Insufficient virtual disk space can lead to issues, including poor performance. For example, you set up a virtual disk, create partitions, and install a guest OS on one of those partitions. Then you find that you have insufficient disk space. In this case, you should extend the disk size. VMware provides flexible configuration options for virtual hardware like CPUs, memory, and disks, allowing you to extend the size of an existing virtual disk.

When a virtual disk on a virtual machine is full, you need to increase the virtual disk size. However, partitions located on the virtual disk do not expand automatically and should be expanded manually. Learn how to increase the virtual disk size and extend Windows partitions using different methods and combine these methods for different scenarios. NAKIVO for VMware vSphere Backup Complete data protection for VMware vSphere VMs and instant recovery options.

There’s no infrastructure that’s always on and immune to all kinds of threats. Even the top providers leave a tiny margin in their Service Level Agreements (SLA), stating 99.999% uptime at most. The cloud, advertised as the universal cure for the problems of legacy on-premises setups, also turned out vulnerable. The most obvious and impactful manifestations of cloud vulnerability are cloud outages.

QR code phishing is a social engineering attack that embeds malicious URLs inside QR code images delivered through email. Because the payload lives inside an image — not in a clickable link or plain text — legacy secure email gateways (SEGs) never see it. The email passes inspection. The user scans the code with their phone. And the attack moves from a protected corporate desktop to an unmanaged mobile device outside your security perimeter.

Generative AI and sophisticated social engineering have reshaped the cybersecurity landscape in 2026. Traditional "castle-and-moat" defenses centered on the Secure Email Gateway (SEG) are increasingly pressured by machine-scale attacks designed to bypass static filters. As organizations shift toward Integrated Cloud Email Security (ICES) models, a new technical and psychological barrier appears: the "black box" problem of defensive AI.

Managed service providers (MSPs) are operating in an environment defined by growing attack surfaces, rising customer expectations and increasing pressure to scale efficiently. With MSPs managing more than 20 tools on average, integrations are no longer a backend convenience but are a strategic requirement for reducing complexity, accelerating response and improving margins.

Acronis Independent testing continues to matter because security teams need more than vendor claims — they need repeatable, third-party validation under realistic conditions. That is why the latest AV-TEST results for business Windows endpoint protection stand out for Acronis.
