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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The default node pool VMs (worker nodes) in Azure do not have Intel virtualization extensions (VT-x) enabled. When trying to create a guest VM, you will see that the kubevirt VM pod will be unschedulable with the following error message: To fix this, you need to create a new node pool using an Azure VM flavor that has VT-x extensions. (those from the Ds_v3 series all have them)

This new guidance amounts to leading Western governments telling OT users (industrial businesses in manufacturing, energy, power, logistics, critical infrastructure, and the like), “Yes, you can use AI in OT, but only if you’re prepared for it to fail and you can recover quickly when it does.”

The systems that grow, process and deliver our food operate in a world most of us never see: legacy equipment, air-gapped networks and decades-old operating systems quietly controlling the machinery that keeps supply chains moving. What happens when modern cyber threats collide with this aging infrastructure? The answer is more urgent than most people realize.

Industrial plant managers and operational technology (OT) engineers have been closely following the August 2025 cyberattack on Jaguar Land Rover, which brought down its production lines for months and is expected to eventually cost the U.K. automaker billions of dollars in losses. It is a timely reminder that cybercriminals are actively targeting manufacturers and other industrial concerns that rely on OT, and merely the latest in a series of similar attacks, including.

In the latest independent MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations, Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud with EDR / XDR demonstrated the performance MSPs value most: proven detection without high-volume noise, helping teams scale services efficiently while protecting clients against advanced real-world threats.
