Award-winning SME software offers additional services important for customer protection
Acronis, world leader in cyber protection solutions, has added platforms to its SME Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud several new features incl Acronis Copilot AI assistant, archiving for Microsoft 365 and automated EDR/XDR incident response procedures. Thanks to the latest innovations, SMEs can offer their current and future customers a wide range of cyber protection services that minimize cyber risks and ensure compliance with regulations and guidelines – such as NIS 2.
Key innovations include:
– Acronis Copilot makes security operations more efficient and faster. Acronis Copilot GenAI Assistant from Acronis enables SME technicians with limited security skills to respond to incidents efficiently and quickly. It also simplifies operations for highly skilled technicians, allowing them to focus on strategic tasks. Copilot enables SMEs to investigate, respond and mitigate risks in minutes using only a conversational GenAI-assisted user experience.
– SaaS e-mail archiving for Microsoft 365 (test access). Simplifies email discovery and compliance for clients of all sizes. Aimed at SMB providers, this service offers powerful search, flexible retention and delivery for legal or audit purposes with a fast self-service user experience. With this release, MSPs can now provide complete, natively integrated data protection for Microsoft 365, including backup and recovery, email security, collaboration application security, and email archiving through a single interface.
– Transition from manual response to faster automated processes. Partners can now automate XDR and EDR incident responses. This allows them to scale security operations and reduce response times while reducing the operational burden associated with managing security incidents. They can easily create automated workflows that trigger a specific response based on specific conditions. The use of automation also supports the business growth of SME providers and further reduces the costs associated with scaling a team to support multiple clients or IT infrastructures.
– S3 storage support. Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud now natively supports any publicly or privately hosted S3-compatible storage for backup, eliminating the need for additional input devices. AWS S3 API compatibility has been tested with MinIO, Cloudian, Backblaze B2, Impossible Cloud, and Acronis Cyber Infrastructure. It also makes backups more secure by supporting saving them to any S3-compatible storage using Object Lock, which ensures data immutability. This feature protects against ransomware and cyber attacks and ensures compliance with a range of regulations by preventing tampering and accidental or intentional deletion.
– Integration with the Okta service. Simplifies access management with single sign-on (SSO) and automatic user provisioning to Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud through the Okta identity management system. It offers automated provisioning, deletion, and synchronization of user accounts and attributes, and universal credential sign-on through Okta SSO.
“This year, for the third time in a row, Acronis was declared the best B2B software on the Czech and Slovak market according to local IT vendors and SMEs,” he said. Štěpán Bínek, Acronis cloud solutions sales manager at ZEBRA SYSTEMS. “Our partners appreciate not only the efficient and user-friendly interface, but also the constant improvement of the Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud platform with new services that quickly respond to the needs and demands of end customers.”
