SCADA operations depend on recoverable servers and workstations as well as protected networks and controllers. A failed supervisory host can extend downtime even when field control remains intact. This guide maps the complete SCADA security stack and shows where PC-based backup and recovery fit without presenting Acronis as a SCADA network security platform. For broader OT and ICS foundations, see Acronis' OT and ICS cybersecurity guide.

In August 2026, Counter Threat Unit (CTU) researchers analyzed a malicious 64-bit Linux executable named timezone_check that was discovered on multiple compromised Cisco Firewall Management Center (FMC) devices. The sophisticated modular implant provides persistent remote access to a compromised Linux system.

Access sprawl is quiet. For example, a contractor's admin rights outlive the project by eight months, or an account sits open for weeks after someone switches teams. And in most cases, nobody catches access sprawl until an audit or a breach forces the question. User access management (UAM) is the discipline that catches this. It decides who gets access to what, why they get it, how that access is approved, how it changes over time, and when it gets pulled.

When you read through the posts on the Ignyte blog focusing on CMMC, you'll see that just about everything we talk about, unless otherwise specified, refers to CMMC Level 2. This is because it's the impact level that the vast majority of DoD contractors are going to need. CMMC Level 1 is the lowest level, protecting the least sensitive of the sensitive information the government has to offer. If all you're handling is Federal Contract Information (FCI), Level 1 is enough for you.

Multi-site backup lets any location back up or copy data to any other location, replacing the fixed hub-and-spoke model where every site depends on one central repository.
