Acronis ensures that its users have access to critical EDR features at no additional cost.
SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland, January 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Acronisa global leader in cyber protectiontoday announced a revolutionary advancement with the native integration of its Advanced security and endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions. This industry-first milestone not only reinforces Acronis’ position at the forefront of cyber protection, but also aligns perfectly with the recognition that traditional security is insufficient in the face of the rise of cyber-based attacks. ‘AI. In response to this growing need, Acronis ensures that its users have access to critical EDR features at no additional cost. Guest by increasing rapidly AI-powered cyberattacks, this combination of cybersecurity capabilities will help partners consolidate their defense strategy against evolving threats in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
In this rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, EDR is no longer just a preference: it is a necessity for fortifying MSPs against the daily onslaught of sophisticated cyber threats. MSPs have historically faced the challenges of operating a disparate set of security tools, leading to high administrative overhead, increased risks of human error, and a more vulnerable overall environment. Acronis solves these critical problems by seamlessly integrating endpoint detection and response (EDR) with endpoint management and backup and recovery solutions.
“MSPs and their customers are under constant attack and face increasingly sophisticated threats. Traditional antimalware offerings have become obsolete. MSPs need EDR,” said Ezequiel Steiner, CEO of Acronis. “Recognizing the challenges of widespread adoption of EDR, including cost and complexity for MSPs, we added it at no additional cost, disrupting the security market and enabling them to deploy security Acronis on ALL endpoints. Acronis EDR is notable for its MSP-centric design, improving technician efficiency through automation and significantly reducing false positives.
Key features and benefits of the Acronis Advanced Security + EDR integrated solution for MSPs include:
-
Complete security solution: MSPs can easily launch and implement a comprehensive security framework that includes rapid recovery capabilities in the event of a successful attack. This integrated approach streamlines security measures, providing a unified front against modern threats.
-
Compliance and protection: The solution enables MSPs to protect against modern threats and easily comply with cyber insurance requirements. With Acronis’ integrated technologies, partners can strengthen their security posture, ensuring the highest standards of protection and compliance.
-
Better efficiency: By minimizing administrative overhead with a single security platform, Acronis enables MSPs to maximize their efficiency. The streamlined approach simplifies management tasks, reducing the risk of errors and improving overall operational efficiency.
Advances in AI (Artificial Intelligence) tools have enabled threat actors to improve the sophistication, volume and speed of attacks. This escalation of attacks poses a greater threat to MSPs and their customers, highlighting the need for a more comprehensive and simplified security framework. Acronis addresses these challenges, responding to the evolving needs of its partners and driving innovation in cyber protection. To respond to industry developments, Acronis takes a forward-thinking approach, paving the way for the future of the security industry by providing a complete, all-in-one solution.
Recognizing the critical importance of securing all endpoints, Acronis recommends MSPs deploy security on every endpoint. Although MSPs often focus on protecting only critical endpoints, it is critical to recognize that any endpoint can serve as an entry point for network penetration. Security must extend to all endpoints to ensure a comprehensive cyber protection solution. Acronis’ integration of Advanced Security and EDR solutions reaffirms its commitment to leading the security industry by offering solutions that comprehensively address these emerging challenges.
