Regional Expansion Propelled
by Increased Adoption of Acronis’ Cybersecurity Solutions
SYDNEY, Australia – October 25, 2024 – Acronis, a global leader in cybersecurity
and data protection,
is experiencing robust growth in the Australian market, with notable
year-over-year (YoY) improvements across key performance metrics. This progress
underscores Acronis’ commitment to enhancing its presence in Australia by
delivering tailored cybersecurity solutions for managed service providers
(MSPs) and businesses.
Over
the past year, Acronis saw a YoY rise in the adoption of advanced endpoint detection
and response (EDR)
workloads, indicating a growing focus on enhanced cybersecurity. This growth fueled
a 57% YoY revenue increase in Australia, with total workloads rising by 50% as
more businesses embraced Acronis’ solutions.
“2024 has been a transformative year for
Acronis in Australia,” said Kelly Johnson, General
Manager at Acronis ANZ. “Our expansion is driven by the rising demand for
comprehensive cybersecurity solutions, and we’re proud to help local businesses
and MSPs fortify their defenses. To add, the growth of our #TeamUp program and
the introduction of the MSP Academy have further solidified our commitment to
support the technology and business community in Australia.”
As businesses face growing pressure to comply
with the Australia Cyber Security Strategy, demand for advanced cybersecurity
solutions in the region that provide reliable and efficient solutions for
managed service providers (MSPs) has increased substantially. Australian
businesses choose Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud because of its native integration of
cybersecurity, data protection, and endpoint management services, which helps
to reduce downtime and reach the required Essential Eight maturity levels.
“Cybersecurity is a top business priority for Australian
organizations, with 57% of firms increasing their cybersecurity budgets in
2024,” said Michael Barnes, Director and Principal Analyst at Tech Research
Asia. “This presents a significant opportunity for trusted partners as
businesses transition to resilience-centered approaches while adopting emerging
technologies, including AI.”
Acronis remains dedicated to delivering
innovative cybersecurity solutions designed to empower MSPs and businesses
across Australia and the broader region. In June 2024, the company announced
the general availability Acronis Advanced Security + XDR as well as Acronis MDR services. In addition
to these product developments, Acronis has emphasized its efforts to enhance
cyber resilience by leveraging both regional and global threat intelligence through
the work of the Acronis Threat Research Unit.
“Acronis is experiencing a period of hypergrowth in the
region, driven by our AI-powered cybersecurity capabilities that complement
traditional backup solutions,” said Gaidar Magdanurov, President at Acronis.
“Australia is a key market for Acronis. With the Acronis Threat Research Unit, we
are deepening our commitment to regional threat intelligence, while enhancing
our ability to support customers and partners as they navigate the complexities
of today's digital landscape.”
