Acronis Cyber Platform (formerly Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud) was ranked #2 in the G2 Summer 2026 Grid® Report for Cloud Email Security reinforcing its position among the top solutions for MSPs and businesses protecting modern mail environments. The recognition reflects the value customers see in Acronis’ ability to help defend Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and other email systems against spam, phishing, business email compromise, account takeover, malware, advanced persistent threats and zero-day attacks. For service providers and IT teams, cloud email security is most effective when it is easy to manage, reliable in daily operations and connected to broader cyber protection workflows. Customer feedback highlights Acronis Cyber Platform (formerly Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud) as a trusted platform for strengthening email protection while supporting long-term value, renewal confidence and operational efficiency.

Why should cloud email security be connected to broader cyber protection?

Cloud email security is most effective when it protects more than the inbox. Phishing, malware, credential theft and business email compromise often begin with email, but the impact can quickly spread to user accounts, endpoints, cloud applications and business-critical data. That is why MSPs and IT teams need email protection that works alongside backup, incident response and centralized security operations.

Acronis Cyber Platform (formerly Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud) helps service providers and businesses reduce email-borne risk as part of a broader cyber protection strategy. Instead of managing cloud email security as a separate point solution, teams can connect threat prevention with endpoint protection, backup, monitoring and recovery workflows from one platform. This gives technicians stronger visibility and a simpler way to respond when an email threat becomes a wider security or data-protection issue.

What customers are saying

“I've been a partner for over five years, and I can see they're evolving every day, month and year. They aim to provide a complete solution with a single dashboard featuring all the functionalities you can ask for, like disaster recovery, file sync, security, monitoring, remote management, software management and email security.” said Managing partner in small business segment.

“I appreciate the email security features, especially the ability to block and add specific addresses and IPs. The cyber protect cloud backup protection plans are also impressive, and I find their frequency of use to be excellent.“ said System engineer in small business segment.

“Additionally, their Perception Point email security is extremely powerful. Prices for these services are fairly set, and there are no "minimum" license purchases needed so it makes it very little risk to try a new service through their system.” said Chief operations officer in small business segment.
