Integrated endpoint detection and response + backup solution for MSPs enables mass adoption of advanced security capabilities
Singapore, NFAPost: Acronis, the global leader in cyber protection, announced the general availability of Acronis Advanced Security + Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) for Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud.
With new capabilities such as AI-based attack analysis, Acronis EDR reduces complexity and simplifies workflows for a more streamlined operation, making it easier than ever for MSPs and the businesses they serve to deploy comprehensive security and data protection.
With more organizations turning to MSPs for their backup and security needs, and with a greater need for simplicity and efficiency, Acronis EDR aims to expand the adoption of advanced security capabilities, helping organizations of all sizes better protect themselves.
IDC Research Vice President of Security and Trust Michael Suby said with the proliferation of endpoints and increasing frequency of cyber threats, EDR has become a mission-critical tool in incident response and the fight for data protection.
“But solutions that are difficult to deploy and maintain are an obstacle. The best solutions deliver the advanced security of EDR and meet the needs of the IT professionals who use it. That means easy deployments and rapid detection, response, and recovery with AI and automation on board,” said IDC Research Vice President of Security and Trust Michael Suby.
Acronis EDR offers the broadest number of out-of-the-box recovery options that take advantage of the integration with Acronis Cyber Protect’ backup and recovery, endpoint management, and endpoint security capabilities. Designed for Managed Service Providers (MSPs), it allows them to quickly and easily analyze and prioritize security incidents, minimize downtime, and maintain business continuity while keeping their clients safe and protected.
Acronis VP of Research Candid Wüest said other EDR tools can be over-complicated and force MSPs into expensive, time-consuming processes to implement and understand.
“Acronis EDR delivers a robust EDR solution that is easy to deploy and use while following industry-established standards like the NIST cybersecurity framework and mapping to the MITRE ATT&CK® framework. By rapidly understanding attack analysis and impact, Acronis EDR users can quickly evaluate a potential threat, gain insight into how an attacker gained access, what damage was caused, and how the attack might spread,” said Acronis VP of Research Candid Wüest.
Acronis EDR delivers:
Optimised Incident Analysis to quickly and easily analyze and prioritize security incidents and potential attacks without relying on costly security expertise or time-consuming processes.
Integrated Security with Backup & Recovery, for comprehensive protection critical to minimizing downtime and maintaining business continuity in the event of an attack.
A Complete Cyber Protection Solution in a single agent — simple for MSPs to deploy, manage, and scale — that eliminates the cost, complexity, and security gaps inherent in multiple-point solutions.
Former FBI Counter Intelligence Operative Eric O’Neill as a cybersecurity expert, he has witnessed firsthand the evolution of EDR and how it has revolutionised the way to approach security.
“EDR allows security personnel to efficiently investigate, remediate, and recover from potential incidents while also reducing the attack surface and threat actor dwell time. The latest advances in EDR technology allow for rapid analysis of attack changes, shortened time to respond to incidents, and better business continuity for all organizations,” said Former FBI Counter Intelligence Operative Eric O’Neill.
Acronis EDR is available through the Acronis Advanced Security + EDR Advanced Pack. MSPs requiring more detailed information or a one-on-one service provider demo can find those resources here: https://go.acronis.com/security-edr-blog
