Keeping Backup Equipment Secure While Strengthening Digital Defenses

Keeping Backup Equipment Secure While Strengthening Digital Defenses

Dec 18, 2025 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
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

Dec 16, 2025 By Allison Ho In Acronis

Microsoft Office 365 MFA Setup: What Admins Need to Know

Dec 15, 2025 By NAKIVO Team In NAKIVO
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.

Backup vs. Replication: Key Differences Explained

Dec 11, 2025 By David Safaii In Trilio
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.

KubeVirt installation on public cloud/upstream clusters

Dec 10, 2025 By Jeff Ligon In Trilio
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)

When cyberthreats meet the farm: Protecting OT in food and agriculture

Dec 10, 2025 By Allison Ho In Acronis
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.

Lessons from the Jaguar Land Rover outage: How plant managers and OT engineers can prepare

Dec 10, 2025 By James Slaby In Acronis
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.
