Acronis' expertise in data protection and the managed service
provider market yields an innovative, fast-track approach for the
prevention of catastrophic data leaks
SAN FRANCISCO, California, June 7, 2022 - Acronis, the
global leader in cyber protection, today debuted a new Advanced
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) pack for Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, a
game-changing solution that shields managed service providers
(MSPs) and businesses of all sizes from data leakage. Notably, the
solution does not require months for deployment, and highly skilled
teams to maintain it.
Drawing from decades-long experience enabling MSPs in data
protection, this expansion resolves the main obstacles hindering
the broader adoption of DLP solutions: grueling roll-out and
cumbersome ongoing administrative execution.
For years, organizations have struggled to protect sensitive
data from unauthorized access via external attacks or insider risks
such as IT misconfigurations and human error. Only a handful of
large enterprises had the resources to manage the overall
complexity, high deployment costs, and more significant obstacles
that come with DLP adoption. This is why the global DLP market size
is set to exceed US$6 billion by 2026,
according to Global Industry Analysts Inc.
According to the 2021 Gartner® Market Guide for Data Loss
Prevention, "Small and midsize organizations often struggle to
implement and operate DLP tools. Consulting and managed DLP
services can offer a path to value in terms of managing tools, but
they cannot replace internal data knowledge and ownership of risk
by business units." [1]
"Across the clients we work with daily, fear of their financial
records or customer data appearing on Google search keeps them up
at night. It keeps us up, too," said Lawrence Troemel, President of
NobleTec. "We want to help them close the gap, but it's really
tough to cost-effectively succeed within short time frames -
especially when a new customer comes to us after a major
breach."
Acronis Advanced DLP
The integration of behavioral-based DLP capabilities into the
Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud platform is what extends its ability to
deliver unified data protection, cybersecurity and management
across systems, data and workloads regardless of their location. It
offers an unparalleled range of cyber protection capabilities that
span the NIST cybersecurity framework from Identification to
Recovery to ensure business continuity in the face of
cybercriminals, insider risk threats or technology failure.
The Early Access version of Acronis Advanced DLP:
- Protects sensitive data transferred via a wide array of user and system connections including for example, instant messaging and peripheral devices.
- Uses the same, unified Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud console and agent for data visibility and classification.
- Offers out-of-box data classification templates for common regulatory frameworks including GDPR, HIPAA and PCI DSS.
- Provides continuous monitoring for DLP incidents with multiple policy enforcement options, enabling ongoing automated policy adjustment to business-specifics.
- Includes robust audit and logging capabilities, giving administrators the ability to respond effectively to DLP events and conduct post-breach forensic investigations.
With a single platform and agent enabling this highly accessible
form of DLP, both MSPs and businesses will benefit from faster,
easier deployment and time-to-value, while avoiding all the most
common threats to data. These same benefits can be accrued by
larger organizations needing immediate protection while evaluating
more complex and sophisticated DLP programs with multi-year
implementation cycles. "The application of policies and parameters
is fast, even the interface for the end user is friendly regarding
alerts and exceptions," said Rafael M Acuña Giraldo, Information
Security Specialist and IT Support Coordinator at Info
Comunicaciones S.A.S.
Acronis Early Access Program
This new Advanced DLP technology is now available in an Early

customers and partners using the platform can provision and trial

In addition, for organizations new to Acronis and its platform,
