Acronis recognized as a Leader in System Security in the G2 Summer 2026 Grid Report

Acronis Cyber Platform (formerly Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud) has been named a Leader in the G2 Summer 2026 Grid® Report for System Security, ranking #3 in the category. The recognition highlights Acronis’ role in helping MSPs and IT teams strengthen system protection through an integrated platform that brings together cybersecurity, backup, recovery, monitoring and management.

System security has become a broader challenge than simply blocking malware or installing antivirus software. Organizations need to protect endpoints, close vulnerabilities, prevent ransomware, secure backup data and maintain the ability to recover quickly after an incident. Acronis Cyber Platform (formerly Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud) is designed for this reality, helping teams reduce risk and improve resilience without managing security and backup as separate operational silos.

Customers value Acronis because it combines system security and backup in a single cyber protection platform. Instead of relying on separate products for endpoint protection, malware defense, backup, patching and recovery, MSPs and IT teams can manage these capabilities through one operating model. This helps reduce complexity while giving teams a more complete way to protect systems before, during and after an attack.

Acronis helps defend systems against ransomware and malware with security technologies designed to detect suspicious behavior, stop unauthorized encryption attempts and block known and emerging threats. At the same time, backup and recovery capabilities remain close at hand, giving organizations a path to restore affected files, recover clean system images and resume operations more quickly if an incident causes damage.

For MSPs, this integrated approach is especially valuable because system security must be scalable across many customer environments. Acronis helps service providers monitor risk, manage protection policies, support recovery and maintain accountability from a centralized platform, reducing the need for disconnected tools and manual coordination.

“I appreciate how it solves data loss and system downtime problems by allowing regular backups and fast restoration in case of crashes, ransomware attacks or accidental deletions.” said Inside sales associate in small business segment.

“Honestly, the fact that I don’t have to juggle five different tools anymore. Having backup, cybersecurity, and patch management all handled by one single, lightweight agent is a lifesaver for system performance and my sanity.” said Verified user in small business segment.

“It helps in monitoring all the systems from a single dashboard. It provides fast recovery if files and systems crash and also helps to restore data and system quickly from backup, which reduces the downtime.” said Technical Support executive in small business segment.

Acronis is recognized among the best system security solutions because it addresses a core problem for modern IT teams: system protection cannot stop at prevention. Even with strong defenses, organizations still need to prepare for ransomware, compromised devices, failed updates, human error and other incidents that can interrupt operations.

Acronis helps teams respond to that challenge by connecting security controls with backup readiness and recovery. This gives MSPs and IT teams a practical way to protect systems, reduce exposure, preserve clean recovery points and restore operations when needed. Instead of managing system security in one tool and recovery in another, teams can work from a more unified cyber protection platform.

For service providers, that means fewer consoles to manage, fewer disconnected workflows and a simpler way to package system security as part of a broader managed protection service. For internal IT teams, it means stronger visibility and a clearer path from risk detection to remediation and recovery.

G2 Grid® Reports are based on verified customer reviews and market presence data, helping buyers compare software vendors through real user feedback. In the Summer 2026 Grid® Report for System Security, Acronis Cyber Platform (formerly Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud) was named a Leader and ranked #3 in the category. This recognition highlights Acronis’ growing position in system security and reinforces the value customers see in combining endpoint protection, ransomware defense, vulnerability assessment, patch management, secure backup and recovery in one integrated platform.

Acronis continues to expand cyber protection beyond traditional backup and endpoint security. In April 2026, Acronis launched their GenAI Protection solution designed to help MSPs monitor and secure generative AI usage across client environments.

The new capabilities include visibility into shadow AI usage, protection against sensitive data exposure in 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, helping organizations protect systems, users and data as new risks emerge.
