Today was a pivotal day in the history of the service provider channel.

Secure clients and yourself with Acronis MSP Protection

Businesses rely on data and IT more than ever before, especially after the widespread adoption of remote-first work models during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. This reliance on data has dramatically increased the need for effective and comprehensive cyber protection — and nowhere is this threat more strongly felt than among managed service providers (MSPs) who keep their clients’ organizations running.

That’s why, earlier this week, we introduced Acronis MSP Protection, our newest service designed to help MSPs meet and exceed the challenges of the modern digital landscape.

Acronis protects customer’s server in REvil attack on Kaseya

Acronis protects customer’s server in REvil attack on Kaseya

The recent supply-chain attack on Kaseya by the REvil ransomware group impacted dozens of managed service providers (MSPs) who rely on Kaseya VSA, as well as thousands of small businesses that are managed by those MSPs. While the initial ransom demand was dropped from $70 million to $50 million, the pain and frustration of those targeted rose steadily during the incident.

It’s worth noting that as news of the attack spread and frustration among MSPs grew, what didn’t grab headlines was the fact Acronis’ cyber protection technology was able to stop the ransomware attack in its tracks.
