Acronis XDR not only achieved 100% Detection Accuracy but also improved its Legitimate Accuracy rating from 95% in 2024 to 96% in 2025. These scores combined to yield a 98% Total Accuracy rating, securing Acronis the AAA award — SE Labs’ highest certification for top-grade threat detection for businesses of various sizes. ### SE Labs testing methodology: Real attacks, real targets SE Labs’ methodology goes beyond simple malware detection, replicating complete attacker behaviors across the MITRE ATT&CK framework. They constructed realistic enterprise network topologies, including workstations, domain controllers, cloud services and IoT devices, and launched multistage attack chains starting from initial compromise (e.g., phishing, drive-by downloads) through lateral movement, privilege escalation, data exfiltration and impact actions. Critically, the test evaluated how Acronis handled attacks inspired by: * Gamaredon (spear phishing against public services). * Ember Bear (supply chain compromise of infrastructure targets). * Evasive Panda (sophisticated surveillance on governments). * DPRK (financially motivated ransomware-as-a-service operations). Each attack simulated authentic sequences of 5 to 7 steps, including stealth techniques such as credential theft, use of native tools (e.g., PowerShell, WMI) and advanced evasion (e.g., DLL injection, command obfuscation). Acronis XDR had to demonstrate visibility across four key detection groups per attack: 1. Delivery / execution 2. Action 3. Privilege escalation and action 4. Lateral movement and action ### Results: Full-chain visibility and precision detection Acronis XDR detected all 17 attacks in depth, securing a perfect 680 / 680 score for Detection Accuracy. Despite missing the initial delivery phase in one DPRK case, Acronis quickly identified malicious behavior in subsequent phases, including data staging or lateral command execution, earning full credit. This level of precision was due not only to threat recognition but also to minimal false positives. SE Labs penalizes products for overreacting to legitimate software, especially popular applications like Microsoft Word or Google Chrome. Acronis XDR improved here as well, classifying 709 out of 742 legitimate items correctly and interacting with benign software in a nonintrusive way. This earned Acronis XDR an impressive 98% total accuracy score and the AAA award for advanced security. ### Enterprise-grade readiness SE Labs 2025 EDR Detection test confirms that Acronis XDR provides world-class detection and decision-making accuracy against modern, complex threats. The 100% detection rate combined with a 98% Total Accuracy Rating reflects a service that not only stops attackers in real time, but also avoids alert fatigue by respecting legitimate enterprise workflows. For CISOs evaluating EDR and XDR platforms, Acronis XDR emerges as a proven, mature and low-friction choice, validated through independent, adversary-intelligence-based testing.
