Acronis Cyber Platform (formerly Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud) was ranked #2 in the G2 Summer 2026 Grid® Report for Email Security and recognized as a Leader in the category. The ranking reinforces Acronis’ role as an integrated cyber protection platform for organizations and MSPs that need to defend inboxes, protect data and recover quickly from email-driven threats.
Email security is stronger when it is part of a broader cyber protection?
Email remains one of the most common entry points for cyberattacks, making it a critical layer of protection for MSPs and IT teams. Threats such as phishing, malware, account takeover and business email compromise can quickly lead to credential theft, data loss and operational disruption if they are not addressed as part of a wider security and recovery strategy. Acronis Cyber Platform (formerly Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud) helps MSP organizations reduce that risk by connecting email security with broader cyber protection capabilities, including backup, endpoint protection, monitoring and recovery. This integrated approach enables service providers and IT teams to protect users, devices and data from a single platform instead of managing email security as another isolated point solution.
The G2 Summer 2026 Grid® Report shows high customer satisfaction for ease of use, administration and doing business. The report also highlights strong feature ratings around email-security-related capabilities, supporting Acronis’ value for teams looking to reduce email risk without adding another isolated security product.

“A centralized product and console to manage all the various product offerings, from backup, recovery, email security, security with XDR to list out some of them. Ease of use, be it integration or implementation.” said a General Manager in Small Business segment.
Why should email security be managed as part of a broader cyber protection strategy?
Email security should be managed as part of a broader cyber protection strategy because email attacks rarely stay confined to the inbox. When email protection is separated from the rest of the security stack, teams may detect the initial threat but still lack the visibility and recovery workflows needed to understand what was affected and restore operations quickly. Acronis helps close that gap by connecting email security with endpoint protection, backup, monitoring and recovery. This gives MSPs and IT teams a more complete way to protect users, devices and business-critical data from one platform.
