Recognition for the team behind the work
IT First Responder’s original announcement recorded two Acronis awards in 2024: CyberFit Excellence in Cybersecurity in Sydney and CyberFit Innovation in Barcelona.
The awards recognised the team’s work within the Acronis ecosystem. They are a historical milestone, not a guarantee that any product, provider or customer environment is immune to incidents.
