The ability to talk knowledgeably and confidently about security issues is no longer limited to managed security service providers (MSSPs) – it is an absolute must for any MSP that wants to remain in business. Armed with the free Acronis Cybersecurity Assessment Questionnaire, this year’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month can be a great opportunity for you to help your clients while nurturing your MSP business.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/how-msps-can-talk-clients-about-cybersecurity-awareness-month/) [07 October 2020 — 9 min read ![Image 6: Selling cyber protection: Embracing the opportunity at #AcronisCyberSummit](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/f62a350b7e35dfe1e3dd057a635af90b.png) Avaddon ransomware cleans the bin for you Avaddon is a new Maze-like ransomware that not only encrypts the user’s data but also steals it and threatens to make it public. To do that, the Avaddon operator recently launched their own data leak site, where they have already published data from Liberty Linehaul and U.S. Auto Parts Network, Inc. What makes this ransomware unique is the way it tries to delete backups. In addition to traditional removal of shadow copies of the user’s files, Avaddon also deletes system backups, disables automatic repair and recovery, and cleans the bin. To do that, it escalates privileges with UAC bypassing through CMSTPLUA COM interface exploitation.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/avaddon-ransomware/) [02 October 2020 — 8 min read ![Image 7: Enhancing IT productivity: The secret to fast-tracking MSP success](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/701297a7531d17743bf6f7c5f50e97c8.png) Evasive Maze ransomware encrypts and steals terabytes of private data in targeted attacks Maze ransomware has been seen executing targeted attacks since at least May 2019 and was supposedly responsible for the attack on Canon on July 30, 2020, resulting in the outage of the image canon cloud storage service.

In 2019, the Starliner spacecraft missed its rendezvous with the International Space Station (ISS), despite having teams and technologies from NASA, SpaceX, and Boeing working together in an environment of cooperation and openness – and Boeing having spent $1.5 billion to get it right. Complexity can cause serious issues. That’s true for space exploration and the efficient use of software. So if things can go bad for teams working together, imagine the costly miscommunications that can happen in an environment that’s developed not by partners but by competitors. Unfortunately, that’s the kind of environment most MSPs rely on today since they’ve built their services on solutions that communicate (often poorly) via APIs.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/enhancing-it-productivity-secret-fast-tracking-msp-success/) [24 September 2020 — 5 min read ![Image 10: Selling cyber protection: Embracing the opportunity at #AcronisCyberSummit](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/f62a350b7e35dfe1e3dd057a635af90b.png) Selling cyber protection: Embracing the opportunity at #AcronisCyberSummit The need for organizations to modernize their data protection and cybersecurity has become clear, which is why 72% of global organizations have seen their IT costs ramp up.
