Acronis is proud to celebrate its longstanding partnership with CloudFire, an innovative Italian cloud service provider that has been transforming how small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) approach data protection and business continuity. Based in Reggio Emilia, CloudFire has established itself as a leader in cloud services that put simplicity and scalability at the forefront. In recognition of this commitment to excellence, CloudFire was named Service Provider of the Year 2025.

Choosing the best cybersecurity software is easier said than done, especially with the countless options on the market that promise us a rich feature set, astonishing effectiveness, and low prices. However, things are not always as advertised by vendors, and the real problem is that we only realize this after purchasing the product.

Cloud backup has become one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect your Mac's data, because it stores your files in secure data centers, from where you can restore your data whenever needed in just a few clicks. It literally protects you from losing all your cherished memories like photos, videos, and important documents due to a cyberattack, natural disaster, or hardware failure.

In today's fast-paced IT landscape, the demand for efficient and reliable software deployment is more pressing than ever. MSPs and IT professionals are tasked with the complex responsibility of ensuring that software is consistently installed, updated, and maintained across a variety of client environments. Manual handling of these tasks can lead to numerous challenges, including configuration errors, security vulnerabilities and compliance issues.

Workspace security has evolved into one of the most critical challenges facing managed service providers and modern IT teams. As organizations continue to embrace remote and hybrid work models, traditional perimeter-based security approaches no longer provide adequate protection. Users now access corporate data from multiple locations, devices and cloud platforms, dramatically expanding the attack surface. For MSPs, this shift represents both a risk and an opportunity.

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.

Summary Operational technology (OT) systems underpin industrial safety and production, yet many run on legacy platforms that lack modern backup and cyber-resilience. Without isolated, full-system recovery, ransomware or system failure can halt operations and create serious safety risks — a gap addressed by modern OT backup approaches such as Acronis Cyber Protect.

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.

AI automation for managed service providers is creating a major shift from reactive to proactive service delivery, allowing MSPs to streamline ticket handling, accelerate resolution times, and operate far more efficiently. Real-world data shows that AI-driven automation can help service desks close significantly more tickets per technician by automating triage and routine tasks, while also reducing operational costs by 25 to 40 percent** through improved workflow efficiency and reduced manual labor.
