Antimalware Scans of Backups: Creating More Security Without Harming Performance or Usability
Backup and antimalware are two essentials parts of the typical endpoint security posture. While scanning for malware is usually performed before backing up, it is still possible for malware to make its way to a backup image – either because the detection capabilities of the average antimalware solution are lacking or the backup was created before doing an antimalware scan.

Arsenal FC seamlessly transitions to working from home during lockdown with help from Acronis
Long before the COVID-19 pandemic, Arsenal had been working hard to implement new technology to allow its workforce to work from home on an ad-hoc basis. This included the implementation of collaborative and cloud-based technology. Then the crisis hit. According to Christelle Heikkila, IT Director at Arsenal, “we had a seamless transition for our entire workforce to work from home as soon as lockdown started, from every department around the world as far as Singapore and Australia.” Acronis has been with Arsenal every step of the way, taking proactive measures to keep Arsenal cyber safe, including the provision of backups for its cloud-based data to give it additional peace of mind. Arsenal was also an early adopter of Acronis Cyber Protect, which has cybersecurity features like a full-stack antivirus solution, vulnerability assessments, patch management, and URL filtering.

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?
