First-Ever Complete Cyber Protection Solution Released, Tailored To Fight Pandemic Cyberthreats And Improve Remote Work – Acronis Cyber Protect

Acronis, a global leader in cyber protection, today announced it has joined GoDaddy's growing #OpenWeStand movement, joining over 30 brands in contributing resources, tools and insights to help sustain entrepreneurs and the small and microbusinesses they operate during this challenging time.

As part of #OpenWeStand, Acronis has signed a corporate pledge in support of small businesses, stating: "We will protect the business, IT infrastructure, and budget of every customer, while ensuring our partners have the resources and support they need to succeed."

Today, businesses of all sizes cannot operate without IT, and this need has only been magnified by the COVID-19 pandemic. While an organization's IT infrastructure requires cyber protection to ensure its reliability and security, many small companies don't have resources for a Chief Security Officer or complicated security infrastructure.

Acronis addresses this small business need with an integrated solution that delivers easy, efficient, and secure cyber protection, while also taking action to support our partners and customers through the Acronis #CyberFit Financing initiative.

This includes our partners also guiding their SMB clients to this funding, with many businesses providing essential services to their communities and requiring robust cyber protection more than ever before. More information is available at: https://www.acronis.com/en-us/lp/financing.

"During this unprecedented time, our goal is to help as many partners and customers as quickly as we can. Remote work is not possible without IT, which means protecting the IT infrastructure is more important than ever for organizations of all sizes. Acronis offers easy, efficient, and secure cyber protection, enabling partners to succeed as they help their clients safeguard their business, infrastructure, and IT budget, while also helping businesses through our #CyberFit Financing program," said Serg Bell, CEO and Founder of Acronis.

"The needs of everyday entrepreneurs are at the very heart of everything we do as a company," said GoDaddy CMO Fara Howard. "We have a duty to provide entrepreneurs with access to the resources and community spirit they crucially need today. We've been encouraged by the initial response to #OpenWeStand and are excited to continue to grow this movement in the weeks and months ahead."

Additional services and support being offered by Acronis to help sustain small business during the COVID-19 pandemic include:

The #OpenWeStand website has become a communal gathering place for entrepreneurs to learn, ask questions, lend advice, and utilize resources available to them. #OpenWeStand partners are pledging to support small businesses by contributing resources (including how-to articles and videos, webinars and virtual consultations), and discounted product/service offerings, and other relief to help them navigate the crisis.
