Machine learning (ML) has significantly evolved since its conception in the 1950’s. One of the minds behind the technology and field of study was Alan Turing, a computer scientist and artificial intelligence (AI) pioneer. Turing famously challenged the expectations and limitations of computers by posing the question, “Can machines think?”

In our increasingly digital world, your laptop is more than just a device — it's a vault of memories, a workspace and a lifeline to your personal and professional life. Imagine losing years of photos, critical work documents or important research in an instant. This nightmare scenario is precisely why laptop backup software isn't just a luxury — it's an absolute necessity.

Imagine this: It's a typical Wednesday evening. You're scrolling through your photos, reminiscing about a recent vacation. Suddenly, your screen freezes. A message appears: “Your files are encrypted. Pay $5,000 in Bitcoin or lose everything forever.” This isn't a scene from a cyber thriller. It's the terrifying reality thousands of people face every single day.

Microsoft 365 is now an important tool for businesses and organizations around the world. It has a full set of productivity and collaboration apps. However, with the increasing reliance on this platform, the need for robust security practices has also become more critical. Cyberthreats are constantly evolving, and it is imperative for organizations to stay updated with the latest security measures to protect their data and systems.

Over the last 12 months, the Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud platform has expanded significantly with new solutions, features and capabilities to empower MSPs. So, this is the ideal time for you to refine your technology stack and take a hard look at solving challenges by developing strategies to deliver top-notch services to your clients. Here's a look at what’s new with Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud in 2024.

Protecting your data is more important than ever. Whether you're a casual user or a business owner, safeguarding your files, photos and sensitive information is crucial. One of the leading solutions on the market is Acronis True Image, a powerful backup and cybersecurity tool. But the question on many people’s minds is, is Acronis True Image free?

Cyber insurance and compliance are a golden opportunity for MSPs. Businesses turn to your services and solutions to deliver adequate protection, avoid hefty compliance fines and get help with insurance coverage. As data protection and security requirements intensify, your services play a critical role in mitigating your clients’ cyber risk.

Cyber resilience keeps taking center stage. One of Europe’s compliance regulations, the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), is doubling down on financial organizations. Established in 2022, DORA was created to address critical gaps in EU financial institutions that elevate information and communication technology (ICT) risks. The new rules taking effect meant that businesses were up against the clock to satisfy DORA requirements.

SaaS has become the default choice for productivity and collaboration apps. MSPs face challenges in delivering managed services for these environments in general, and security services for Microsoft 365 specifically, as a critical component of an organization’s cybersecurity strategy.
