerable to those itchy nasties
Business continuity. The two words we strive to uphold, manage, and withstand through any crisis. But surprisingly, not every business has a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) or even a Business Continuity Management (BCM) system in place. Risk has become obsolete to them – like a mosquito, they just deal with them as and when they appear rather than putting measures in place to evade being bitten before they even have time to hatch!

What You Need to Know About Remote Work: Encrypt Everything
One of the key elements of data protection is encryption. Users who regularly back up their files are familiar with the concept since Acronis always recommends to store data in an encrypted form. Doing so protects your data in transit to a local server or to the cloud, and it protects data when it is being stored on different media. If someone gains access to your file – either accidentally or maliciously – that person won't be able to read it or easily decrypt it if strong encryption algorithms like AES-256 are used.

Hyper-V Linux: The benefits and limitations
In my 20+ years of experience in the IT industry, I’ve seen few—if any—clients who use a Windows environment exclusively. It’s a heterogeneous world.
