The global survey discovered that 80% of companies now run as many as 10 solutions simultaneously for their data protection and cybersecurity needs \u2013 yet more than half of those organizations suffered unexpected downtime last year because of data loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The findings from Acronis\u2019 annual survey, which polled 4,400 IT users and professionals in 22 countries across six continents, dispel the myth that simply adding more solutions will solve&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.acronis.com\/en-us\/articles\/what-is-cyber-security\/\">cybersecurity<\/a>&nbsp;and data protection challenges. Not only does investing in more solutions not deliver more protection, in many cases trying to manage protection across multiple solutions creates greater complexity and less visibility for the IT team, which increases risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis year\u2019s Cyber Protection Week survey clearly illustrates that more solutions do not deliver greater protection, as using separate tools to address individual types of exposure is complicated, inefficient, and costly,\u201d said\u00a0Serguei \u201cSB\u201d Beloussov, Founder and CEO of\u00a0Acronis. \u201cThese findings confirm our belief that the smarter approach is cyber protection, which unifies data protection, cybersecurity, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.acronis.com\/en-us\/solutions\/business\/patch-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">endpoint management<\/a>\u00a0in one.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Knowledge gap contributes to IT challenges<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Complicating matters, there is a significant gap in awareness among users and IT pros of what IT and cybersecurity capabilities are available to them, which can cause them to lose valuable time, money, and security.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>68% of IT users and 20% of IT professionals would not know if their data had been modified without their knowledge because their solution makes determining that kind of tampering difficult.&nbsp;<\/li><li>43% of IT users don\u2019t know if their anti-malware stops zero-day threats because their solution doesn\u2019t make that information easily available. Having easy access to such cybersecurity insights is critical to ensuring data is protected.<\/li><li>A shocking 10% of IT pros don\u2019t know if their organization is subject to data privacy regulations. If those responsible for ensuring data privacy don\u2019t know they are culpable, they cannot implement strategies or evaluate the solutions needed to address the requirements. That ignorance puts the business at tremendous risk of major fines for potential compliance violations in 2021.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For anyone using multiple solutions to solve their IT and cybersecurity needs, the lack of transparency into such information only gets worse. Not only must they remember which solution provides a particular data point, they are constantly switching between consoles to find the details they need \u2013 leading to inefficiencies and missed insights.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Acronis has long recognized the cost, efficiency, and security challenges that arise from using multiple solutions, which is why the company pioneered the field of cyber protection, integrating cutting-edge cybersecurity, best-of-breed backup, and endpoint management in a single solution. Managed service providers can build their IT services on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.acronis.com\/en-us\/products\/cloud\/cyber-protect\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud<\/a>, while businesses can gain the same unified capabilities with the company\u2019s on-premises solution,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.acronis.com\/en-us\/products\/cyber-protect\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Acronis Cyber Protect 15<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Individuals\u2019 lax approach to protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The survey also revealed a staggeringly lax approach to data protection among IT users.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>83% of IT users spent more time on their devices last year, yet only half of them took extra steps to protect those devices&nbsp;<\/li><li>33% admit to not updating their devices until at least a week after being notified of a patch<\/li><li>90% of IT users reported performing backups, yet 73% have irretrievably lost data at least once, suggesting that they don\u2019t know how to back up or recover properly<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The efforts of individuals to protect their data aren\u2019t keeping pace with threats, which is likely due to false assumptions (such as believing Microsoft 365 backs up their data) or a reliance on automatic solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Individual IT users can gain the same integrated cyber protection as MSPs and IT professionals with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.acronis.com\/en-us\/products\/true-image\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Acronis True Image 2021<\/a>, the first personal cyber protection solution that unites AI-enhanced anti-malware and award-winning backup in one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Action items for Cyber Protection Week&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The challenges of protecting and securing data, applications, and systems will continue to grow in the post-pandemic world. To ensure that data is protected, Acronis recommends five simple steps:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Create backups of important data<\/strong>. Keep multiple copies of your backups, with one local copy for fast recovery and one\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.acronis.com\/articles\/offsite-backup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">off-site in the cloud<\/a>\u00a0to guarantee recovery if disaster destroys your copies.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Update your operating systems and applications<\/strong>. Outdated systems and apps lack the security fixes that stop cybercriminals from gaining access. Regular patching is required to avoid exploits.<\/li><li><strong>Avoid suspicious emails, links, and attachments<\/strong>. Most malware infections are the result of social engineering techniques that trick unsuspecting individuals into opening infected email attachments or clicking on links to websites that host malware.<\/li><li><strong>Install antivirus, anti-malware, and anti-ransomware software\u00a0<\/strong>while<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>enabling automatic updates so your system is protected against malware.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Consider adopting a single\u00a0<u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acronis.com\/cyber-protection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cyber protection solution<\/a><\/u>\u00a0<\/strong>to have the central management and integrated protection needed to meet today\u2019s IT requirements.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image
