Acronis partners with Legato Security to deliver 24/7 global MDR for MSPs

In today’s evolving threat landscape, managed service providers (MSPs) face mounting pressure to go beyond endpoint protection — they must deliver advanced, always-on security that ensures business continuity.

To help MSPs meet this challenge, Acronis is partnering with Legato Security to expand the global availability of Acronis Managed Detection and Response (MDR) — offering 24/7 SOC coverage seamlessly integrated into the Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud platform.

Modern threats are outpacing traditional detection tools. While EDR and XDR provide visibility and investigative insight, they still rely heavily on human expertise to analyze alerts, respond to threats, and perform root-cause investigations. For most MSPs, building and maintaining a 24/7 security operations center (SOC) is neither cost effective nor scalable.

That’s why more MSPs are evolving their cybersecurity offerings beyond EDR and XDR — by adding managed detection and response (MDR) services. MDR enables partners to deliver enterprise-grade protection, proactive monitoring and rapid response without the need for a dedicated internal security team.

With Acronis MDR, MSPs gain access to world-class SOC expertise, advanced detection capabilities, and built-in recovery — all through a single platform.

Operating an in-house SOC can easily exceed what most service providers can sustain. It demands specialized talent, 24/7 staffing, and constant tuning of tools and processes. Outsourcing SOC operations through MDR helps MSPs:

• Reduce operational costs — MDR is over 10× more cost efficient than building an in-house SOC.
• Simplify delivery — Gain full SOC functionality without the complexity of integration or management.
• Provide 24/7 monitoring and response — Ensure incidents are contained in minutes, not hours.
• Scale services across clients — Deliver enterprise-grade protection to SMB and midmarket clients with minimal resources.
• Focus on growth — Offload day-to-day monitoring while maintaining visibility and customer control.

With MDR, partners can finally deliver complete security coverage without overextending their teams.

Acronis MDR is a 24/7/365 managed detection, response and recovery service built for MSPs of any size and maturity. Delivered through a trusted network of certified MSSP partners, the service integrates with the Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud platform — combining endpoint protection, advanced threat detection, and recovery in one unified solution.

Key benefits include:

• Continuous monitoring and rapid response from certified SOC experts.
• Integrated remediation and recovery capabilities unique to Acronis.
• Up to 60% improvement in total cost of ownership (TCO) through platform consolidation.
• Flexible service tiers (Standard and Advanced) to fit client needs and partner business models.

Unlike traditional MSSPs that only alert you when issues arise, Acronis MDR analysts actively investigate, isolate and remediate incidents, ensuring both protection and continuity.

Acronis MDR by Legato Security is available for partners globally — giving MSPs access to proven MDR expertise and 24/7/365 SOC coverage.
