A report from Deloitte determined that all but 10% of businesses will fail without a disaster recovery plan in place. What’s more amazing is that 75% of all small businesses don’t have any disaster recovery plan.

After all, it’s never too late to get serious about the threats that are out there and always a good time to plan for the worst.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/spoiler-alert-disaster-has-many-faces-chance-favors-prepared/) [26 September 2019 — 4 min read ![Image 4: What to Expect: Resellers at the Acronis Global Cyber Summit](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/30ed349a67c19cf8c26685d868f90f47.png) The Three Most Important Takeaways from Spiceworks’ #SpiceWorldATX If you weren’t able to make it to SpiceWorld this year, don’t worry.

NioGuard Security Lab, a member of Anti-Malware Testing Standard Organization (AMTSO), researched the matter and just posted a report that examines the level of protection against cryptojacking offered by leading endpoint security providers.
