Acronis Security
Detection that owns the recovery — EDR, XDR and 24/7 MDR fused with backup, so a caught threat triggers a scanned-clean restore instead of ending at an alert.
How it’s rated
Full scoreboard ↓Quick answer
Acronis Security is detection and response that knows how to recover: EDR, XDR and 24/7 MDR (by the Acronis TRU threat unit), plus DLP, email security, collaboration security, security-awareness training and posture management — all riding the same platform as the backup, so a detected threat can trigger a scanned-clean restore instead of ending at an alert. The differentiator against pure-play EDR: Acronis owns the recovery. When SentinelOne or CrowdStrike detect, they hand you a problem; when Acronis detects, the clean backup is already there. Built MSP-native, it lets providers offer SOC-grade services they could never staff.

Understand detection & response before you buy it
Most product pages skip this. We start here — so you buy a capability, not a buzzword.
What is recovery-linked detection?
Detection and response — EDR, XDR, MDR — on the same platform as the backup, so a detected threat can trigger a scanned-clean restore instead of ending at an alert.
Plus the perimeter (email, DLP, awareness training) in the same console. Acronis owns the recovery; that’s the whole idea.
Detect-and-hand-off vs detect-and-recover — the honest table
What consolidation actually replaces, dimension by dimension.
| Dimension | EDR + separate backup vendor | Recovery-linked security (Acronis) |
|---|---|---|
| On detection | An alert and a suggestion to restore | Scanned-clean recovery triggered |
| The recovery | A hand-off to the backup vendor | Owned in the same platform |
| The agent | EDR agent + backup agent warring | One fused agent, a policy change |
| SOC services | Can't staff a 24/7 team | Resell MDR by Acronis TRU |
| Email attack surface | A separate email-security vendor | In the same platform |
| The human layer | SAT bought separately or skipped | Awareness training in-platform |
| The ladder | Different vendors for EDR/XDR/MDR | One vendor, scaled to the client |
| Data leaks | A fourth vendor for DLP | DLP on the same platform |
Adoption is a policy change on the existing agent — and the first recovery drill proves the fusion.
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 Fused Agent
The security telemetry and the backup live in one agent — which is why detection can reach for a clean restore instead of just raising an alarm.
EDR Engine
Endpoint behavioural analytics and response — the modern detection layer, with the recovery already in the platform.
XDR Correlation
Signals correlated across endpoints, email and cloud — the fuller picture EDR alone misses.
Acronis TRU
The Threat Research Unit running 24/7 MDR — SOC-grade monitoring an MSP can resell to clients.
The Extras
Data loss prevention, email/collaboration security and awareness training — the surrounding controls on the same platform.
One agent on every machine, one console over all of them — modules attach without a second operational world.
Twelve capabilities. Detect, respond, prevent.
Acronis closes the gap between detection and recovery — the hand-off where incidents used to get lost.
Endpoint Detection & Response
Behavioural detection and response on endpoints — with the scanned-clean recovery already in the platform.
Extended Detection & Response
Signals correlated across endpoints, email and cloud — the wider net EDR alone misses.
Managed Detection (Acronis TRU)
24/7 SOC-grade monitoring and response by Acronis's threat unit — resellable by MSPs.
Detection Triggers Recovery
The differentiator: a detected threat can auto-trigger a scanned-clean restore — Acronis owns the recovery.
Endpoint Isolation & Remediation
Compromised endpoints isolated and remediated — with recovery, not just containment.
Attack Analysis
Incident timelines and forensic context — the story of the attack, assembled.
Email Security
M365/Workspace email threat protection — the vector nine in ten incidents start with, covered.
Collaboration Security
Teams and collaboration-app threat protection — the modern attack surface.
Data Loss Prevention
Sensitive-data exfiltration controls — the leak channel governed in-platform.
Security Awareness Training
Phishing simulation and training — the human firewall, as a sellable service.
Security Posture Management
Vulnerability and configuration posture across the estate — the exposure map before the incident.
No Second Agent
It enables on the existing backup agent — adding security is a policy change, not an agent war.

Here’s what genuinely sets Acronis Security apart from the alternatives.
Acronis owns the recovery
The differentiator against every EDR pure-play: when SentinelOne or CrowdStrike detect a threat, they hand you a problem and a suggestion to restore from backup. When Acronis detects, the scanned-clean backup is already in the same platform — detection triggers recovery, not a ticket to another vendor.
MDR you can resell
Acronis TRU's 24/7 managed detection lets an MSP offer SOC services to clients they could never staff a security team for — a new revenue line, and protection the SMB couldn't otherwise afford.
The whole ladder, one vendor
EDR for teams that respond themselves, XDR for the wider picture, MDR for those who want it managed — the full detection-and-response ladder from one platform, scaled to the client (or your own team).
The perimeter, not just the endpoint
DLP, email security, collaboration security and awareness training surround the EDR — the attack surface (email especially) covered in the same platform, not a fourth vendor.
One agent, one deploy
Because it's fused with the backup agent, adding security is a policy change, not a second agent war on every endpoint — the deployment friction of stacking EDR onto backup, gone.
The honest scope
Acronis Security is strong and integrated — but a large SOC-run enterprise chasing the deepest threat-hunting telemetry should compare CrowdStrike/SentinelOne (on TechBag) directly. The recovery integration is the edge; raw detection depth is a fair conversation.

Quick poll — what’s driving your evaluation?
Talk to an advisor“The EDR flagged a client's compromise and the platform restored the affected files scanned-clean in the same workflow. No hand-off to a backup team — that gap is where our old stack lost incidents.”
“We resell MDR by Acronis TRU as a SOC service. We're twelve people; we now offer 24/7 monitoring. That's a revenue line we invented from a checkbox.”
“Email security in the same platform caught the phishing wave that starts every incident — one less vendor, one less integration.”
“One agent for backup AND security means adding EDR was a policy change, not a second-agent war on 3,000 endpoints.”
“DLP plus SAT plus EDR from one console gave our SMB clients a security posture they couldn't have afforded piecemeal.”
“Raw threat-hunting depth isn't CrowdStrike-level — we knew that going in. The recovery integration is why we chose it anyway.”
“Support at peak can lag — plan escalations. The detection-to-recovery loop is the reason we stay.”
“XDR correlating email and endpoint signals caught a lateral move our EDR-only setup would have missed.”

What does the detection-recovery gap cost you?
Drag the sliders (count protected endpoints; IT-hour cost as loaded security rate). Estimates assume ~3 hours per endpoint per year across cross-vendor incident hand-offs, second-agent management and unstaffed-SOC risk work, with ~60% removed by the fusion and resellable MDR — the avoided-incident value is the larger, unpriced 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 detection vendor
Take this into your next vendor call — including ours.
Simulate a threat and verify detection triggers a scanned-clean restore in the SAME platform — the differentiator, tested.
For a SOC-run enterprise: benchmark raw detection against CrowdStrike/SentinelOne (on TechBag). The edge is recovery, not raw depth.
Test the email-security layer against phishing — it's the attack vector most incidents start with.
If an MSP: pilot MDR by Acronis TRU with a client — the SOC-service revenue line.
Confirm security enables on the existing backup agent — no second-agent deployment war.
Map what DLP actually watches against your (or clients') sensitive-data reality.
If selling awareness training, run one phishing simulation campaign in the PoC.
Know the escalation route — first-line variance is the honest gripe.
