Acronis recognized in Info-Tech report: Why unified, AI-powered platforms are the future

The cybersecurity landscape is changing quickly, and independent research confirms what many organizations are already experiencing: Fragmented tools are no longer enough. 

A new Info‑Tech report, “Prioritize unified, AI-powered platforms for cybersecurity, data protection, endpoint management and compliance,” explores why leading organizations are rapidly shifting to unified platforms. 

Inside the report, Acronis is recognized for helping organizations reduce risk, eliminate complexity and improve resilience. 

The report outlines a fundamental shift in how organizations approach cybersecurity: 

• Traditional, siloed tools are no longer effective against modern threats. 

• AI‑driven attacks and hybrid environments are becoming more complex. 

• Organizations are moving toward integrated platforms that combine prevention, detection and recovery. 

These trends reflect a broader reality: Security, data protection and management can no longer operate separately. Instead, leading organizations are adopting unified platforms that bring these capabilities together in a single operational model. 

For years, organizations responded to new threats by adding more tools. 

The report shows that this approach has created new challenges, including integration gaps across disconnected systems, alert fatigue and increased complexity. This fragmentation introduces risk and makes it harder to identify and stop critical threats. 

Acronis recognized as a champion platform 

According to the report, Acronis is recognized as a Champion across multiple categories based on independent user feedback. 

Key highlights include: 

• Single‑agent, single‑console, single‑platform approach 

• High user satisfaction measured through Net Emotional Footprint scores 

• Recognition across capabilities such as backup, EDR, RMM and data protection 

This confirms that organizations are not only adopting unified platforms, but also realizing measurable value from them. 

The report highlights the attributes that matter most to users, and where Acronis stands out: 

• All‑in‑one platform combining cybersecurity, data protection and management 

• Fast, reliable recovery to minimize downtime after incidents 

• Built‑in AI‑powered protection across endpoints, email and workloads 

• Centralized management that reduces manual effort and complexity 

• Broad workload coverage across cloud, on‑premises and Microsoft 365 

These capabilities directly address the challenges of modern IT environments, especially for MSPs and distributed organizations. 

Another key takeaway from the report is the growing role of AI. 

Organizations are no longer layering AI onto existing systems. Instead, they are choosing platforms where AI is built in from the start. 

In the Acronis Cyber Platform, AI helps: 

• Detect and stop ransomware in real time. 

• Identify anomalies across endpoints. 

• Correlate signals into a single incident view. 

• Automate disaster recovery and compliance reporting. 

This approach reduces noise, speeds response and improves resilience without adding complexity. 

The report also highlights the increasing importance of compliance and operational efficiency. 

Instead of relying on additional tools, organizations are prioritizing platforms that: 

• Provide audit‑ready reporting and recovery validation. 

• Support frameworks such as GDPR, HIPAA and NIS2. 

• Maintain immutable audit logs and data integrity. 

• Enable data sovereignty through regional controls. 

At the same time, consolidation reduces: 

• Training and onboarding time. 

• Tool management overhead. 

• Total cost of ownership. 

For MSPs and IT teams, this means moving toward platform‑based architectures that integrate security, backup and management into a single solution.
