Acronis, the global provider of cyber protection, has introduced a new Advanced Data Loss Prevention (DLP) pack for Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, a game-changing solution that protects managed service providers (MSPs) and businesses of all sizes from data leakage.

Notably, the solution does not require months for deployment, and highly skilled teams to maintain it.

This expansion, based on decades of experience enabling MSPs in data protection, addresses the main barriers to wider adoption of DLP solutions: grueling roll-out and time-consuming ongoing administrative execution.

Organizations have struggled for years to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access through external attacks or insider risks such as IT misconfigurations and human error. Only a few large enterprises had the resources to deal with the overall complexity, high deployment costs, and other significant challenges associated with DLP adoption. As a result, according to Global Industry Analysts Inc., the global DLP market is expected to exceed US$6 billion by 2026.

According to the 2021 Gartner® Market Guide for Data Loss Prevention, “Small and midsize organizations often struggle to implement and operate DLP tools. Consulting and managed DLP services can offer a path to value in terms of managing tools, but they cannot replace internal data knowledge and ownership of risk by business units.”

“Across the clients we work with daily, fear of their financial records or customer data appearing on Google search keeps them up at night. It keeps us up, too,” said Lawrence Troemel, President of NobleTec. “We want to help them close the gap, but it’s really tough to cost-effectively succeed within short time frames – especially when a new customer comes to us after a major breach.”

Acronis Advanced DLP

The addition of behavioral-based DLP capabilities to the Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud platform expands its ability to provide unified data protection, cybersecurity, and management across systems, data, and workloads regardless of location. It provides an unrivaled set of cyber protection capabilities that span the NIST cybersecurity framework from identification to recovery, ensuring business continuity in the face of cybercriminals, insider risk threats, or technology failure.

The Early Access version of Acronis Advanced DLP:

  • Protects sensitive data transferred via a wide array of user and system connections including for example, instant messaging and peripheral devices.
  • Uses the same, unified Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud console and agent for data visibility and classification.
  • Offers out-of-box data classification templates for common regulatory frameworks including GDPR, HIPAA and PCI DSS.  
  • Provides continuous monitoring for DLP incidents with multiple policy enforcement options, enabling ongoing automated policy adjustment to business-specifics.
  • Includes robust audit and logging capabilities, giving administrators the ability to respond effectively to DLP events and conduct post-breach forensic investigations.

MSPs and businesses will benefit from faster, easier deployment and time-to-value with a single platform and agent enabling this highly accessible form of DLP, while avoiding all of the most common data threats. Larger organizations that require immediate protection while evaluating more complex and sophisticated DLP programs with multi-year implementation cycles can reap the same benefits.

Acronis Early Access Program

This new Advanced DLP technology is now available through Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud in an Early Access Program. Acronis customers and partners who already use the platform can provision and test the solution for free.

Furthermore, for organizations new to Acronis and its platform, a free trial of the Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud platform with Advanced DLP is available.
