Acronis Introduces Comprehensive MDR Solution for Global Managed Service Providers
In a significant development for the cybersecurity industry, Acronis has officially launched Acronis MDR by Acronis TRU, a fully managed detection and response service designed specifically for managed service providers worldwide. The service provides continuous 24/7/365 threat monitoring, rapid incident response, and enhanced cyber resilience capabilities through the company's specialized Threat Research Unit.
Addressing Critical Security Gaps for Service Providers
As cyber threats continue to evolve in both sophistication and frequency, many managed service providers face substantial challenges in delivering advanced security services to their clients. The traditional barriers of high costs, specialized expertise requirements, and complex infrastructure needs have made comprehensive security offerings difficult for MSPs to implement effectively.
Acronis MDR by Acronis TRU directly addresses these challenges by providing a globally accessible solution that enables MSPs to expand their security portfolios without the operational complexity or financial burden of maintaining an in-house security operations center. The service delivers continuous monitoring, rapid threat containment, and expert incident response capabilities that help MSPs strengthen client security while significantly reducing operational overhead.
Integrated Approach to Cybersecurity
Unlike traditional managed detection and response services that often rely on multiple disparate tools for detection, remediation, and recovery processes, Acronis MDR by Acronis TRU offers an integrated, globally available solution optimized specifically for managed service providers of all sizes. The service combines advanced endpoint detection and response capabilities with integrated proactive protection features, including comprehensive patch management and built-in business continuity functions.
This integrated approach enables faster incident response times, streamlined security management processes, and improved overall cyber resilience for MSP clients. The solution is designed to provide a complete security framework that addresses the full spectrum of modern cyber threats while maintaining operational efficiency.
Executive Perspective on the New Service
Gaidar Magdanurov, President at Acronis, emphasized the service's accessibility and comprehensive nature, stating: "Acronis MDR by Acronis TRU was specifically engineered to make advanced detection and response capabilities accessible globally to managed service providers of any size. Unlike conventional MDR services, our solution combines proactive protection measures, integrated business continuity features, and Acronis' extensive cybersecurity expertise. This enables MSPs to deliver secure, high-quality managed detection and response services to their clients while minimizing operational complexity and associated costs."
Key Features and Benefits for Service Providers
The new service offers several significant advantages for managed service providers seeking to enhance their security offerings:
- Continuous 24/7 Monitoring and Rapid Response: The service provides uninterrupted endpoint monitoring, sophisticated threat triage capabilities, and rapid isolation procedures managed by Acronis' Threat Research Unit. Critical security incidents can be remediated in as little as fifteen minutes, ensuring minimal impact on client operations.
- Integrated Proactive Protection and Business Continuity: Built-in patch management systems and advanced attack rollback capabilities enable seamless protection and recovery processes, ensuring business continuity even during security incidents.
- High Accessibility for MSPs: Flexible pricing structures and simplified onboarding procedures make the MDR service easy to adopt and scale according to the specific needs of each managed service provider and their client base.
Industry Validation and Real-World Application
Robert Nieuwenhuijse, CEO at SIX ICT, provided insight into the practical benefits of the service, noting: "Building a robust security operation requires comprehensive 24/7 coverage and deep technical expertise. These are capabilities that mid-sized managed service providers typically cannot easily develop in-house. With Acronis MDR, we gain access to enterprise-level protection for our customers. We have been particularly impressed by the technical knowledge demonstrated by the MDR team—their thorough incident investigation methodologies, meticulous work processes, and clear communication protocols clearly demonstrate the senior expertise protecting our systems."
The launch of Acronis MDR by Acronis TRU represents a significant advancement in making enterprise-grade cybersecurity accessible to managed service providers globally, enabling them to offer sophisticated threat detection and response capabilities without the traditional barriers of cost and complexity.
