Data is the lifeblood of a business and it's up to IT Departments to keep it accessible and protected. With the ever changing landscape of networks, storage growth, the current (and intense) focus on security, and more professionals working from home, there are many challenges that IT professionals can face.
Data protection is an essential aspect of running a business. With the increasing complexity of technology and the ever-growing amount of data, it's becoming more challenging for companies or IT teams to manage it independently.
With the alarming rise in ransomware attacks targeting businesses and individuals worldwide, it has become imperative to adopt proactive measures to mitigate the damaging consequences of these cyber threats. While prevention strategies play a significant role in mitigating risks, backup solutions emerge as indispensable tools in recovering from ransomware attacks. In this blog post, we will explore how backup features can protect against ransomware and prove to be a lifeline for businesses and users in the face of such attacks.
Backup: A point in time copy of the production environment that is stored in an archive.
Pros:
Backup files can be compressed to save space and exist on slower, cheaper, commodity storage.
Backup files can be recovered for as long as you wish to retain the archive.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is dominating conversations across industries—especially when it comes to its societal impact and practical use cases. In the realm of backup and recovery, two key questions emerge:
Acronis surveyed 2,500 participants across eight countries regarding data privacy, consumer perspectives and their actions related to data privacy and cyber protection. The survey explores public views on data security and the measures people are adopting to protect their personal information through cybersecurity practices.
Hybrid cloud backup is a backup strategy that combines both on-premises and cloud-based storage solutions. With hybrid cloud backup, organizations can protect their critical data by creating backups both locally and in the cloud. This approach allows for greater flexibility and ensures data availability in the event of a disaster or data loss.
Ransomware attacks have become increasingly common in recent years, targeting organizations of all sizes and industries. The consequences of a ransomware attack can be devastating, with organizations losing access to critical data and systems and even facing financial losses and reputational damages.
Email has become a tool of choice for cybercriminals to deploy various cyber threats. Fundamental email security methods can recognize certain threats, but advanced email security further thwarts the remaining ones. Given the diversity of attack types, advanced email security needs to address a multitude of vectors, not just a singular one. Below is a comprehensive checklist to aid evaluation activities when looking for advanced email security.
Backup and restore processes can be complex, and there are many factors that can contribute to failures or incomplete restores. It's true that backup software often comes with many options, and without proper training or understanding of these options, users may simply stick with the defaults and hope for the best.

Cybersecurity is at an all time high. 43% of businesses hit with ransomware never re-open and 29% close within 2 years. With AI, it's extremely difficult for IT teams to stay ahead of cyber threats and it's even more difficult to keep employees informed of what to look for. This Cybersecurity Toolkit was designed for both IT teams and outside employees to make cybersecurity awareness a bit easier to understand and teach.
