By matching each workload with the specific user that used to log in and displaying the time of the logon event, partner technicians gain valuable insights. They also have an audit trail of which users accessed devices at any time. It’s a simple way for partners to unlock major efficiencies, reduce risks and ensure strong oversight of their digital environment. Our technology provides unprecedented clarity into technology access and usage across all workloads the partner manages.

Acronis continues to test new versions of integrated third-party products to provide partners with the most efficient modern cyber protection. Now partners who use VMware vSphere 8.0 and Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud can be sure products work together in the best way, including basic and advanced VM backup/recovery scenarios such as Application-aware VM backup, VM replication with failover/failback, backup/recovery of VMs located on vSAN 8 storage, recovery of VM with the newest virtual hardware version, and preserving the newest guest OS versions (vSphere property of the VM) during VM recovery.

Even the most experienced users and IT admins make mistakes. Nobody is perfect. Acronis helps partners to be better protected even from mistakes and security accidents. Now partners and end-customer IT administrators can recover tenants and user accounts back to a fully-functional state after accidental deletion or account wipe caused by malicious actions within 30 days after the accident. This adds better customer data protection and peace of mind for IT personnel.

Acronis continues to help MSPs improve their document workflows’ compliance and auditability. Advanced Files Sync and Share’s embedded eSigning has eIDAS certification (electronic IDentification, Authentication and trust Services) to comply with EU regulations on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the European market. Acronis partners can generate a trust certificate to guarantee the signature’s integrity and embed it in the signed document — with an easy drag-and-drop eSign feature. This simplifies and streamlines a partner’s document workflows.

Partners can increase their productivity and create amazing experiences by automating their workflows more flexibly in the ServiceNow platform thanks to the new version of the integration of Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud with ServiceNow. To support partners with complex, distributed environments, Acronis adds the ability to map multiple partner tenants in a single ServiceNow instance to simplify workflow automation and improve automatic provisioning settings for better flexibility. Now, all incidents enriched with detailed alert data are handled directly in the ServiceNow console without switching between different products, saving the technician time. ServiceNow delivers proactive digital operations with AIOps, so partners get and use insights and automation to predict issues, reduce user impact and streamline resolutions.

Acronis helps partners minimize downtime and data loss after recovery by automatically backing up Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace data more frequently. Now, administrators can configure backup frequency for any supported Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace workload. Partners can schedule backup up to 6 times per day, so they always keep what has already been done in case of an accident or cyberattack and can return to their usual working rhythm faster.

We work hard with our technology partners to help you to automate day-to-day routines and eliminate manual work and switching between different products. In this release we added new integrations with LastPass, Storadera, LogSign, Impossible Cloud, Storj.io, Zadara and Rewst.

Acronis enables MSPs to utilize machine learning and automation to proactively detect and prioritize alerts effectively with auto-response actions.
Evaluate the condition of any workload and then perform an action when a specified threshold is reached. Decrease wasted time and provide reliable support with predictive, precise and automatic anomaly detection with auto-response actions. Customize alerts’ severity, frequency and message. Receive alerts in the Cyber Protection console only when the monitored parameters are out of normal performance.

Partners can save time by grouping all devices with open alerts in a single group. Also, the new version ensures partners will always have the latest version installed through in-product notifications.

Protecting endpoints shouldn’t be complicated and expensive. But today’s endpoint detection and response tools force MSPs to resort to costly advanced security expertise to use them — and require multiple point products for a complete protection, including business continuity.
With Acronis, there is a better way. Designed for MSPs, Acronis Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) delivers:
1. The ability to quickly and easily analyze and prioritize security incidents.
2. Integrated security and recovery capabilities, for comprehensive protection critical to maintaining business continuity.
3. A complete cyber protection solution in a single agent — simple for MSPs to deploy, manage, and scale.

Streamline ticket management and operations by enabling ConnectWise NOC engineers to access the Acronis Management Console for partners they manage. This allows NOC operators to resolve any issues and manage workloads on behalf of MSPs.

Manage bootable media remotely via a web interface in Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud when there is no screen to access the workload. Streamline your operations and execute remote actions such as recovery, reboot, shutdown, downloading system info, and monitoring the status of the boot media.

Reduce overload and manual work for technicians via the automatic authentication of web connections by using saved credentials, enabling instant connections to remote workloads for troubleshooting without any additional steps. This update eliminates the risk of compatibility issues between agent plans and selected workloads.

Simplify the sharing of cloud files with multiple team members via Acronis Files Cloud. Facilitate easier team collaboration by creating Share Groups, add team members to them, and streamline sharing of files using an email link. A Share Group can be added to automatically share files with all group members.

With the March release, you will be able to quickly and easily check all new capabilities included in the latest software release — via a link available in the Cyber Protection console enabling access to the "What's new" dialog.
