CompTIA’s ChannelCON nailed it!
Connection. If there’s one word that best sums up what CompTIA is all about, it’s “connection”. It connects the global IT community as we all learn, grow, and navigate this amazing channel. One of the best parts of CompTIA is that no matter what the goal is – from new and innovative certifications or trust marks to political lobby missions to conferences aimed at bringing vendors and partners together – CompTIA is all about building relationships. And I’ve personally seen many of those relationships turn into true friendships.

Unveiling Acronis Cyber Backup SCS: Hardened Backup for Air-Gapped Networks
Organizations dealing with especially sensitive data can’t allow for any level of data loss or compromise. To achieve this level of privacy and security, many rely on ‘ hardened’, air-gapped networks that limit their environment’s attack surface but also limit the solutions that can effectively be introduced to help with daily operations.

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.

5nine is Now Part of the Acronis Ecosystem
5nine Software, Inc. was acquired by Acronis in December 2019. All your favorite 5nine software products are still available and, other than having been rebranded, remain the same. If you’ve been using (or selling) 5nine Cloud Manager, 5nine Cloud Migration, or 5nine Cloud Security – for Hyper-V and for Azure – your software continues to be supported and your existing licenses are still valid. The only changes are that 5nine Cloud Manager Free is now found on the Acronis Cloud Manager free trial page, and instead of contacting 5nine Support when you need assistance you’ll contact Acronis Support. Unfortunately, if you had a 5nine login, you will need to create a new Acronis account, but the process is quick and easy.

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.

What You Need to Know About Remote Work: Activating Your OS Firewall
Many of us have most likely heard the term “firewall” even if we’re not interested in IT security. But what is it? Basically it is a network security system that controls all incoming and outgoing traffic on connected machines, acting as the first line of defense against all internet threats that target local networks or particular machines.
