Combatting the rapidly evolving cybercrime landscape, Acronis
brings cyber protection insights to efforts aimed at addressing
systemic cybersecurity challenges and improving digital trust
SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland, 30 November 2020 - Acronis, a global leader in cyber
protection, today announced it was partnering with the World
Economic Forum Centre for Cybersecurity to join the efforts of this
private-public network to respond to the world's growing
cybersecurity threats.
As the digital economy becomes an ever-increasing driver around
the globe, cybersecurity
becomes a primary concern. Engaging leaders from business,
government, civil society, academia, and a multitude of sectors,
the World Economic Forum Centre for Cybersecurity champions
cybersecurity as a competitive advantage that creates value and
opportunities for public and private organizations.
Through this partnership, Acronis will contribute its unique
approach to
cyber protection, which provides a comprehensive approach to
cybersecurity, to develop innovations that will solve the security
and protection challenges of the future. Specifically, Acronis will
engage in the Cyber Risk and Corporate Governance project to help
establish a baseline understanding of key cybersecurity issues,
while providing guidance on strategies for security and cyber
resiliency.
"The Forum's most recent global risk report noted that the top
five global threats were cybersecurity-related, with
cyberattacks and data theft among the most immediate dangers,"
according to Acronis Founder and CEO Serg Bell. "Having been at the
forefront of the new IT discipline of cyber protection, Acronis
brings a unique, comprehensive perspective to the protection
challenges facing today's institutions. By collaborating with our
peers, we can ensure business and government leaders have the tools
and frameworks needed to meet their cybersecurity obligations of
the modern world."
As part of the company's new involvement in the platform,
Acronis Founder and CEO Serg Bell brought his expertise to the
Centre for Cybersecurity's annual meeting, which occurred November
16-17, 2020.
"Cybersecurity is critically important in the digital world, yet
every day we witness successful breaches. Acronis uniquely offers a
cyber protection platform that natively integrates the five layers
of protection into a single offering: prevention, detection,
response, recovery, and forensics," said René Bonvanie, chairman of
the board of Acronis. "In doing so, Acronis is offering a highly
effective and efficient approach to modern cybersecurity
challenges."
The partnership also means institutional leaders from both the
private and public sectors will benefit from strategy and
governance standards that have been developed, in part, using the
holistic approach of cyber protection.
