Acronis, known for advocating natively integrated applications and services to enhance productivity, brings its expertise to MISA’s ecosystem.

The company’s flagship product, Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, stands out as an advanced and integrated solution, simplifying complexity while delivering unparalleled protection against evolving cyber threats.

The extensive Acronis Ecosystem, featuring over 200 integrations with third-party vendors, further enriches the cyber protection landscape.

Gaidar Magdanurov, President at Acronis, said: “Over 20,000 MSPs rely on Acronis for safeguarding their customers’ endpoints, applications, and data.
