Acronis brings new endpoint security solution to MSPs

Acronis, the global cyberprotection provider, has announced the general availability of Acronis Advanced Security + Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) for Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud.

With new capabilities such as AI-based attack analysis, Acronis EDR reduces complexity and simplifies workflows for a more streamlined operation, making it easier than ever for managed service providers (MSPs) and the businesses they serve to deploy security and data protection.

“With the proliferation of endpoints and increasing frequency of cyberthreats, EDR has become a mission-critical tool in incident response and the fight for data protection. But solutions that are difficult to deploy and maintain are an obstacle,” said Research VP of Security and Trust Michael Suby at IDC.

“The best solutions deliver the advanced security of EDR and meet the needs of the IT professionals who use it. That means easy deployments and rapid detection, response, and recovery with AI and automation on board.”

Acronis EDR offers the broadest number of out-of-the-box recovery options that take advantage of the integration with Acronis Cyber Protect’s backup and recovery, endpoint management, and endpoint security capabilities. Designed for MSPs, it allows them to quickly and easily analyse and prioritise security incidents, minimise downtime, and maintain business continuity while keeping their clients safe and protected.

“Other EDR tools can be over-complicated and force MSPs into expensive, time-consuming processes to implement and understand. Acronis EDR delivers a robust EDR solution that is easy to deploy and use while following industry-established standards like the NIST cybersecurity framework and mapping to the MITRE ATT&CK framework,” said Candid Wüest, VP of Research at Acronis.

“By rapidly understanding attack analysis and impact, Acronis EDR users can quickly evaluate a potential threat, gain insight into how an attacker gained access, what damage was caused, and how the attack might spread.”

Acronis EDR delivers:

 Optimised Incident Analysis to quickly and easily analyse and prioritise security incidents and potential attacks without relying on costly security expertise or time-consuming processes.

 Integrated Security with Backup & Recovery, for comprehensive protection critical to minimising downtime and maintaining business continuity in the event of an attack.

 A cyberprotection solution that is simple for MSPs to deploy, manage, and scale. This eliminates the cost, complexity, and security gaps inherent in multiple-point solutions.

  "As a cybersecurity expert, I have witnessed firsthand the evolution of EDR and how it has revolutionised the way we approach security,” said Eric O'Neill, former FBI counterintelligence operative.

“EDR allows security personnel to efficiently investigate, remediate, and recover from potential incidents while also reducing the attack surface and threat actor dwell time. The latest advances in EDR technology allow for rapid analysis of attack changes, shortened time to respond to incidents, and better business continuity for all organisations.”
