In today’s digital world, the causes of data loss are constantly evolving. In response, Acronis has been leading a movement to address these modern risks with an approach that combines the safety of traditional data protection with cutting-edge cybersecurity countermeasures. Acronis calls this next generation approach “cyber protection.”

Now Acronis is planning the world’s largest gathering of cyber protection professionals. Called The Acronis Global Cyber Summit 2019, the two-and-a-half-day conference will be focused on improving the protection of critical digital assets and systems.

Slated for October 13–16, 2019 at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach Resort, the conference promises to be the must-attend event for IT infrastructure managers, CIOs, service providers, value-added resellers, ISVs, and developers.

In promoting the next generation of cyber protection solutions, Acronis argues that effective digital defenses must address the Five Vectors of Cyber Protection — ensuring the safety, accessibility, privacy, authenticity, and security of data (nicknamed SAPAS).

The Acronis Global Cyber Summit 2019 will explore this new reality in depth and attendees will learn how cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and cloud services are being deployed to protect against the kinds of data loss and security breaches that can devastate modern organizations and infrastructure.
