Acronis Launches Ultimate 365 in Dubai, Strengthening Microsoft 365 Security for MSPs

Acronis, a global cybersecurity and data protection firm, has launched Acronis Ultimate 365, an advanced Microsoft 365 protection solution for Managed Service Providers (MSPs). Announced at the Threat Research Unit (TRU) Partner Day in Dubai, this all-in-one platform simplifies cybersecurity, backup, and compliance with a natively integrated, multi-tenant approach, boosting efficiency, reducing workload, and maximizing profitability for MSPs.

With Microsoft 365 holding over 40% market share in regions like the UAE, Acronis’ 370+ regional MSP partners, including 200 based in the UAE, have a significant opportunity to enhance their service offerings.

Ziad Nasr, General Manager, Acronis Middle East, emphasized the growing cybersecurity risks for Microsoft 365 users, including phishing, social engineering, and email-based threats. Many MSPs currently rely on seven or more separate tools per customer, leading to operational inefficiencies and security gaps. Acronis Ultimate 365 eliminates these challenges by providing a single, fully integrated solution that enhances security while simplifying management.

Acronis Ultimate 365 offers backup, extended detection and response (XDR), email security, collaboration app security, email archiving, security posture management, and security awareness training in one streamlined platform. This approach accelerates revenue generation by enabling MSPs to onboard clients quickly without delays caused by contract negotiations, manual integrations, or extensive training. By consolidating security, backup, and compliance, Acronis Ultimate 365 helps MSPs reduce costs, improve scalability, and simplify customer management.

Gerald Beuchelt, CISO at Acronis, highlighted the platform’s benefits, stating that MSPs need a cost-effective, simplified way to manage Microsoft 365 security without juggling multiple tools. Acronis Ultimate 365 integrates XDR, email security, and security awareness training into a single, powerful platform, allowing MSPs to enhance security while streamlining client management. The solution introduces a predictable pricing model, helping MSPs scale their services while meeting diverse customer needs.

The email archiving feature of Acronis Ultimate 365 will be available in early access until Q2 2025, after which it will be generally available. The security posture management tool is also nearing deployment, further strengthening the platform’s capabilities. With Acronis Ultimate 365, Middle East MSPs can differentiate their services, create new revenue opportunities, and deliver advanced Microsoft 365 protection with ease.
