[116] How Cybersecurity and Cyber Protection Keeps Your MSP Clients Safe

In this episode, Richard Tubb talks to James Slaby. James is the Director of Cyber Protection and Solutions Marketing at Acronis. This role sees him creating assets, identifying markets to expand into and delivering talks and webinars on all things cybersecurity.

Acronis are a multinational tech company with a focus on cyber protection, cybersecurity and supporting MSPs and businesses to keep their data safe. This interview was recorded live at the CyberFit Summit in Miami, Florida, in November 2022.

James and Richard talked about what cyber protection is, and why MSPs need to help their clients to understand that it’s a continual process. James also explained the importance of cyber protection for cloud services.

They discussed where MSPs and their clients are exposing themselves to attacks, why all businesses need disaster recovery, why MSPs should protect their clients against ransomware attacks, and how cybersecurity awareness training can help businesses.

James also talked Richard through some of the Acronis products and why the solution is so easy to deploy. They looked at how the company has become a household name and how sports team-ups have helped – and how MSPs can do the same.
