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/) [30 November 2020 — 3 min read ![Image 3: How the New Acronis Academy Empowers Partners](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/e44479aa9902652a121944102811a7bd.png) How the New Acronis Academy Empowers Partners Acronis partners gained an all-new way to position, sell, and deploy in-demand cyber protection solutions to the organizations they serve with a relaunched and redesigned Acronis #CyberFit Academy training and certification program.

I have been involved in creating a lot of events during my career but I’ve never been involved with anything as big – or frankly as historic – as the Acronis Cyber Summit 2020. During the Summit’s three days, we welcomed more than 8,500 professionals who registered to hear 130 speakers and 20 sponsors, which means we may have pulled off what might be the largest security-focused hybrid event ever. As a former managed service provider (MSP), I was thrilled that the Summit’s mission was different than some of the vendor events I’ve attended in the past. That’s because it wasn’t focused on pitching a product, but rather it delivered the information, training, and content to help our IT channel partners grow.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/msps-urged-recognize-opportunities-acronis-global-cyber-summit/) [21 October 2020 — 7 min read ![Image 6: Selling cyber protection: Embracing the opportunity at #AcronisCyberSummit](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/f62a350b7e35dfe1e3dd057a635af90b.png) Roadmap to the post-pandemic IT landscape: Previewing the last day of #AcronisCyberSummit 2020 The insights and action items of the Acronis Global Cyber Summit 2020 roll on.

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.
