The recognition highlights Acronis’ position among leading EDR solutions and reinforces the value customers see in combining endpoint detection, response, ransomware protection, backup and recovery in one integrated cyber protection platform. ## Why EDR is stronger when detection, response and recovery work together? Acronis EDR helps MSPs and IT teams move beyond standalone endpoint alerting. Instead of forcing teams to manage endpoint detection in one tool and recovery in another, Acronis brings endpoint protection, backup, disaster recovery, vulnerability assessment, patch management and other cyber protection capabilities into a centralized, MSP-ready platform. This integrated model is especially valuable when an endpoint attack turns into business disruption. A ransomware incident, malware infection or compromised device can quickly affect files, systems and user productivity. Acronis helps teams detect suspicious behavior, investigate impacted endpoints, respond to threats and support recovery from the same operational environment. Customers value this integrated approach because endpoint attacks rarely stop at detection. A ransomware incident, malware infection or compromised device can quickly become an operational disruption. With Acronis Cyber Platform (formerly Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud), managed service providers can manage endpoint security alongside backup, disaster recovery, vulnerability assessment, patch management and other protection services through a centralized, MSP-ready platform. That reduces tool sprawl, shortens response workflows and helps technicians move faster from threat detection to business continuity. ## What customers are saying _“It's the best platform for a backup solution for your server. It's just not a backup solution but also provides cyber protection, anti-malware, and anti-virus, and ransomware protection along with EDR.“_ said a [Verified user in small business segment](https://www.g2.com/products/acronis-cyber-protect-cloud/reviews/acronis-cyber-protect-cloud-review-5431900). _“I like Acronis Cyber Platform (formerly Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud) for its easy management deployment and the fact that a single agent can enable multiple protections like backup, disaster recovery, EDR, XDR and RMM, which would otherwise require multiple software and licenses.“_ said a [System administrator in small business segment](https://www.g2.com/products/acronis-cyber-protect-cloud/reviews/acronis-cyber-protect-cloud-review-12857799). _“The best thing about Acronis Cyber Platform (formerly Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud) is its powerful agent, which can handle multiple tasks. It takes backups of endpoints to the cloud as well as to an on-premises NAS, and the same single agent works in both environments. It also functions as an antivirus, i.e., Acronis EDR.“_ said a [Product manager in midmarket segment](https://www.g2.com/products/acronis-cyber-protect-cloud/reviews/acronis-cyber-protect-cloud-review-12287880). ## Why service providers and IT teams choose Acronis for EDR Acronis is recognized among the best Endpoint Detection and Response solutions because it addresses a key challenge for modern IT and security teams: endpoint protection cannot stop at detection. A strong [EDR solution](https://www.acronis.com/en/products/cloud/cyber-protect/security-edr/) must help teams understand what happened, respond quickly and recover affected systems when an attack causes damage. For service providers, this approach supports more scalable security operations. Technicians can monitor endpoints, investigate threats, manage protection policies and support recovery through a centralized platform. That means fewer consoles to manage, fewer separate licenses to coordinate and a simpler way to deliver EDR as part of a broader managed cyber protection service. ## About the recognition The G2 Grid® Report evaluates products in the Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) category based on customer satisfaction and market presence. Acronis Cyber Platform (formerly Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud) was recognized as a Leader and ranked #3 in the G2 Summer 2026 Grid® Report for Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR). The recognition reflects feedback from verified users and the product’s position in the market. ## What’s Next for Acronis in cybersecurity innovation? Acronis continues to expand cyber protection beyond traditional backup and endpoint security. In April 2026, Acronis launched their [GenAI Protection solution](https://www.acronis.com/en/products/cloud/cyber-protect/genai-protection/) designed to help MSPs monitor and secure generative AI usage across client environments. The capabilities include visibility into shadow AI usage, sensitive data protection for AI interactions, and detection and blocking of prompt injection or AI abuse. For service providers and IT teams, this extends the same integrated approach behind Acronis Cyber Platform (formerly Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud) into the fast-growing area of AI governance and security.
