Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud
Backup and security in one agent, one console — plus the RMM and PSA to run the business — the platform 21,000 providers chose to protect 750,000 businesses.
How it’s rated
Full scoreboard ↓Quick answer
Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is the MSP channel's favourite platform: backup PLUS AI-based anti-malware, EDR, DLP, email security, security-awareness training AND the RMM and PSA to run the business — all in one agent, one multi-tenant console, priced pay-as-you-grow. 21,000+ service providers protect 750,000+ businesses on it. The fusion is the point: a detected threat triggers recovery automatically, restores are scanned clean before they land, and one platform replaces the five-vendor stack MSPs used to duct-tape. Advanced packs (Security, Management, DR, Email, File Sync) layer on per-client so providers sell exactly what each customer needs.

Understand MSP cyber protection before you buy it
Most product pages skip this. We start here — so you buy a capability, not a buzzword.
What is MSP cyber protection?
One platform for a service provider to deliver backup, security AND the tools to run the business — multi-tenant, per-client billed, with backup and security fused in a single agent.
Acronis defined the fusion; Cyber Protect Cloud is the reference platform 21,000 providers run.
The five-vendor stack vs one fused platform — the honest table
What consolidation actually replaces, dimension by dimension.
| Dimension | Backup + AV + EDR + email + PSA | One platform (Acronis) |
|---|---|---|
| The stack | Backup + AV + EDR + email + PSA vendors | One platform, one agent, one console |
| Detection → recovery | Two products, a manual hand-off | Detection triggers scanned-clean restore |
| Onboarding a client | Five tools to provision | One tenant, one policy set |
| Billing | Reconcile five vendor invoices | Per-tenant consumption, one bill |
| The upsell | A new vendor per capability | An advanced pack per client |
| SOC services | Can't staff one | Resell MDR by Acronis TRU |
| Storage cost | Rented, all margin gone | Own it via Cyber Infrastructure |
| The business | Backup tool + separate PSA | RMM + PSA in the platform |
Migration is per-capability — the old stack retires one contract at a time as the platform takes over.
The five pieces of the platform
Vendors love diagrams; buyers need to know what they’re actually operating. Here’s the whole platform, demystified.
The One Agent
A single agent doing backup AND anti-malware/EDR/DLP — one thing to deploy, one thing to update, one place the two disciplines meet.
Multi-Tenant Console
Every client as an isolated tenant with its own branding, policies and billing — the operational model providers actually need.
Advanced Packs
Security, Management, DR, Email and File Sync layer on per-client — providers sell what each needs without platform migrations.
RMM + PSA
Remote monitoring, professional-services automation and workflow — the tools to RUN the MSP, not just its backups.
Acronis TRU
The Threat Research Unit behind the AI detection and the MDR service — SOC-grade intelligence in the platform.
One agent on every machine, one console over all of them — modules attach without a second operational world.
Twelve capabilities. Protect, secure, operate.
Acronis collapses the MSP tool stack — and closes the backup-security gap where ransomware used to win.
Full-Spectrum Backup
Files, images, applications, VMs, M365 and more — the True Image lineage as the platform's protection floor.
AI-Based Anti-Malware
Behavioural, AI-driven malware and ransomware defence in the same agent — the signature era, ended.
Detection Triggers Recovery
A detected threat can auto-trigger restore of the affected data — backup and security acting as one motion.
Scanned-Clean Recovery
Restores are malware-scanned before landing — the re-import failure, prevented by the fusion.
EDR (Advanced Security)
Endpoint detection and response with the recovery already attached — see the Security page for the full suite.
Data Loss Prevention
Sensitive-data controls stopping exfiltration — the leak channel governed in the same platform.
Email Security & Archiving
M365/Workspace email threat protection and archiving — the top attack vector, covered.
Security Awareness Training
The human-firewall layer — phishing simulation and training as a sellable client service.
Multi-Tenant Management
Per-client tenancy, branding, policy and billing — the operational model for hundreds of clients.
Integrated RMM
Remote monitoring and management woven in — the endpoint-ops engine inside the protection platform.
PSA & Automation
Ticketing, billing and workflow automation — the tools to run the MSP business, not just the backups.
Pay-As-You-Grow Packs
Security, Management, DR, Email and File Sync layer on per client — margin follows the actual need.

Here’s what genuinely sets Acronis apart from the alternatives.
The fusion is real, not a bundle
A detected threat triggers recovery automatically; restores are scanned clean before landing; one agent means the backup and security disciplines share state. Rivals bolt security onto backup — Acronis built them as one, and the recovery loop proves it.
Built for how MSPs actually work
Multi-tenancy, per-client branding and billing, RMM and PSA — the platform assumes you manage hundreds of clients and gives you the operational machinery to do it, not just the backup engine.
Pay-as-you-grow, not shelf-ware
Advanced packs layer on per-client — sell Security to the client who needs it, DR to the one who doesn't yet, nothing to the SMB who wants just backup. The margin follows the actual need.
One platform replaces five vendors
Backup vendor + AV + EDR + email security + RMM/PSA was the old stack. One platform collapses it — the consolidation math (licences, integrations, support contracts, training) is the buying case.
MDR you can resell
Acronis TRU's managed detection lets you offer 24/7 SOC services to clients you could never staff a security team for — a new revenue line and protection the SMB couldn't otherwise afford.
Twenty years of backup pedigree
The True Image heritage means the backup half isn't an afterthought — two decades of imaging, bare-metal and recovery expertise underneath the modern security fusion.

Quick poll — what’s driving your evaluation?
Talk to an advisor“We ran a backup vendor, an AV, an EDR and a PSA. Cyber Protect Cloud collapsed four contracts into one — the renewal-season savings alone justified the switch.”
“A client got hit; the platform detected it, isolated the endpoint and let us restore a scanned-clean image from one console. Backup and security talking to each other is the whole value.”
“Multi-tenancy with per-client billing is why we can manage 400 SMBs without 400 headaches. The operational model is the product.”
“Advanced packs let us upsell Security and DR to the clients ready for it and leave the price low for the ones who aren't. Margin follows need.”
“Reselling MDR by Acronis TRU added a SOC service to our menu overnight — we could never have staffed one. New revenue, happier clients.”
“Support quality varies — first-line can be slow at peak. The platform is strong; plan your escalation paths.”
“It's MSP-shaped through and through — a large direct enterprise wanting the deepest workload matrix should compare the enterprise platforms honestly.”
“Cyber Infrastructure for our storage cut per-TB costs meaningfully — owning the DR target instead of renting it moved real margin.”

What does the five-vendor stack cost you?
Drag the sliders (count protected client endpoints; IT-hour cost as loaded MSP-tech rate). Estimates assume ~4 hours per endpoint per year across five-tool integration, cross-vendor incident hand-offs and multi-invoice admin, with ~65% removed by one fused platform — the retired licence contracts are the larger, uncounted win. Illustrative.
Loaded cost = salary + overheads per productive hour. Illustrative only — your TechBag quote models actual device counts and modules.

The 8 questions to ask every MSP-protection vendor
Take this into your next vendor call — including ours.
Simulate a threat and watch detection trigger recovery, restore scanned clean — the integration IS the product.
Onboard a test client end to end — tenancy, branding, policy, billing. Time it against your current five-tool flow.
Map advanced packs to actual client tiers — don't quote the full menu; quote the right subset.
List the vendors this replaces (backup, AV, EDR, email, PSA) — that stack's total cost is your business case.
Pilot MDR by Acronis TRU with one client — the new revenue line and the SOC-you-can't-staff value.
Model Cyber Infrastructure vs rented storage at your scale — owned DR targets are where margin hides.
Know the escalation route — first-line variance is the honest gripe; plan around it.
If you're a direct enterprise (not an MSP), compare the enterprise platforms too — Acronis is MSP-best for a reason.
