The problem with protecting clients one tool at a time

Ask most MSPs how they protect a client and you will hear a familiar list. Backup sits in one product. Antimalware and EDR sit in another. Patching and remote management sit somewhere else again. Each tool does its job, but the joins between them are where the trouble starts.

Ransomware doesn’t attack your tools one at a time. It looks for the moment data moves from one system to another, the endpoint that missed a patch, or the backup that wasn’t scanned before it was restored. The more tools you stitch together, the more of those moments you create.

One console, one agent, one bill

Acronis Cyber Protect takes a different approach. Instead of bolting security onto backup, it brings backup, antimalware, EDR, patching and management into a single agent and a single console. For your team that means less to learn and fewer systems to babysit. For your clients it means one clear line of protection instead of a patchwork.

A few things make a real difference day to day:

• EDR with Linux support. Behavioural antimalware and strong ransomware protection across your client base.
• Immutable, malware scanned backups. Backups that can’t be quietly encrypted or deleted, and that are checked for malware before you restore them.
• Unlimited Microsoft 365 and Workspace backup. Searchable storage so you can recover individual items fast.
• Fail safe patch management. An automatic backup before every patch, so you can roll back cleanly if something breaks.
• One Click Recovery. End users can rebuild a failed endpoint themselves, which means fewer callouts for your team.

Where it sits next to Microsoft 365 and Defender

Plenty of your clients already run Microsoft 365, and some have Defender. That doesn’t remove the need for backup or a broader security layer. Microsoft protects its infrastructure, but the data, the retention and the recovery are your responsibility. Cyber Protect fills that gap and adds EDR, DLP and management on top, so you can offer genuine layered defence rather than hoping one vendor covers everything.

See it live on 20 August

We are running a practical session on Thursday 20 August, 1:30pm to 2:30pm AEST. We will show you what to demo, what to sell, and how to position Cyber Protect so your clients get better protection with less complexity. Bring your questions.
