Acronis Cyber Summit 2019 Live Blog

We are in Miami Florida – October 14, 2019, at the Fountainbleau Hotel where we are about to kick off. Here are some photos and tweets from last night.

8:30ish am:

CEO Serguei Beloussov about to take the stage.

Discusses his past – at Solomon Software which was sold to Microsoft.

Acronis is 16 years old as a seperate entity, 19 as a brand.

1,000 peopel registered – peopel here from 57 countries. Even the typhoon didn’t stop the Japanese from coming :-).

The world is becoming digital.

It is very different from the physical world.

Very difficult to protect the digital world – complexity, security, cost.

“The traditional security approach no longer works today,”

5 vectors of cybersecurity in the digital world.

Without complexity – with security, at a reasonable cost.

$250B market growing double-digits.

“We have the only solution -, especially with edge and endpoint.”

Single product with one UI, management integration, product and tech integration.

We spend a great deal on research and innovation.

We innovate with blockchain and AI.

There will always be people who can exploit software defects – and people will be people.

We keep a safe and secure copy of infrastructure and can recall it.

We can do proper forensics.

Nick “CyberNick” Grebennikoff takes the stage to discuss Acronis Cyber Protect.

Product discussion – single pane of glass management – continuous integrated protection, data classification and risk assessment, smart protection plans, safe endpoint recovery, forensics investigation-friendly.

Shows sample of how it works.

Patch management – their team works behind the scenes to see which patches are good to be installed, etc.

Can detect which hard drives could potentially fail.

They scan the backups at night – don’t need to scan workstations.

They have a whitelist to prevent false positives.

9:12 am: Serguei comes back on stage.

You want proactive monitoring on who has access to your system.

Behavioral access control – we monitor user behavior and signal when something strange is happening.
