Acronis, a global leader
in cyber protection, today welcomed hundreds of attendees
representing service providers, resellers and corporations to the
Acronis #CyberFit
Summit, taking place at the beautiful Yas Island Rotana at Abu
Dhabi to discuss modern approach to cyber protection.
The event includes exciting announcements of new solutions,
customer showcases, exclusive networking opportunities, and
educational keynote sessions focused on the rapidly-growing demand
for cyber protection.
With its rapid development of IT infrastructure, the Middle East
is an attractive target for hackers. In the UAE alone, a recent
report showed a 12 percent increase in malware attacks occurring in
the first three months of 2019 compared to the same period last
year.
At the event, three new cyber protection solutions - Acronis
Cyber Protect, Acronis
Cyber Platform, and Acronis
Cyber Infrastructure will be officially launched in the Gulf
Region, aiming to revolutionize how the industry solves modern data
protection and cybersecurity challenges.
● Acronis Cyber Protect: integrates seven key cyber
protection capabilities into one easy-to-use solution - including
backup, disaster recovery, AI-based protection against malware,
data authenticity certification and validation, vulnerability
assessments, patch management and remote monitoring and
management.
● Acronis Cyber Platform: provides developers and ISVs
the ability to customize, extend and integrate Acronis Cyber
Protection solutions.
● Acronis Cyber Infrastructure: delivers cost-efficient,
easy-to-use and reliable hyper-converged infrastructure optimized
for cyber protection deployments.
The Middle East is one of the fastest growing markets for
Acronis, with 6,000 resellers promoting and using Acronis
technology in the region. The Acronis #CyberFit Summit served as a
gathering hub for many of these companies, including StarLink, one
of the fastest growing "True" Value-Added-Distributors (VADs), and
Ingram Micro, one of the world's largest distributor of hardware
and software products, including cloud solutions.
Cloud adoption is one area in particular that is witnessing
tremendous growth in the Middle East. Nidal Othman, Co-Founder and
Managing Director of StarLink, believes that the Acronis #CyberFit
Summit comes at an opportune time for enterprises looking for a
secure way to start using cloud technology.
He added that "There is an influx of cloud vendors entering the
lucrative MENA market which is estimated at US$2.2 billion and is
expected to increase by 24 percent yearly on average, and taking
specifically of UAE, the government is allocating big resources to
cloud technology to power their smart city projects. The timing is
perfect for Acronis as it has established itself as a one-stop shop
for any business' cyber protection needs, and their unique approach
to cyber protection ensures both high security and ease of access
to data."
Acronis solutions are covering all Five Vectors of
Cyber Protection- Safety, Accessibility, Privacy, Authenticity,
and Security (SAPAS) for all data, applications, and systems. The
Founder and CEO of Acronis, Serg Bell, shared more on how this
differentiates Acronis' products from others on the market today:
"Traditional backup is dead," he said. "It's not enough to provide
just one aspect of what a company needs to protect itself. Our
solutions have been constantly re-designed to now provide holistic
cyber protection, ensuring data is not only safe, and accessible,
but also private, authentic and secure. We help companies to be
certain that their data has not been manipulated or falsified in
any way. We want them to be able to trust their data."
