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.

Acronis has earned new recognition from Info‑Tech SoftwareReviews, with Acronis Cyber Platform named a leader in the Endpoint Protection – Midmarket Data Quadrant. This recognition is based entirely on feedback from verified end users, highlighting the value MSPs and their clients see in Acronis endpoint protection capabilities. Unlike awards driven solely by analyst opinion or market presence, SoftwareReviews’ recognition reflects real‑world experience.

Email remains the primary communication channel in healthcare, carrying patient records, referral notes, billing data, and administrative correspondence that frequently contains electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI). For Managed Service Providers (MSPs) serving healthcare clients, HIPAA-compliant email archiving is no longer optional. It is a foundational requirement for supporting regulatory compliance, responding to audits, and protecting against data loss.

Cybersecurity has entered a new operating reality. Threats are scaling faster, attack chains are becoming more complex and AI is accelerating both their frequency and sophistication. For MSPs, this creates a structural challenge: clients expect enterprise-grade protection, but most service providers don’t have the internal resources to operate a 24/7 SOC at scale. That’s where MDR comes in. But not all MDR services actually solve the problem.

When organizations think about regulatory compliance, they typically focus on where production data lives. What they often miss is that every backup copy, every replicated snapshot, and every disaster recovery failover target carries the same legal weight as the original data. As governments tighten data sovereignty laws across the EU, APAC, and beyond, backup and disaster recovery infrastructure has become a compliance minefield — and most IT teams don't know they're standing in it.

For many businesses and MSPs, Synology is not just “a NAS box.” It is where shared files live, branch office data accumulates, backups land and teams expect fast local access to critical information. Synology itself positions its portfolio squarely around NAS and data protection for business use, and its Package Center supports both Synology-developed and third-party applications.

Operational Technology (OT) security safeguards the industrial systems, networks, and physical processes that power modern society. Unlike Information Technology (IT), which prioritizes data confidentiality, OT security focuses on the availability, reliability, and safety of physical operations, protecting the technology behind turbines, robotic arms, pumps, and pipeline valves.

Your backups survived a ransomware attack. Your team restored everything within hours. And three days later, the same malware is back, encrypting the same files, because nobody checked whether those backups were clean before putting them into production.
