Why do I need both virus protection and backups?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Apple users sometimes believe that they’re immune from computer viruses (“malware”). Sadly, that’s not true. Apple’s operating systems do a good job of protecting from many attacks. But lately, there has been a rise in the number of ransomware attacks targeting Apple devices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In such an attack, you might be locked out of your data until you’ve paid a ransom. How can you avoid this? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Prevent ransomware attacks before they happen<\/li>
  • Have a good backup strategy to ensure easy reloading of your devices<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Acronis can help you in both of these areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
