The integration of endpoint protection with advanced security tools makes it possible to counter attacks leveraging artificial intelligence (AI)
PRAGUE, January 22, 2024 – Acronis, a global leader in cyber protection solutions, announced the native integration of advanced security and endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions in the form of the Advanced Security and Endpoint Detection and Response package as part of the Acronis Cyber Cloud MSP platform. This integration follows findings that traditional security is insufficient against the sharp rise in artificial intelligence-driven cyberattacks. In response to growing demand, Acronis provides users with access to critical EDR capabilities at no additional cost.
The combination of various cybersecurity features, prompted by the rapidly growing number of AI-powered cyberattacks, will help MSP providers strengthen their defense strategy against evolving threats in an effective yet cost-efficient manner. In the rapidly changing cybersecurity landscape, EDR is no longer merely an advantage but an essential defense against the daily onslaught of sophisticated cyber threats.
Managed service providers (MSPs) have historically faced challenges associated with operating a disparate set of security tools, resulting in increased administrative burden, a higher likelihood of human error, and an overall more vulnerable environment. Acronis addresses these critical issues through the seamless integration of endpoint protection (EDR) with device management and backup and recovery solutions.
“MSPs and their customers constantly face attacks and increasingly sophisticated threats. Traditional anti-malware offerings have become outdated, which is why MSPs need EDR,” said Ezequiel Steiner, CEO of Acronis. “We understand the challenges associated with implementing comprehensive EDR, especially in terms of cost, which is why we have added it at no additional charge. This enables MSP partners to deploy Acronis EDR across all endpoints they manage, with its key strengths being a user experience that improves administrator efficiency and automation that significantly reduces false positives.”
Key features and benefits of the integrated Acronis Advanced Security + EDR solution for MSPs include:
– Complete security solution: MSPs can easily deploy and operate a comprehensive security platform that includes rapid recovery capabilities in the event of a successful attack. This integrated approach streamlines security measures and provides unified protection against modern threats.
– Protection and regulatory compliance: The solution enables MSPs to protect customers against modern threats and easily meet cybersecurity regulatory requirements. Thanks to integrated Acronis technologies, partners can strengthen their position and ensure the highest standards of protection and compliance.
– Greater efficiency: Minimizing administrative burden by using a single security platform enables MSP providers to maximize efficiency. Easy access simplifies management, reduces errors, and increases overall operational efficiency.
The development of artificial intelligence (AI) tools has enabled attackers to increase the sophistication, volume, and speed of attacks. This escalation poses a greater threat to MSPs and their clients, underscoring the need for a more comprehensive and easy-to-manage security platform. Acronis recognizes the critical importance of securing all endpoints and therefore recommends that MSP providers deploy EDR on every endpoint. Although MSPs often focus on protecting only critical points, it is important to recognize that every endpoint can serve as an entry point for network intrusion. Security must extend to all endpoints to ensure a complete cyber protection solution.
By integrating Advanced Security and EDR solutions, Acronis reinforces its position as a security leader by offering solutions that comprehensively address these emerging challenges.
