Acronis and Minterest offer cybersecurity, financing to Singapore businesses

Acronis, a global player in cyberprotection, is now offering Singapore businesses financing through a partnership with Minterest, a Singapore-based online financial services solutions provider. The two have joined forces to launch Acronis #CyberFit Financing, Powered by Minterest to provide Singapore-based businesses with financing support to remain resilient and #CyberFit during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Through this partnership, Acronis and Minterest hope to empower businesses by providing easy access to customised financing solutions to tide them through this difficult period while building their cybersecurity capabilities to ringfence their businesses.

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced businesses globally to operate remotely and people to work from home, Acronis observed. Very often, they work with unsecured digital networks and are vulnerable to cyberattacks. As a cyberprotection company, Acronis is dedicated to helping organisations safeguard their data, applications, and systems so they can remain productive and avoid costly downtime. During the COVID-19 outbreak, essential services will need cyberprotection to be #CyberFit, ensuring their IT infrastructure remains protected and operational.

Serguei Beloussov, Founder and CEO of Acronis, said: “Cybercriminals are ruthless— they see the coronavirus pandemic as an opportunity to target new vulnerabilities such as those caused by many staff migrating to home offices. Now more than ever, cyberprotection should be a key concern for every business, as a data breach that costs a company valuable data can cripple even large organisations.

"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is a solution we have developed to combat this global threat. Acronis is dedicated to doing our part to help businesses both in the digital and the real world. With support from our capable partners at Minterest, we hope to provide streamlined access to vital funding to ensure business continuity for as many Singapore businesses as possible.”

Beyond the heightened cybersecurity risk, businesses often face urgent cash flow issues. Minterest is able to bring speed to lending, as it is able to process and approve loan applications within 48 hours, upon full submission of necessary documents.
Charis Liau, CEO of Minterest, commented: “The COVID-19 outbreak has sent shock waves throughout the global economy and many companies are facing deteriorating business conditions and cash flow liquidity crunches. We are pleased to partner with Acronis to accelerate the access to financial aid for Singapore-based firms. We want to be here for them; not just get through the pandemic, but beyond that as well.”
