01732 759725 BULLETIN Acronis celebrates partnership anniversary with Arsenal Acronis celebrated the first anniversary of its technology partnership with Arsenal by inviting its partners and customers to Emirates Stadium for a friendly game of football. Eight teams comprised of staff from global IT companies and several legendary sports organisations, including Arsenal, Manchester City, ROKiT Williams Racing and others, met on the iconic pitch to play in the Acronis World Cup. The event was organised both to mark The Gunners’ partnership with Acronis while raising awareness of modern cyberthreats and the vital need for modern cyber protection – which combines the best advantages of data protection, cybersecurity and privacy controls. www.acronis.com Maven leads investment in Symphonic Software Maven Capital Partners has led an investment, alongside existing shareholders Par Equity and the Scottish Investment Bank, in Edinburgh-based Symphonic Software. Symphonic, which is redefining how organisations manage access by employees, customers and partners to sensitive data and key digital services, will use the funding to invest in sales channels to further scale the business. Symphonic has developed a fine-grained, context-aware authorisation software solution that enables organisations to securely share critical, time-dependent and sensitive information by managing access to data and services in the inter-connected digital economy. It does this by enabling the user to set rules and controls, even for the most complex administrative requirements, at extreme granular levels. A powerful policy management interface incorporated into the system provides centralised visibility and control over the policies that apply to an enterprise's entire digital landscape. This makes access management more simple and agile, helping support rapidly emerging needs for sharing data both inside and outside an organisation, while maintaining compliance with internal policies and external regulations. www.mavencp.com Y Soft and Brother collaboration offers improved print management solution Businesses can now enjoy increased productivity, improved document security and reduced print services costs with YSoft SafeQ, now available as an embedded solution on Brother multifunctional devices.
