Acronis, a global provider of cyberprotection, has announced the availability of Acronis Cyber Protect, a cyberprotection solution that integrates backup, disaster recovery, next-generation anti-malware, cybersecurity, and endpoint management tools into a single service.
Acronis Cyber Protect eliminates complexity, improves productivity, and enables managed service providers (MSPs) to efficiently make security a focal point of their portfolio. The primary challenges MSPs face are complexity, inadequate security, and low productivity. The lack of integration between the patchwork of vendor solutions they use to build their services decreases security, complicates employee training, productivity, and usability – all while increasing support and licensing costs with multiple vendors.
Acronis Cyber Protect changes the game by giving MSPs a single solution to deliver backup, anti-malware, security, and endpoint management capabilities such as vulnerability assessments, URL filtering, and patch management. These integrated capabilities create new opportunities for MSPs to deliver enhanced cybersecurity.
With Acronis Cyber Protect, MSPs can proactively avoid cyberattacks, minimise downtime, ensure fast and easy recoveries, and automate the configuration of client protection to counter the latest cyberthreats. The result is improved margins, better profitability, easier service level agreement (SLA) compliance, greater performance, and decreased churn – all at a lower cost.
AV-Test, the German security institute known for putting malware security solutions through rigorous testing on a computer running Windows 10 Professional, tested both the status and dynamic detection rates of Acronis Cyber Protect. The organisation scanned 6,932 malicious Windows executable (PE) files. Acronis scored perfectly with a verified 100% detection rate, and delivered a perfect result in the lab’s false-positive test, causing zero false positives. A false positive occurs when the software says there is a cyberthreat, but none exists.
Acronis recognizes that even with these test results and AI-enhanced protection, it is impossible to achieve 100% security at every moment. If a threat does slip through the security measures, Acronis Cyber Protect provides the best business continuity to ensure businesses are able to restore affected data, applications, and systems quickly and effectively.
Acronis designed Acronis Cyber Protect to help MSPs and their clients smoothly and safely meet the challenges of today’s remote work environments including:

“Traditional backup solutions are dead because they are not secure enough, and traditional antivirus applications do not protect data from modern cyberthreats. Legacy solutions are no longer able to counter the dangers today’s businesses face,” said Acronis Founder and CEO Serguei “SB” Beloussov.
“Service providers need to offer their clients integrated cyber protection that covers all Five Vectors of Cyber Protection - safety, accessibility, privacy, authenticity, and security. With Acronis Cyber Protect, service providers have the ability to deliver solutions that ensure their clients are #CyberFit and ready to face any new threats.”
Acronis Cyber Protect features one unified licensing model, one agent and backend, one management console, one user interface, and a high level of integration among services – sharing data and automating actions to improve the security posture for endpoint and edge devices.
“The unique integration of AI-powered data protection and cybersecurity in Acronis Cyber Protect enables Ingram Micro Cloud to satisfy the cyberprotection needs of service providers, small and medium businesses, and enterprise-edge workloads,” said Tim Fitzgerald, VP, Cloud Channel Sales, Ingram Micro.
“Acronis is among the companies on the forefront for integrated data protection and cyberprotection,” said Phil Goodwin, Research Director, Infrastructure Systems, Platforms and Technologies Group, IDC.
“We believe that Acronis Cyber Protect is among the most comprehensive attempts to provide data protection and cybersecurity to date.”
Acronis offers cyberprotection through its backup, anti-malware, disaster recovery, cybersecurity, endpoint management, storage, and enterprise file sync and share solutions. Acronis’ products are available through 50,000 partners and service providers in over 150 countries in more than 40 languages.
