Global business leaders in the #OpenWeStand movement offer
resources, inspiration and community to small businesses during the
COVID-19 crisis
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:
- Acronis Cyber Protection Solutions:Free cyber protection services and resources for service providers and businesses that provide an assessment of an organization's current cyber protection landscape and offers recommendations on how to protect workloads and business environments from cyberattacks.
- Free Career Transition Series: Support and training for people who have lost their job or are looking to change careers. Acronis will host the first webinar on April 30 which will provide training on how to become a Managed Service Provider (MSP) and enter the highly in-demand cyber protection market.

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.
