Working remotely or working from home has become a constant reality for businesses amid the current COVID-19 pandemic. However, with work from home, service providers and businesses are facing greater cybersecurity risk than ever before. To that end, Acronis has introduced a new product, Acronis Cyber Protect, to help service providers and businesses fortify their defenses and empower their workforce to continue being productive remotely.

Acronis Cyber Protect is a solution made for managed service providers to ensure that they have all their bases covered when it comes to keeping data and work infrastructure intact and secure. The new offering from Acronis allows managed service providers to cover all their bases and provide a complete service when it comes to securing their clients and enabling them to allowing the mobile workforce effectively.

The new offering can be boiled down to three main components: Anti-malware, Backup and Recovery, and Security and Management. Using the anti-malware services offered by Acronis, service providers are able to dynamically detect and prevent malware infections of devices. This includes data within up to date backups created with the Backup and Recovery services provided by the new offering. These backups are done automatically with next generation continuous data protection technology from Acronis. Providers are also able to provide remote support via the remote desktop service as well. Service providers are also provided a simple, unified console to manage all the relevant services.

The new Acronis Cyber Protect has been tested by German security institute, AV-Test. During the test, the new offering was subject to a set of rigourous tests to ensure that the offering was able to handle what it claimed to. Cyber Protect scored an impressive 100% detection rate with a 0% false positive.

Acronis Cyber Protect is available now via their official website. Interested parties are able to request a fully functional trial. The new product will be available at the same cost of Acronis Cyber Backup Cloud until July 31, 2020.
