Research-Led Security Momentum from Acronis TRU
Contributing to Acronis’ accelerating security momentum is the Acronis Threat Research Unit (TRU), which has published 17 original pieces of threat research in 2025. The TRU Team’s research dives deep into malware, ransomware, and active threat vectors, helping advance the broader security community’s understanding of today’s threat landscape. Most notable pieces of research in 2025 include:

Third-Party Recognition Reinforces Market Leadership
Acronis’ momentum is validated by continued recognition from leading analysts and peer review platforms, including:

Rapid Product Innovation Expands Security Capabilities
Acronis continues to expand its security portfolio with launches and enhancements designed to reduce operational complexity and improve security outcomes, including:

Acronis continues to simplify and strengthen MSP security offerings with Collaboration Security and Security Awareness Training, helping MSPs reduce risk from human error and secure remote work environments. To make deployment and management even easier, Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud offers consolidated licensing bundles for Protected Workspace, Microsoft 365 Protection, and Cyber Resilience, enabling MSPs to tailor protection packages to practical use cases and customer needs. These enhancements allow MSPs to deliver comprehensive, cost-efficient security services without added complexity, improving operational efficiency, and customer satisfaction.

Proven Security Through Independent Validation
Acronis’ security effectiveness continues to be validated through independent testing and certifications, including:

Expanding Integrations and the MSSP Ecosystem
Acronis is also extending its reach through ecosystem expansion, including new:

  • Fortinet FortiGate integrations: Acronis and Fortinet partnered to deliver complete, natively integrated protection, accessible for organizations of any size and specifically built for MSPs.
  • Acronis MSSP Program: Enables managed security service providers to deliver MDR services on top of the Acronis platform as certified regional security partners.

“Security momentum isn’t just about shipping new product features. It is truly about delivering protection that works at scale,” said Gerald Beuchelt, CISO at Acronis. “True security momentum starts with understanding threats as they emerge and rapidly translating that insight into real-world protection. By combining deep threat research, fast-moving product innovation, and strong ecosystem partnerships, we’re helping MSPs and organizations stay ahead of adversaries rather than reacting to them.”

Looking ahead, Acronis will continue to advance its security platform by expanding the use of GenAI and automation to make protection more autonomous and easier to operate at scale. The company will also broaden the scope of protection to address emerging attack vectors, including GenAI-driven threats, while strengthening its portfolio through new solution releases informed by Acronis TRU research and partner insights. With this continued focus in threat research, platform innovation, and partner enablement, Acronis is setting the pace for modern cyber protection.
