Keynote address
Acronis CEO Patrick Pulvermueller kicked off the three-day event in Miami Beach, Florida, USA with his keynote. He opened with staggering statistics illustrating the enormity of data today. There are currently 10 million physical servers on Earth, and data creation has increased 90-fold since 2010.
To protect this sheer enormity of data, consolidation and simplification are the future. Pulvermueller tied in the tagline of #CyberFit Summit, cyber protect the future, and emphasized Acronis’ unwavering focus on partner success, innovation and simplification. “The continuous rise of cyber protection the defining moment of our industry,” affirmed Pulvermueller. “During our #CyberFit Summit, we were thrilled to share our vision for Acronis and how cyber protection will evolve in the year ahead. At Acronis, we’re continuing to set our partners and customers up for success,” he continued.
Multiple sessions
In multiple sessions at the Acronis #CyberFit Summit in Miami, cybersecurity analysts and experts provided an inside look at how cyberattacks attacks work, how MSPs are impacted and how Acronis Cyber Protection Solutions prevent them.
