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.

In the latest independent MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations, Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud with EDR / XDR demonstrated the performance MSPs value most: proven detection without high-volume noise, helping teams scale services efficiently while protecting clients against advanced real-world threats.

Artificial intelligence is changing how businesses work and compete. In every corner of the market, organizations expect more productivity. The question facing today’s business leaders is no longer whether to embrace artificial intelligence but how to harness its full potential to drive meaningful and sustainable transformation.

Dharma, also known as CrySiS, is a long running ransomware family first observed in 2016. It operates as ransomware as a service, where developers lease the malware to affiliates who deploy it. A variant discovered in March 2021 appends the ".biden" extension to encrypted files. This article provides a technical analysis of Dharma, outlines its infection vector, describes its encryption workflow, and offers guidance for mitigation.

Technology failures are inevitable in operational technology (OT) environments. While prevention is essential, the ability to recover quickly is what ultimately protects operations. When OT systems fail, production stops and the costs of reduced production, missed deliveries and possible regulatory problems immediately begin to accumulate. Manufacturers, utilities and industrial operators need to be able to get systems up and running again as rapidly as possible after an incident.

Acronis once again received recognition from Info-Tech SoftwareReviews, this time in the form of an Emotional Footprint Award for extended detection and response (EDR). The latest accolade highlights Acronis’ growing leadership in cybersecurity and its dedication to delivering solutions that managed service providers (MSPs) love.

Microsoft 365 has become the backbone of modern business productivity, with more than 450 million paid seats and over 300 million monthly Teams users. But this widespread adoption comes with a sobering reality: Microsoft 365 is now a prime target for cybercriminals worldwide.

The importance of cyber resilience is very real and growing due to an accelerating threat landscape for manufacturers that shows no signs of slowing down. The SANS Institute’s 2025 State of ICS/OT Cybersecurity Survey reveals troubling trends that should reshape how manufacturers think about operational security.

When alerts flood in at 2 a.m., your team shouldn't have to guess whether it's a critical failure or another false alarm. That uncertainty is what causes alert fatigue, a systematic problem that leads to slower response times, team burnout, and missed incidents. Fortunately, there's a solution: By replacing noisy, traditional methods with smart alert management, you can turn a flood of alerts into a stream of actionable insight.

In our hyperconnected landscape, software vulnerabilities are proliferating at a record pace. In 2024 alone, more than 40,000 Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) were published, marking a 38% increase over the previous year. Many of these vulnerabilities are weaponized within days, leaving organizations exposed if updates are not applied immediately. Patch management software addresses this risk by automating the detection, acquisition, and deployment of software updates across an IT environment.
