The unique approach of the cyber protection pioneer places it
among other leaders evaluated by market performance, vision,
leadership and change capabilities
SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland, August 2, 2021 - Acronis, the global leader in
cyber
protection, has been recognized in the 2021 Canalys Global
Cybersecurity Leadership Matrix. The company was praised for its
advances in protection beyond backup and recovery.
Canalys is a leading global technology market analyst firm with
a distinct channel focus that strives to guide clients on the
future of the technology industry. Its Cybersecurity Leadership
Matrix, the firm explains, "assesses vendor performance in the
channel, based on worldwide channel feedback into the Vendor
Benchmark over the last 12 months (July 2020 to June 2021), vendor
feedback on channel program initiatives, and an independent
analysis of each vendor."
In the 2021 report, Acronis is praised for its endpoint security
integrated with backup and recovery. The position in the matrix was
solidified with the recent launches of Acronis
Detection and Response, Acronis
Cyber Protect Cloud with
Advanced Email Security, and the company's new #CyberFit Partner
Program, as well as several recent acquisitions and the
establishment of a new cyber protection R&D
center and partner enablement office in Israel.
"We are pleased to be recognized by Canalys among the leaders in
cybersecurity," said Gaidar Magdanurov, Chief Success Officer at
Acronis. "Over last three years, Acronis has evolved to become a
leader in cyber protection - first to combine cybersecurity, data
protection and management into one solution. But it's the growing
recognition by top analyst firms, like Canalys, which proves that
cyber protection is the only way to defend your IT infrastructure
against modern threats."
The report comes on the heels of Acronis securing a $250
million funding round led by CVC Capital Partners VII in May
2021, bringing the company's valuation to more than $2.5 billion.
The company has been leveraging the investment to further enhance
its go-to-market initiatives by expanding the broad partner network
and providing even greater support to managed service providers
(MSPs), cloud distributors, cloud aggregators, and other
partners.
"Acronis secured its position in the report as a Grower due to
its continued investment and commitment to the channel," said
Matthew Ball, Canalys Chief Analyst. "Through its numerous 2021
enhancements and implementations, as well as its unified approach
to both its service providers and resellers, Acronis is poised to
maintain growth and remain a key vendor for cybersecurity
partners."
