Endpoint detection and response (EDR) continuously collects security-relevant endpoint telemetry, detects suspicious behavior, supports investigation and provides actions to contain and remediate threats. For a fuller explanation, see the Acronis guide to endpoint detection and response. ### I have antivirus. Why do I need EDR? Antivirus and endpoint protection platforms focus on preventing and blocking threats. EDR adds continuous visibility, behavioral detection, investigation and response for activity that bypasses preventive controls. It helps teams understand the attack chain, contain it and remediate the affected endpoint. ### Can I run EDR without a security team? Yes. Acronis EDR helps lean IT teams and MSP technicians work without a large in-house SOC. Prioritized incidents, visual attack stories, AI-generated interpretations and guided response actions reduce investigation effort. Organizations that need continuous expert monitoring can add Acronis MDR or work with a service provider. ### Does Acronis EDR work with Microsoft Defender? Yes. Acronis EDR can augment Microsoft Defender with centralized incident visibility, investigation and response workflows, depending on the product, plan, operating system and configuration. Validate the current supported integration and deployment model before rollout. ### Which operating systems are supported? Acronis EDR supports Windows, macOS, Linux and ARM-based systems, with capabilities varying by product, edition, operating system and configuration. Check the current Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud or Acronis Cyber Protect feature matrix for exact coverage. ### Does Acronis EDR integrate with my SIEM or PSA, and is there an API? Acronis provides integration options for security and service-management workflows, including APIs and connectors available for supported products and plans. SIEM, PSA and API coverage varies by deployment and edition, so confirm the required integration in the current product documentation. ### How is Acronis EDR priced, and can I try it? MSPs obtain Acronis EDR through Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud; businesses can use Acronis Cyber Protect directly or through a service provider. Licensing, pricing and trial availability vary by region and offer. Use the How to buy options above to confirm the current commercial path. ### EDR, XDR or MDR: which do I need? Choose EDR for endpoint-focused detection and response. Choose XDR when you need correlated signals and response across endpoints, email, identity, Microsoft 365 applications or other domains. Choose MDR when you want security specialists to monitor, investigate and respond on your behalf. ### How does recovery improve the EDR workflow? Containment stops malicious activity, but operations may still be disrupted. Acronis connects EDR response with configured attack-specific rollback, backup recovery and disaster recovery capabilities, helping teams move from investigation and containment toward clean restored systems and resumed operations. ### Can Acronis EDR support compliance and cyber insurance requirements? Acronis can provide security controls, incident evidence, reporting context and recovery capabilities that may support governance, compliance and cyber-insurance requirements. Requirements vary by organization, jurisdiction, framework and insurer, so buyers should validate their obligations with the appropriate advisors and providers. ### When should I add MDR or a SOC? Add MDR when your team needs 24/7 expert monitoring, investigation and response but lacks the staffing or specialist skills to provide it internally. [Acronis MDR](https://www.acronis.com/en/products/cloud/cyber-protect/managed-detection-and-response/) and qualified service providers can extend Acronis EDR with an operated security service.

Recover operations. Stay resilient. Attackers exploit software weaknesses and human behavior to gain a foothold. Once inside, they can move from one endpoint across the organization to disrupt operations or steal valuable data. Teams need a repeatable way to understand the attack, contain it, remediate the cause and restore affected systems and operations. * 63% of breach costs Come from detection, escalation & loss of business IBM, Cost of a Data Breach Report 2026 * 247 days Is the average time to identify and contain a breach IBM, Cost of a Data Breach Report 2026 * 26% faster Breach resolution for organizations that use AI & automation IBM, Cost of a Data Breach Report 2026 ## Stronger EDR starts with integrated cyber protection Acronis EDR places detection and response in a broader operating model that connects endpoint protection, risk governance, asset visibility, endpoint management and recovery. ### Endpoint resilience across NIST CSF 2.0 Map endpoint resilience to the six NIST CSF 2.0 functions. EDR directly supports Detect and Respond through continuous endpoint telemetry, behavioral detection, investigation and containment. Connected Acronis capabilities extend the operating model across Govern, Identify, Protect and Recover to help reduce risk, strengthen safeguards and restore affected systems.

Quickly understand what happened, how the attack progressed and which response actions to consider—without reviewing every event. ### Attack-specific rollback Reverse changes made by a specific attack without restoring the entire system. Where supported and configured, return affected files to a clean state while preserving legitimate work and unaffected data. ### Single-click response to attacks Move from investigation to action in one workflow. Use a single-click response to contain threats, isolate affected workloads, stop or quarantine malicious processes and initiate available remediation or recovery actions. ### Response automation Build no-code, drag-and-drop playbooks that combine triggers, conditions and actions. Automate steps such as isolating workloads, quarantining threats and notifying teams to reduce manual effort and response time. ### Threat hunting and intelligent IoC search Hunt across endpoint telemetry and IoCs to investigate suspicious activity, test hypotheses and uncover related behavior. Apply real-time threat intelligence to validate exposure to known and emerging threats and focus response. ### Supported systems and operating models Protect supported Windows, macOS, Linux and ARM-based systems. MSPs manage customer tenants in Acronis Cyber Platform (formerly Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud); businesses use Acronis Cyber Protect directly or through a service provider. ### Easier investigations for lean teams Prioritized incidents, AI-guided summaries, visual attack context and recommended actions reduce the manual work required to understand an alert. ### Connected platform capabilities EDR works alongside endpoint management, data protection, and other security capabilities so teams can reduce gaps between prevention, protection, response, and restoration. ### Support compliance and audit readiness Centralized incident records, role-based access, dashboards, MITRE ATT&CK® context and forensic evidence can support reporting, investigations, audits and cyber-insurance workflows. ## See how organizations strengthen security and operational resilience with Acronis [Explore case studies](https://www.acronis.com/en/resource-center/category/case-studies/) [![Image 7: Panda Technology delivers scalable cyber protection to health care organizations facing HIPAA](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/content/8a749db46472387643580a80136f127d.png)](https://www.acronis.com/en/resource-center/resource/panda-technology-delivers-scalable-cyber-protection-to-health-care-organizations/) Case study ### [Panda Technology delivers scalable cyber protection to health care organizations facing HIPAA](https://www.acronis.com/en/resource-center/resource/panda-technology-delivers-scalable-cyber-protection-to-health-care-organizations/) “Acronis has allowed us to scale our business and deploy rapidly, so we can quickly onboard new customers without needing to add much new overhead.” Joshua Aaronson COO and Co-founder, Panda Technology [Read the story](https://www.acronis.com/en/resource-center/resource/panda-technology-delivers-scalable-cyber-protection-to-health-care-organizations/) [![Image 8: ClearYolk and Acronis unify backup, RMM and EDR for Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/content/3e0536ef5b653f44a30385ecd79ba813.png)](https://www.acronis.com/en/resource-center/resource/clearyolk-and-acronis-unify-backup-rmm-and-edr-for-stockport-metropolitan-borough-council/) Case study ### [ClearYolk and Acronis unify backup, RMM and EDR for Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council](https://www.acronis.com/en/resource-center/resource/clearyolk-and-acronis-unify-backup-rmm-and-edr-for-stockport-metropolitan-borough-council/) “Having everything in a single pane of glass means we know when something works and when it doesn’t.” Damian Hodkinson Stockport MBC [Read the story](https://www.acronis.com/en/resource-center/resource/clearyolk-and-acronis-unify-backup-rmm-and-edr-for-stockport-metropolitan-borough-council/) [![Image 9: ICTEN saves 50% on security management overhead by switching from Kaspersky to Acronis EDR](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/content/5b8e963403cf6af6d1aa9bb31968e53a.png)](https://www.acronis.com/en/resource-center/resource/icten-saves-50-on-security-management-overhead-by-switching-from-kaspersky-to-acronis-edr/) Case study ### [ICTEN saves 50% on security management overhead by switching from Kaspersky to Acronis EDR](https://www.acronis.com/en/resource-center/resource/icten-saves-50-on-security-management-overhead-by-switching-from-kaspersky-to-acronis-edr/) “We want to thank Acronis for partnering with us in the Philippines.” Jhon Te (J.T.)
