The Best Ticketing Tool(s): The Complete Guide for MSPs and IT Service Providers

Nowadays, businesses of all sizes rely on MSPs and IT service providers for key functions such as cybersecurity, cloud management, and digital transformation, because it is often more cost-effective and efficient than handling these tasks in-house. However, that places enormous pressure on those providers because they are expected to solve a wide range of problems around the clock.

Maximize efficiency with a unified RMM and PSA solution for MSPs

Modern managed service providers (MSPs) need more than disconnected tools to stay efficient and competitive. Growing MSPs and IT service providers are increasingly seeking unified remote monitoring and management (RMM) and professional services automation (PSA) solutions to support their expanding operations and streamline workflows.

Ultimate Guide to Vulnerability Assessment: What, Why & How (2026 Edition)

If you’re an IT MSP, vulnerability assessment has grown from a river to a flood over the last couple of years. In 2020, there were 18,000 recorded common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs). By 2024, that number had more than doubled, eclipsing 40,000. And 2025 is showing no signs of reversing the trend. The rise of vulnerabilities means that manual vulnerability assessment is no longer possible.

Keeping Backup Equipment Secure While Strengthening Digital Defenses

During power outages, cyber-attack incidents, and hardware failure, backup devices allow for many systems to be operational without interruption. To ensure that a backup device operates effectively, it must be maintained in a secure location and in good condition. When backup devices are lost, exposed to environmental conditions, or unorganized, the chance of a backup device working when it is most needed is diminished significantly, which increases the risk of an organization losing access to a required digital resource.

OT resilience demands rapid recovery: Rethinking traditional backup

Industrial organizations face a stark reality: Downtime is costly, disruptive and cannot be entirely prevented. Whether it’s a cyberattack, hardware failure or simple data corruption, operational technology (OT) environments must be ready to recover quickly. In a recent podcast, Stephen Nichols, Country Manager for Canada at Acronis, shared his perspective on why rapid recovery is now a fundamental pillar of industrial resilience and how modern backup strategies are evolving to meet the challenge.

Microsoft Office 365 MFA Setup: What Admins Need to Know

In November 2024, Microsoft announced that multi-factor authentication (MFA) would become mandatory for all administrator accounts across Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365), Azure, and Intune. Starting in 2025, admins without MFA enabled will no longer be able to access Microsoft’s admin portals. This rollout is happening in phases at the tenant level, and administrators who haven’t yet configured MFA will need to update their settings to stay compliant.

OpenShift Operators Explained: The Basics You Need to Know

Managing applications on Red Hat OpenShift gets complicated quickly. Updates break things, scaling requires constant attention, and recovery from failures eats up valuable time. OpenShift Operators eliminate these headaches by automating tasks that normally demand manual work from your team. These Kubernetes-native tools package, deploy, and manage services across your cluster.

A banner year for Acronis: A look at industry recognition and test results in 2025

It’s evident that the cybersecurity industry took notice of the remarkable growth and maturation Acronis achieved in 2025. Through comprehensive analyst evaluations, rigorous third-party testing and user reviews, leading organizations across the cybersecurity spectrum have validated the development of Acronis as a comprehensive leader in cyber protection. A complete list of analyst reports and user review recognitions, as well as test results Acronis accumulated in 2025, includes.

Backup vs. Replication: Key Differences Explained

When your application crashes or a region goes offline, the difference between backup and replication determines whether you’re back online in minutes or scrambling for days. Most IT teams confuse these two strategies, but they solve different problems. Backup creates point-in-time copies of your data for recovery after corruption or deletion. Replication maintains synchronized copies across systems for high availability and failover.

Cybercriminals Want Your Backups - Here's How to Keep Them Safe

Cyber crime gets more advanced, and threat actors increasingly target backups with ransomware attacks. If an organization is left with erased or corrupted data and has no access to backup copies, there is no chance of recovery. This allows the attackers to demand ransom payments averaging at over 10 million dollars as of 2025. That is why your backup and disaster recovery strategy should be reliable and secure to keep your environments protected and guarantee business continuity.
