Cybersecurity and data protection leader Acronis recently announced the debut of a comprehensive Microsoft 365 protection solution for managed service providers (MSPs) called Acronis Ultimate 365.
Ultimate 365 allows MSPs to manage cybersecurity, backup, and compliance with a single, natively integrated, multi-tenant platform to help boost efficiency, reduce technician workload, maximize profitability, and simplify customer management. Its adoption allows MSPs to “significantly reduce” time spent on management, improving efficiency and profitability. It also provides a flexible and predictable pricing model that helps MSPs to meet customer needs, simplify service offerings, and scale their customer base.
By integrating security, backup, and compliance into a single, natively integrated platform, MSPs can differentiate their services, create new revenue opportunities, and maximize customer value.
“MSPs today struggle with tool sprawl, time-consuming customer onboarding, and complex security management for Microsoft 365,” said Gerald Beuchelt, CISO at Acronis. “MSPs need a simple, cost-effective way to deliver comprehensive Microsoft 365 protection without managing multiple tools. The solution is Acronis Ultimate 365. With a single, easy-to-use, and powerful platform, MSPs can now integrate XDR, email security, and security awareness training– essential services that enhance security– while ultimately simplifying client management at a predictable cost.”
The Acronis Ultimate 365 solution offers:
- Complete Microsoft 365 Protection: Ultimate 365 secures Microsoft 365 environments through integrating backup, extended detection and response (XDR), email security, collaboration app security, email archiving, security posture management, and security awareness training into a single intuitive platform.
- Accelerated time to revenue: Enables MSPs to onboard clients and deliver services without the delays of complex contract negotiations, manual tool integrations, or extensive staff training, allowing for a speeder path to profitability.
- Efficient, scalable management: The solution simplifies operations by allowing MSPs to manage all customers and services in one centralized platform, reducing tool sprawl and minimizing technician workload.
Acronis cites Microsoft 365 as a premium target for threat actors as it is a widely utilized business platform around the globe. A quick search indicates that channel leaders know that sentiment to be true. Just days ago, Microsoft 365 was hit with a password-spraying attack launched by a botnet of over 130,000 compromised devices.
“Many MSPs manage Microsoft 365 security backup without an integrated platform, often relying on seven or more separate tools per customer,” Acronis said in a press release. “This fragmented approach leads to operational inefficiency, complex onboarding, security gaps, and increased costs.”
Acronis Ultimate 365 addresses these challenges with an integrated solution that simplifies management while ensuring robust protection against cyber threats.
