Acronis EDR and RMM have AI already on-board, greatly accelerating detection, response, management, scripting and more. These solutions are designed to help MSPs keep these personal endpoints safe while increasing technician productivity. This means serving more clients and more devices without adding staff, a solution perfect for MSPs. ### What are workspaces and personal endpoints? In general, workspaces and personal endpoints are the same. These terms refer to the laptops, desktops and workstations that people use every day to do their jobs. In today’s hyper-mobile world, protecting workspaces is essential. ### What is endpoint protection and why is it important? Endpoint protection refers to security and data protection for work devices attached to a network. This includes workspace devices like laptops, desktops and workstations, but also servers and VMs. It does not refer to network devices like routers, switches and physical firewalls. Protecting endpoints is mission critical because that is where the applications run and where the data is stored, making them a prime target for cyberattacks. ### Is an Acronis Protected Workspace HIPAA compliant? HIPAA compliance is important for MSPs and businesses managing technology that handles or stores medical information. Acronis has specially identified U.S.-based data centers for HIPAA-compliant security and backup, making Acronis a key part of your HIPAA-compliant managed services. Acronis has 54 global datacenters. Data centers outside the U.S. are not subject to HIPAA compliance. ### How does the solution protect laptops and mobile endpoints? Acronis Protected Workspace Solutions is managed by MSPs in the cloud, but each device has a high-efficiency agent installed on it. This means that Acronis is protecting that device no matter where it is … even when workers are on the go. ### Is Acronis Protected Workspace solution suitable for remote or hybrid workforces? Acronis solutions for protecting personal workspaces like laptops and desktops are ideal for remote and hybrid workforces as well as teams that travel. Acronis behavioral detection, anti-malware and antivirus are always on. If the workspace has backup services turned on, the data will be backed up on schedule when the device is reconnected to the network.

They want their laptops, desktops and workstations protected everywhere they are to keep data safe and teams productive. The market is filled with point solutions and problematic integrations, increasing complexity and driving down productivity. Complexity itself is a risk. MSPs want to reduce risks, not add to them. They want a simple, reliable solution with predictable costs that leverage AI to scale productivity and growth. “A disjointed workspace security infrastructure in many organizations has resulted in increased operational costs and complexity and lower security effectiveness.” **Gartner®, 2025 Strategic Roadmap for Workspace Security** ## Bringing it all together to protect the workspace endpoint With the Acronis Protected Workspace solution, MSPs are always in complete control. There is one agent, one license and one console to manage it all. From anti-malware and EDR to RMM, backup, DLP and security awareness training, services are managed with a single click. Native integration and AI accelerate service performance: fewer technicians managing more devices and resolving more issues faster. Speed equals better security, happier clients and more profitable MSPs. ![Image 2: Bringing it all together to protect the workspace endpoint](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/content/54483ab1fb4606d5b85c1da7acb4753a.png) ## Award-winning data protection solutions [![Image 3](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/content/ea6a509aa804e73b5ac7556221b50f3d.png) SE Labs AAA rating for EDR Detection](https://www.acronis.com/en-us/blog/posts/acronis-xdr-earns-aaa-award-in-se-labs-advanced-security-test-for-edr-detection/) [![Image 4](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/content/012047b54ec17d152de5455170d8d02b.png) AV-TEST Advanced Threat Protection certification](https://www.acronis.com/en-us/blog/posts/acronis-cyber-protect-cloud-shines-in-av-tests-advanced-threat-protection-evaluation/) [![Image 5](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/content/cd22d828e7fd03522b41216d9037a289.png) SoftwareReviews XDR Champion](https://www.acronis.com/en-us/blog/posts/info-tech-names-acronis-cyber-protect-cloud-as-an-xdr-champion/) [![Image 6](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/content/0d598f9e29e6b6a7e48dd34dac2a04b3.png) CRN Security 100 List](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/acronis-earns-a-spot-on-the-crn-security-100-list-for-the-fourth-consecutive-year/) [![Image 7](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/content/3ead81d51504df24bae6c7d4ce3a7cb9.png) G2 Grid Leader for Endpoint Protection Suites](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/customers-named-acronis-a-leader-across-seven-g2-fall-2026-grid-reports/) ## What our partners say ### Seamless and streamlined “Acronis as our core platform covers everything.
