Quick definition: Email security is the combination of technical controls, authentication protocols and user practices that protect email accounts, messages and infrastructure from unauthorized access, phishing, malware and data loss. Key takeaways.

On July 30, Acronis hosted “Acronis Accelerate: The Journey to Autonomous IT,” the second event in its special Acronis Accelerate series. Building on the vision introduced at the previous event in May, in this edition Acronis moved from strategy to action, showing partners how Acronis is turning AI-native cyber platform thinking into real products, live workflows and practical opportunities for growth.

Quick definition Ransomware protection combines two things that work at different points of an attack: endpoint protection software that detects and blocks ransomware before it encrypts data, and backup and disaster recovery solutions that let an organization restore its systems if an attack still gets through.

In March 2018, the SamSam ransomware attack on the city of Atlanta became one of the most expensive ransomware incidents ever to hit a US local government. It remains a useful case study in what happens when an organization has no way to detect, stop or recover from ransomware in real time.

Quick definition Data security is the practice of protecting digital information from unauthorized access, corruption or theft across its entire lifecycle, from creation and storage to transmission and disposal. It combines technical safeguards such as encryption, administrative safeguards such as policy and training, and physical safeguards such as facility access control.

AI is changing the economics of managed services, and productivity and intelligence are becoming critical competitive factors. MSPs need practical AI that helps technicians work more productively, make smarter decisions, move faster, reduce manual effort and resolve issues with better context. That is why Acronis is expanding Acronis Cyber Platform with new AI-native capabilities built for the next era of managed services.

Omdia once again named Acronis a Champion in its Global Managed BDR Leadership Matrix for backup and disaster recovery. Acronis was one of only four vendors in 2026 to retain its Champion status from the previous edition of the matrix. For managed service providers (MSPs), the honor provides recognition from an independent analyst firm of Acronis’ consistency, continued innovation and sustained commitment to partner success.

Power and energy organizations are a prime target of cyberattacks. They face cyberthreats that can disrupt generation, transmission and distribution. And as they introduce more connected digital technologies alongside legacy and connectivity-restricted OT systems, their cyberattack surface becomes more complex. That is why cyber resilience has become a critical operational requirement for the power and energy sector. The U.S.

The threat landscape facing health care organizations and their managed service providers (MSPs) in 2026 is constantly becoming more dangerous. Businesses and service providers in the field are increasingly popular targets for attackers. The attack perimeter for health care organizations is rapidly expanding beyond internal threats to involve third parties, especially MSPs.
