Cybersecurity and data protection company Acronis International GmbH today announced the launch of Acronis MDR by Acronis TRU, a new globally available continuous managed detection and response service.

The new MDR service has been built for managed service providers of any size and provides threat detection, rapid incident response and cyber resilience powered by the Acronis Threat Research Unit. Using the new service, MSPs can expand their security offerings and deliver scalable protection without the complexity or cost of operating an in-house security operations center.

As cyberthreats grow in sophistication and frequency, MSPs are struggling to deliver advanced security services given the cost, expertise and infrastructure required. The new MDR service addresses the issue by offering continuous monitoring, rapid threat containment and expert incident response powered by the Acronis TRU to help MSPs strengthen client security while reducing operational overhead.

The new offering differs from traditional MDR services that rely on multiple tools for detection, remediation and recovery, combining endpoint detection and response with integrated proactive protection via patch management and built-in business continuity capabilities. As a result, MSPs and their customers gain access to faster incident response, streamlined management and improved cyber resilience.

“Acronis MDR by Acronis TRU was built to make advanced detection and response accessible globally to MSPs of any size,” said Acronis President Gaidar Magdanurov. “Unlike traditional MDR services, Acronis MDR combines proactive protection, integrated business continuity and Acronis’ expertise so MSPs have the ability to deliver secure, high-quality MDR to their clients while minimizing complexity and costs.”

Key features of Acronis MDR by Acronis TRU include 24/7 monitoring and rapid response, with continuous endpoint monitoring, threat triage and rapid isolation by Acronis’ TRI. Critical incidents are remediated in as little as 15 minutes.

Integrated proactive protection and business continuity offers built-in patch management and attack rollback capabilities enable seamless protection and recovery, while flexible pricing and simplified onboarding make MDR easy to adopt and scale.

The new service can also be delivered through trusted MSSP partners and the options help MSPs scale MDR delivery while ensuring integration, compliance and high-quality service.

Based in Switzerland, Acronis has raised $658 million over four rounds, including $147 million in 2019 and $250 million on a valuation north of $2.5 billion in 2021. Investors in the company include BlackRock Inc., CVC Capital Partners Ltd., Goldman Sachs Investment Partners and Insight Partners LP. In August 2024, it was announced that Swedish investment firm EQT was acquiring a majority stake in Acronis.
