Acronis Cyber Protective Solutions

Acronis is a global technology company that specializes in cyber protection, a field it pioneered by natively integrating cybersecurity, data protection and endpoint management into a single platform.

Acronis provides scalable cyber protection solutions designed for a wide range of users, from individual consumers to global enterprises. Their primary focus is on three core segments:

  • Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs): Businesses with fewer than 100 employees or up to $50M in revenue that require an all-in-one, "one-click" solution to manage backup and cybersecurity without a dedicated IT team.
  • Managed Service Providers (MSPs): Over 21,000 providers use the Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud platform to deliver integrated security and recovery services to multiple end clients through a single, multi-tenant dashboard.
  • Mid-market and Large Enterprises: Organizations with 100 to over 1,000 employees or $1B+ in revenue that need to protect complex, global IT estates using advanced features like Disaster Recovery (DR), Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and EDR/XDR.

Acronis serves critical industries, including information technology (IT), healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and the public sector, providing data sovereignty and high availability for specialized systems.

Integrated Protection for Today’s Cyber Threats

Modern businesses face a volatile landscape where sophisticated, AI-driven cyber threats like ransomware and phishing converge with physical disruptions, including natural disasters. These events often result in "business paralysis," leading to massive operational downtime, severe financial losses and long-term reputational damage. Beyond external attacks, vulnerabilities such as insider threats and supply chain failures create a compound risk that can be terminal for smaller organizations. To maintain stability, companies must defend against both the exfiltration of sensitive data and the catastrophic infrastructure failures that render workspaces unusable.

Acronis provides a unified defense by integrating AI-powered email security and rapid data recovery into a single proactive platform. To stop threats before they reach the inbox, the system utilizes CPU-level analysis and anti-evasion technology to detect zero-day exploits and hidden payloads in seconds. It further secures environments by monitoring for account takeovers and using machine learning to identify sophisticated phishing attempts. If a breach occurs, the platform ensures business continuity with automatic ransomware rollbacks and safe recovery scans that prevent reinfection. Organizations can achieve near-zero downtime through instant virtual machine restoration and granular recovery of specific files or mailboxes.
