We are often obsessed with who can see our data(Confidentiality) and how that data is protected from tampering (Integrity). While these are vital, there is a third pillar of the CIA triad that is currently under constant pressure: Availability. A recent Forrester survey revealed a startling reality: 76% of data breaches now affect availability, while only 42% impact confidentiality and 27% affect integrity.

Acronis is introducing Acronis Archival Storage, a new S3-compatible cloud storage tier built specifically for long-term data retention, compliance and cost optimization. This addition strengthens the Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud platform by giving MSPs a complete, integrated solution that spans the entire data lifecycle from active protection on PCs and disaster recovery to long-term, compliant data archiving.

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.

Do you know what it takes to launch a retail website that neatly organizes products and enables customers to add items to their carts with a single click? Do you know what powers the booking system your clients rely on? What is the hidden engine that manages your clients’ logistics, controls their supply chain, processes invoices and stores data for analytics and compliance? These are the systems MSPs are trusted to keep running every day. Critical servers.

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.

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.
