Acronis, a global provider of cyber protection, announced it was partnering with the World Economic Forum Centre for Cybersecurity to join the efforts of this private-public network to respond to the world’s growing cybersecurity threats. As the digital economy becomes an ever-increasing driver around the globe, cybersecurity becomes a primary concern.
Engaging leaders from business, government, civil society, academia, and a multitude of sectors, the World Economic Forum Centre for Cybersecurity champions cybersecurity as a competitive advantage that creates value and opportunities for public and private organizations.
Security and cyber resiliency
Through this partnership, Acronis will contribute its unique approach to cyber protection, which provides a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity, to develop innovations that will solve the security and protection challenges of the future. Specifically, Acronis will engage in the Cyber Risk and Corporate Governance project to help establish a baseline understanding of key cyber security issues, while providing guidance on strategies for security and cyber resiliency.
“The Forum’s most recent global risk report noted that the top five global threats were cybersecurity related, with cyber attacks and data theft among the most immediate dangers,” according to Acronis Founder and CEO Serguei “SB” Beloussov.
