New integration with Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud enables
providers to deliver comprehensive backup, security, and disaster
recovery capabilities to Apple environments
SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland, October 20, 2021 - Acronis, the global leader in
cyber
protection, today unveiled the latest integration of its
award-winning service provider solution, Acronis
Cyber Protect Cloud, with Addigy, provider of the leading
cloud-based Apple device management platform. This new release
marks Acronis' latest effort in empowering managed service
providers (MSPs) to easily deploy and deliver the company's
single-agent cyber protection solution across macOS/iOS systems -
ensuring greater data security and ease of management for today's
evolving business environments.
Adoption of macOS in the workplace continues to rise, with
at least
55% of all small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs)
encouraging or allowing their use. This trend means that MSPs must
adopt solutions that enable them to identify, monitor, and secure
sensitive data on such devices. With the release of this
integration, MSPs can deploy and monitor Acronis Cyber Protect
Cloud's full range of backup and cybersecurity capabilities from
within the Addigy RMM interface.
"Today's SMBs are more likely than ever to rely on macOS systems
- a trend that has only accelerated with the recent shift to
remote-first work and an increase in bring-your-own-device
practices," said Jan-Jaap "JJ" Jager, Board Advisor and Chief
Revenue Officer at Acronis. "Cybercriminals are already reacting to
this shifting landscape and ramping up their attacks against Apple
devices. This new integration with Addigy supports MSPs with the
delivery of unparalleled cyber protection across clients' IT
environments, all through the platform they already know and
trust."
Combining Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud with Addigy's device
management platform, not only strengthens the protection of backups
and security of environments with macOS workloads, but also
simplifies Apple device management by allowing IT admins to apply
sophisticated protection plans, configure and enforce policies for
Apple devices, and monitor and remediate from a single
interface.
"Addigy's integration with one of the top data protection and
cybersecurity powerhouses in the market today is a critical step in
ensuring we give our customers all the tools they need to
effectively secure Apple devices," said Jason Dettbarn, founder and
CEO of Addigy. "We're thrilled about partnering with Acronis and
look forward to adding more integrations to our platform to meet
the ever-evolving needs of our customers."
Data availability and integrity are already vital to SMBs'
health, and the need for effective cyber protection across all
systems and backups is only growing. Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud
enables the consistent application of cyber protection services
across entire organizations, with cross-platform management through
a single pane of glass for streamlined efficiency.
In using Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud and Addigy together, MSPs
stand to benefit from capabilities such as:
- Simple configuration - Leverage standard macOS enrollment and configuration policies. A special script enables automatic download of the latest Acronis installer as appropriate for the macOS architecture and operating system in question.
- Remote installation of the protection agent - Once configuration is done, simply deploy Acronis' cyber protection agent from one centralized location. Protection supports both Intel and M1 devices.
- Application of protection plans on a client level - Unleash the power of cyber protection to strengthen your clients' security posture and resilience, as well as your own. Set a default protection plan for all macOS devices under your Addigy account, or define specific ones for individual clients.
- Protection status monitoring and alerting - Stay on top of applied protection plans within the Addigy interface. Choose and configure the Acronis Facts you wish to monitor, and receive synchronized alerts all from one centralized location.
