Acronis, the global provider of Cyber Protection, introduces its new product, Acronis Advanced Security + EDR for Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, live from their annual #CyberFit Summit. By reducing the complexity found in other EDR solutions, Advanced Security + EDR provides an innovative approach to effective threat detection, containment, and remediation.
Acronis Advanced Security + EDR simplifies the complex solutions required to keep up with today’s sophisticated threat landscape by adhering to industry-established standards and mapping to the MITRE ATT&CK® framework. It accomplishes this through the use of its unified platform approach, which enables IT teams to detect and understand advanced attacks and then recover quickly through features such as attack-specific, one-click rollback. Companies dramatically reduce the time-tax on highly specialized (and expensive) security analysts as well as the time-to-remediate (TTR) for business operations by correlating events, analyzing attack chains, and presenting human-friendly, guided interpretations.
This announcement follows a series of milestones for the company, beginning with the unveiling of their innovative, behavioral-based DLP product at RSAC 2022 in June and, more recently, their receipt of the AV-TEST Approved badge for Corporate Endpoint Protection on macOS.
“Acronis has been a great fit for us for solid endpoint protection,” said Dave Millier, CSO at Quick Intelligence. “The single agent playing double-duty was a key deciding factor in choosing to go with Acronis. We’re super excited to see that EDR is coming to that same agent as it will help us take our customer’s cyber protection to the next level, without having to rely on another vendor and another agent. Acronis just keeps innovating and we keep benefiting.”
Acronis Advanced Security + EDR is a component of the Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud platform, which enables businesses and their service providers to provide comprehensive protection across the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework Core. This new addition to Acronis’ cyber defenses includes:
In addition to its innovative approach to ensure all businesses have more access to sophisticated technologies for better protection, Acronis is uniquely poised to enable their extensive, global network of managed service provider partners to offer MDR services to down-market clients at healthy margins and compelling client price points while avoiding the high-end, licensing costs and MDR competition for their clients from pure-play security vendors
Marco Monaco at Acronis Partner and Italian Managed Service Provider, MEGABIT shared, “Since the protection is well priced and the performance is good, we are extending Acronis more and more among our customers since it offers with just one agent practically every service available – which is a beautiful thing, especially for us MSPs. We are excited about EDR and can’t wait to try it.”
Global ransomware damages are expected to exceed $30 billion by 2023, according to the August Acronis Cyber Protection Operation Centers Report. Ransomware remains the most serious threat to large and medium-sized businesses. With its holistic, NIST-compliant approach to business continuity, Acronis is significantly reducing the success of ransomware attacks as well as the number of phishing, malware, and advanced attack URLs, blocking 21 million URLs on endpoints in Q2 2022 alone.
“EDR technology is an essential addition to any cybersecurity stance,” said Candid Wüest, VP of Acronis Research “For example, we know that previously unknown zero-day exploits account for 80% of breaches.1 We’re facing this down by focusing on real-world security and business outcomes for our customers and partners as our top priority with fast and easy remediation being of the utmost importance.”
The Acronis Advanced Security + EDR early access program will be available in December for Acronis partners and generally available in Q1-2023.
