🚨 Microsoft SharePoint Zero-Day Breach

A serious zero-day vulnerability in Microsoft SharePoint Server has recently been exploited, exposing critical systems across a wide range of sectors — including universities, energy companies, and even federal agencies.

While Microsoft has released a patch, the reality is that the damage is already done.

Attackers successfully bypassed protections, gained unauthorized access, and in many cases, executed remote code, allowing them to take full control of affected servers. According to Google’s Threat Analysis Group, the flaw allows persistent and unauthenticated access even after the patch is applied in certain environments.

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has urged organizations to immediately disconnect potentially vulnerable servers from the internet. The FBI is involved. And cybersecurity experts are calling this “a dream scenario for ransomware operators.” But for most businesses, the key question now is:

What can you do if you’re not a multi million dollar enterprise?

The answer: prepare the right way.

Not just by relying on firewalls and patches that often come too late, but by building true cyber resilience into your operations. That means full system visibility, rapid recovery capabilities, and uncompromised control over your infrastructure and data. At palmiq, we understand that small and mid sized businesses need access to the same level of protection as the largest enterprises, without the complexity or cost. That’s why we’ve partnered with Acronis to deliver a full stack solution that keeps your systems safe, your business running, and your data fully under your control.

palmiq + Acronis: Real World Cyber Resilience for Today’s Threats

Cyberattacks are no longer hypothetical. In fact, it’s no longer a matter of if, but when. At palmiq, we go beyond monitoring. We help you recover instantly, isolate damage before it spreads, and operate confidently even in the middle of an attack. With Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, you get an integrated solution that combines advanced threat detection, disaster recovery, backup, patch management, and compliance tools, all in one platform.

Here’s what you got:

AI Powered Threat Detection

• Uses behavioral analysis and machine learning to identify malicious activity, not just known signatures.
• Detects and neutralizes ransomware, malware, zero-day exploits, and fileless attacks in real time.
• Offers proactive protection — reducing reliance on reactive patches or updates after a breach occurs.

Encrypted, Isolated, Tamper Proof Backups

• All backups are stored in air gapped environments, physically and logically separated from production systems.
• Backups are encrypted end to end, ensuring data integrity and preventing unauthorized access.
• Immutable backup technology prevents attackers — even with admin access — from modifying or deleting backup files.

Instant Recovery and Virtualization

• Systems can be restored in minutes by spinning up virtual machines directly from backups — even on new or temporary infrastructure.
• Eliminates dependency on hardware replacement, drastically reducing Recovery Time Objectives (RTO).
• Ideal for disaster recovery, ransomware response, or continuity during unexpected outages.

Ransomware Rollback and Anti Phishing Protection

• Automatically detects and halts ransomware encryption in progress and allows full rollback to a clean state.
• Real time URL and email scanning block phishing links, spoofed domains, and social engineering attempts.
• Protects endpoints, users, and internal systems from the most common and dangerous cyberattack vectors.

Integrated Patch Management

• Continuously scans your systems for known vulnerabilities and missing patches — including third party apps.
• Applies updates automatically, based on customizable policies — reducing human error and patching delays.
• Helps close security gaps before they’re exploited, with full reporting for audit trails.

Email Security and Data Loss Prevention (DLP)

• Filters inbound and outbound emails for malicious attachments, fraudulent content, and unapproved data sharing.
• Identifies and blocks sensitive information from leaving your organization via email (credit card numbers, health records, etc.).
• Enhances protection at the most frequent entry point for cyberattacks — the inbox.

Secure File Sync and Share with Compliance Controls

• Allows teams to share files securely across devices and locations with full visibility and control.
• Tracks all activity with audit logs, access permissions, and version history.
• Supports GDPR, HIPAA, and other data handling regulations — without needing external file sharing tools.

Built In Compliance Frameworks and Reporting

• Designed to meet the technical requirements of major standards like HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, SOC 2, and more.
• Includes customizable templates, automated monitoring, and evidence collection tools to streamline audits.
• Reduces compliance workload by centralizing data protection and reporting functions in one place.

Cybersecurity is No Longer Just a Technical Concern: It’s an Operational Priority

The risks today are broader than ever. A breach does more than compromise files, it can halt your business entirely. In regulated industries like healthcare, finance, education, or legal services, losing access to your data can instantly push you out of compliance. That can lead to financial penalties, litigation, and irreversible damage to your brand reputation.

At palmiq, we help you stay not only protected, but operational, no matter what threat makes the headlines next.

A Compliance Reminder: It’s Not Just About Passing Audits

Too often, compliance is treated like a box to check. But when your systems go offline, whether due to ransomware, insider error, or a supply chain breach, your ability to meet compliance standards is directly impacted. We design your cyber resilience plan to align with compliance by default, so you don’t just meet expectations, you exceed them, even under pressure.
