SINGAPORE, May 5, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Enabling service providers to cut costs and defend their clients against 
cyberthreats through AI-powered integration of data protection and 
cybersecurity – with total Zoom security, COVID-19 URL filtering and a 100% 
detection rate 

Acronis, a global leader in cyber 
protection[https://www.acronis.com/en-us/cyber-protection/], announced today 
the availability of Acronis Cyber Protect, an innovative new cyber protection 
solution that integrates backup, disaster recovery, next-gen anti-malware, 
cybersecurity, and endpoint management tools into one service. Acronis Cyber 
Protect eliminates complexity, improves productivity, and enables managed 
service providers (MSP) to efficiently make security a focal point of their 
portfolio – ensuring their business can meet client expectations for data, 
applications, and systems security and protection.

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, minimize 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 SLA compliance, 
greater performance, and decreased churn – all at a lower cost.

AV-Test, the respected German security institute known for putting malware 
security solutions through rigorous testing on a computer running Windows 10 
Professional – testing both the status and dynamic detection rates of Acronis 
Cyber Protect, scanning a set of 6,932 malicious Windows executable (PE) files. 
Acronis scored perfectly with a verified 100% detection rate[ 
https://www.acronis.com/en-us/blog/posts/100-detection-rate-zero-false-alarms-independent-lab-tests-acronis-cyber-protect-cloud], 
and delivered a perfect result in the lab's false-positive test, causing zero 
false positives. More information about the test is available 
here[https://www.acronis.com/en-us/resource-center/resource/483/].

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.

Helping MSPs secure remote work amid COVID-19 

Acronis rapidly developed a holistic set of features for Acronis Cyber Protect 
to help MSPs and their clients smoothly and safely meet the challenges of 
today's remote work environments including:

-To help with finances: The ability to pause billing for non-paying customers 
while preserving their backups; Launched Acronis #CyberFit Financing and 
promotions through July 31, 2020; No extra charges for Acronis Cyber Protect 
and no billing for Acronis Cyber Backup for new clients 

-To help protect employees: Voice-enabled, touchless control for remote 
connections to office machines for end-users; Security alerts from Acronis 
Cyber Protection Operations Centers related to COVID-19 
-For remote work devices and users: Default templates with secure protection 
plans for remote work devices; Native VPN capability; Secure file sync and 
share integration; Remote data wipe

The industry needs unified, modern cyber protection

"Traditional backup solutions are dead because they are not secure enough, and 
traditional anti-virus 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 is a demonstration of the power of integration. It 
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 greatly 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 cyber 
protection needs of service providers, small and medium businesses, and 
enterprise-edge workloads," said Tim Fitzgerald, Vice President, Cloud Channel 
Sales, Ingram Micro.

"Acronis is among the companies on the forefront for integrated data protection 
and cyber protection," 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."

The Acronis roadmap expands the availability of Acronis Cyber Protect to all 
businesses worldwide, with a personal version of the solution planned for 
release in Q3 2020.
