Everything you need to know about Acronis True Image 2021’s anti-malware technology, including how to turn it off – and why you shouldn’t Recent releases of Acronis True Image have included an integrated defense against ransomware, the fastest-growing cyberthreat. With the launch of Acronis True Image 2021, we expanded those capabilities to include a full range of advanced anti-malware capabilities, including real-time protection, antivirus scans, vulnerability assessment, web filtering, and videoconference app protection. In the wake of this release, a lot of you were perplexed by those additional cybersecurity features and asked what was happening with your beloved backup solution.

Such contributions are why Acronis is a member of the World Economic Forum (WEF) Centre for Cybersecurity – and why we were part of a working group that contributed to a new report released by the WEF that warns that cybersecurity failure is a “clear and present danger” and critical global threat. The WEF’s new Principles for Board Governance of Cyber Risk Report notes that while cybersecurity failures are a major threat, the responses from board directors have been fragmented, risks not fully understood, and collaboration between industries limited. Boards of directors need to play a more active role in protecting their organization from cyber risks. The new WEF report that we contributed to provides a solution to this fragmentation.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/cybersecurity-guide-boards-directors-acronis-contributes-world-economic-forum-report/) [11 March 2021 — 4 min read ![Image 4: Global sporting elite protect their edge with Acronis](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/30ed349a67c19cf8c26685d868f90f47.png) SMBs face cybersecurity challenges post-pandemic After a year of struggling to adapt to the pandemic-driven shift to remote work, rapid SaaS application adoption, and an FBI-documented 300% increase in cybersecurity attacks, small and mid-sized business (SMB) tech leaders and advisors are looking ahead with relief to a return to relative normalcy. But certain challenges are expected to remain, especially in light of their paltry budgets. In fact, Untangle’s 2020 SMB IT Security Report notes that 39% of SMBs are still investing less than $1,000 per year on IT security. Our recent panel-driven virtual conference, A New Playbook to Protect Your Users from Cyberthreats in 2021, examined how small-business IT managers anticipate that many changes wrought by the pandemic will have lasting effects on their cybersecurity strategies.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/smbs-face-cybersecurity-challenges-post-pandemic/) [19 February 2021 — 2 min read ![Image 5: Global sporting elite protect their edge with Acronis](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/30ed349a67c19cf8c26685d868f90f47.png) Global sporting elite protect their edge with Acronis What’s one thing the world’s leading sports teams have in common?

That’s why we’re so pleased to learn that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, just named two of our key team members – Patrick Hurley, Vice President and General Manager of Sales, Americas, and Amy Luby, Chief Channel Evangelist – to its 2021 list of Channel Chiefs.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/acronis-pros-recognized-2021-crn-channel-chiefs/) [02 February 2021 — 4 min read ![Image 7: Cyber protection threats during the coronavirus pandemic](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/18a373b02d45b7c3ed01a5efacfff718.png) New CyberFit Partner Program to power channel growth There’s been an unprecedented shift in how service providers and resellers are tasked with keeping their clients productive and protected. The adoption of cloud-based solutions and services was well underway before the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated that transformation. Acronis’ cloud ecosystem more than doubled since 2018. While new client demands can mean new strains for our channel partners, Acronis wants to make things easier – and more profitable – for you. That’s why we’ve unveiled the new Acronis #CyberFit Partner Program.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/new-cyberfit-partner-program-power-channel-growth/) [01 February 2021 — 3 min read ![Image 8: Pulse of the MSP 2021: Survey reveals trends in the IT Channel](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/bd62a55daae50fdec0d6a6b238034607.png) Pulse of the MSP 2021: Survey reveals trends in the IT Channel Acronis recently conducted a survey with managed service providers (MSPs) as a follow-up to our in-depth research project last year to take the current pulse of the industry. Unsurprisingly, the results of our survey reveal that the MSP market is undergoing a significant transformation – particularly as the trends that were already in play were accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Let’s take a quick look at the top findings from this Pulse of the MSP 2021 report.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/pulse-msp-2021-survey-reveals-trends-it-channel/) [21 January 2021 — 2 min read ![Image 9: Cyber protection threats during the coronavirus pandemic](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/18a373b02d45b7c3ed01a5efacfff718.png) D&H Distributing empowers SMB-focused MSPs with Acronis Cyber Protection Solutions There’s always been a tension between the haves and the have-nots. In the business world, large enterprises often have security technologies in place that small and mid-sized organizations cannot access. But thanks to a new partnership agreement, those resellers who focus on small businesses and the managed service providers (MSPs) who handle IT for SMB clients can now provide access to the same cyber protection technologies that the world’s leading companies and professional sports teams rely on. That’s because D&H Distributing, a leading provider of SMB and consumer technologies to the North American high-tech channel, has formed a new partnership with Acronis to make our comprehensive range of cyber protection solutions available to its service provider partners through the D&H Cloud Marketplace.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/dh-distributing-empowers-smb-focused-msps-acronis-cyber-protection-solutions/) [20 January 2021 — 2 min read ![Image 10: What is cloud-based security and how does it work?](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/74dd033305077b8ad219667201379601.png) Live from IoTTSA: Defending your clients against modern cyberthreats Cybercrime is escalating at an alarming rate.

Many organizations are moving their applications and data to the cloud rather than incurring the costs of purchasing hardware and running/maintaining on-premises applications. Likewise, other organizations manage their data in on-premises systems but store their backups in the cloud. Regardless of which approach your organization chooses, you may still have many questions about cloud-based security.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/cloud-based-security/) [12 January 2021 — 6 min read ![Image 12: How does vulnerability and patch management tie into cyber protection?](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/f62a350b7e35dfe1e3dd057a635af90b.png) How does vulnerability and patch management tie into cyber protection? Cyberthreats are more prevalent than ever and one of the most effective cyber exploits preys on outdated software, both operating systems (OSs) and applications. Cybercriminals focus on popular OSs and applications, such as Windows, Java, Adobe, and Microsoft 365, looking for vulnerabilities to exploit. This is why a patch management system is imperative.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/patch-management-cyber-protection/) [12 January 2021 — 5 min read ![Image 13: Cyber protection threats during the coronavirus pandemic](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/18a373b02d45b7c3ed01a5efacfff718.png) Cyber protection threats during the coronavirus pandemic There’s no doubt that 2020 was the year for the record books! Yes, the world now knows what a viral pandemic can do but many of us have also learned what a cyber pandemic can do too. More than 80% of global companies admitted in a recent Acronis survey of 3,400 IT managers and remote workers that they were not prepared to switch to remote work to combat cyber protection threats. Furthermore, Acronis found that 92% of global companies needed to adopt new technologies to combat remote working threats.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/cyber-protection-coronavirus/) [1](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/tags/cyber-protection/page/1/)...[31](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/tags/cyber-protection/page/31/) [32](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/tags/cyber-protection/page/32/) [33](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/tags/cyber-protection/page/33/) [34](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/tags/cyber-protection/page/34/) [35](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/tags/cyber-protection/page/35/)...[96](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/tags/cyber-protection/page/96/)
