Jan 27, 2026 By Allison Ho In Acronis
Picture this: A ransomware alert fires. Your technician opens the EDR console, checks the backup dashboard, logs in to the email security portal, verifies patch status in the RMM tool and correlates alerts across multiple vendor platforms. By the time they track down the root cause, the infection has already spread. This is more than a technical headache; it’s a profitability crisis.

Cyber resilience vs cyber protection: What is the difference?

Jan 22, 2026 By Acronis In Acronis
The IT industry uses many overlapping terms that are often misunderstood.

When these concepts are sometimes used interchangeably, organizations risk making the wrong decisions about how they protect systems, data and business operations. While these concepts are related, they are not the same.

Backup strategies for operational technology (OT) systems

Jan 9, 2026 By Acronis In Acronis
Summary Operational technology (OT) systems underpin industrial safety and production, yet many run on legacy platforms that lack modern backup and cyber-resilience.

Jan 9, 2026 By Acronis In Acronis
Workspace security has evolved into one of the most critical challenges facing managed service providers and modern IT teams.

How to easily protect your identity from theft and fraud

Jan 9, 2026 By Acronis In Acronis
Identity theft is no longer just about lost wallets or stolen credit cards—it’s a growing digital threat that can start with something as simple as opening an email, clicking a link, or sharing information online. Criminals can use your personal data to open accounts, make purchases, or commit fraud in your name, and may also use your information to commit crimes beyond financial fraud, often leaving victims unaware until serious financial or legal damage occurs.

How to simplify disaster recovery: Shifting from preventative security to cyber resilience

Jan 8, 2026 By Allison Ho In Acronis
Traditional cybersecurity operates on a simple premise: Keep cyberthreats out by building higher walls, adding more locks and deploying additional firewalls. But what happens when prevention fails? What happens when ransomware doesn't just breach your perimeter but spreads across your redundant systems, turning your backup infrastructure into a liability? The average ransomware claim now exceeds $1.18 million. For many organizations, that's not just a financial hit but a threat to their survival.

What Windows 10 end of support means for OT environments

Jan 7, 2026 By Lee Pender In Acronis
When Microsoft ended support for mainstream Windows 10 in October 2025, there was panic in many industries. Fearing that Windows 10 would be unprotected and therefore exposed to cyberthreats, organizations raced to migrate to Windows 11. But in operational technology (OT) environments, that narrative is a little misleading. Upgrading prematurely can introduce far greater operational risk than staying on a well-controlled Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) platform.

How MSPs can solve their Microsoft 365 productivity crisis with AI and automation

Jan 6, 2026 By Lee Pender In Acronis
Microsoft 365 is both powerful and challenging for managed service providers (MSPs). It's nearly ubiquitous at client sites, which means MSPs don't have to worry about managing multiple business suites. Unfortunately, protecting Microsoft 365 isn't easy. Microsoft's own level of protection is limited by design, and MSPs often have to cobble together a collection of unintegrated tools to keep Microsoft 365 data safe for clients. Technicians end up stretched thin as tickets pile up.

Delivering Microsoft 365 Management Security and Protection Profitably

Jan 5, 2026 By Acronis In Acronis
Summary Microsoft 365 is mission-critical for SMBs, but managing it with fragmented backup and security tools creates complexity, security gaps, and shrinking margins for MSPs. Disconnected solutions increase manual work, operational overhead, and risk across email, data, identity, and compliance. A unified Microsoft 365 protection approach consolidates backup, XDR, email security, archiving, security awareness training, and posture management into a single multi-tenant platform.

Leveraging backup-as-a-service (BaaS) for Microsoft 365

Jan 2, 2026 By Acronis In Acronis
Summary Microsoft 365 is the operational backbone for email, collaboration, and business data, but it does not provide true backup — only availability and short-term retention. Once retention windows expire, deleted or compromised data may be unrecoverable, creating significant risk for organizations. Backup-as-a-service (BaaS) for Microsoft 365 closes this protection gap by delivering independent, point-in-time backups, granular recovery, and long-term retention.
