Acronis

Acronis recognized a massive shift in the SMB and mid-market sector: small businesses don't want to buy an antivirus program from Symantec, a backup program from Veeam, and a patch management tool from SolarWinds. Acronis Cyber Protect unified all three of these entirely separate disciplines into a single, massive agent installed on the endpoint. When a ransomware virus attacks a laptop, Acronis acts in a highly coordinated manner. The Acronis Antivirus engine detects the malicious encryption behavior and instantly terminates the virus process. Because Acronis is also the backup software, it instantly and automatically reaches into its secure local cache and restores the 10 files that the virus managed to encrypt before it was killed, saving the user instantly without an IT ticket. This all-in-one approach has made it wildly popular with Managed Service Providers (MSPs). An outsourced IT firm can install the Acronis agent on 5,000 laptops across 50 different small business clients, managing the backups, the malware defense, and the Windows updates all from a single, multi-tenant web dashboard.
