The world is existing in a digital age, where data is among the most valuable commodities for a business. Data is consistently collected and utilised across society and industry alike, becoming a necessity for the continuation of the world as it exists today. However, this crucial need brings significant risk, with companies and individuals both in danger of cyberattacks. Therefore, to ensure security in the face of such threats, cyber protection is a must-have for all; with companies like Acronis forming to defend against such challenges.

Senior Vice President Sales APJ & MEA and Global Channel, Pasha Ershow explains the fundamentals of this offering. “What is cyber protection?

Cyber protection company Acronis will add its cyber protection solution for small businesses and small offices/home offices (SOHO) to BT’s portfolio of security services.
The agreement comes after the busiest year of cyberattacks in the United Kingdom, as experts saw a 20% increase in attacks during 2020. The Covid-19 pandemic created an opportunity for cybercriminals to access company data as people forced to work from home. The trend is expected to accelerate in 2021.
“The past year posed a tremendous number of protection challenges to organisations of all sizes, with 31% of companies reporting daily cyberattacks during 2020. Unfortunately, these attacks are expected to accelerate in 2021 as cybercriminals continue targeting remote workers who are on less secure systems,” explains Pasha Ershow, Acronis revenue officer for global sales.
