What is Acronis?
Acronis is a platform that combines backup, disaster recovery, endpoint security (EDR, XDR, MDR), RMM and PSA tools in one console. It is aimed mainly at managed service providers and businesses, and it also offers Acronis True Image for home users.
All services write to one shared data model, so AI agents and technicians work from the same context across backup, security and operations. Automation comes in three levels: Assisted, where the agent suggests actions; Supervised, where a human approves first; and Autonomous, where the agent acts within set policies. It covers threat detection, incident response, patch deployment and recovery. Each agent gets least-privilege permissions per tenant.
Other modules include GenAI usage protection, SaaS security, HCI and IaaS backup, and dark web credential scans. Acronis reports more than 21,000 service providers and 750,000 companies in over 150 countries, with 50+ data centers.
