About Acronis
Acronis provides an AI-native cyber platform that combines cybersecurity, data protection and IT automation. It sells to service providers such as MSPs, VARs, hosting and telecom firms, as well as business and enterprise customers including SMBs, multi-site IT and OT, and home users. The platform uses a common data model shared across all services, so AI agents and technicians work from the same information. Agents operate with least-privilege access and policy guardrails, and decisions are tied to customer telemetry and threat research. The company offers products for endpoint detection and response, backup, disaster recovery, SaaS security, remote monitoring and management, and professional services automation. It also provides GenAI protection to monitor AI usage and block sensitive data from reaching public tools. Acronis serves customers in over 150 countries through more than 21,000 service providers and 750,000 companies.
