Cyberattacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and a traditional antivirus solution that only reacts after something has already gone wrong is no longer enough. With Acronis Detection & Response, you take security to the next level by monitoring the entire IT environment in real time and taking action before damage occurs.
It all starts with EDR
Acronis Endpoint Detection & Response
EDR is the foundation of Acronis Detection & Response and protects against modern threats through AI-driven detection and response. With intelligent guidance, analysis and remediation are accelerated from hours to minutes, enabling deeper investigations and faster response at scale. Automated actions provide immediate threat remediation while reducing both risk and operational costs. The solution also helps meet multiple cyber insurance and compliance requirements within a single platform. Through integrated security, response, and recovery, it ensures strong business continuity where traditional point solutions fall short.
MDR and XDR then build on this foundation to deliver even stronger and broader protection.
Acronis EDR in reality
Imagine an employee clicking on a link in an email that appears legitimate but actually initiates an attack. With EDR, the system immediately detects the abnormal behavior, isolates the affected device, and prevents the threat from spreading across the network. It’s like having a security guard constantly on patrol, stopping break-in attempts before they ever reach the door. EDR detects, stops, and helps you understand what happened, so you can prevent it from happening again. For your business, this means security at every workplace: every device, every user, every day.
MDR - your extra layer of Protection
Acronis Managed Detection & Response
24/7/365 managed threat detection, response, and recovery for unmatched business continuity. MDR is built on the same technical foundation as EDR, but adds a critical layer: a dedicated security team (SOC) that works 24/7 to monitor, analyze, and respond to all alerts. This means the customer receives comprehensive security protection without having to build in-house expertise.
Experienced SOC analysts provide continuous 24/7 monitoring of all alerts, including outside normal business hours. Human analysts verify and classify threats to minimize false positives and ensure that real risks are addressed. In addition, proactive threat hunting is performed to actively search for hidden threats and advanced attack patterns. Customers also receive guidance and support with clear, actionable recommendations to help them respond effectively.
When is MDR the right fit? MDR is ideal for organizations that lack in-house IT security expertise, have a high risk profile or business-critical IT systems, require continuous monitoring, or are subject to regulatory requirements for rapid incident response and detailed reporting.
Acronis MDR in reality
Imagine a suspicious login attempt occurring late at night, outside normal business hours. Instead of just triggering an alert, MDR steps in. A dedicated SOC analyst investigates the activity in real time, confirms it as a genuine threat, and immediately initiates the appropriate response. isolating systems, stopping the attack, and guiding your team on next steps. It’s like having a full security operations team watching over your business 24/7, ready to act the moment something goes wrong. MDR doesn’t just detect threats; it verifies, responds, and supports you through the entire incident. For your business, that means continuous protection, expert decision-making, and peace of mind, both day and night.
Acronis XDR in reality
Imagine an employee receiving a message in Teams containing a malicious link, while unusual network traffic appears and an account attempts to log in from an unknown location. Each of these events may seem harmless on its own, but together they tell a very different story. With XDR, all of these signals are automatically correlated. The system recognizes the pattern, raises an immediate alert, and stops the attack before it can take hold in the organization.
Comprehensive protection for your entire IT environment
Acronis Extended Detection & Response
While EDR focuses on protecting each individual endpoint, XDR collects and correlates data from your entire IT environment. This means the system doesn’t just see that something is wrong - it also understands how and why. For example, if an attack starts through an email in Outlook, attempts to spread to files in OneDrive, and then moves on to a device, XDR connects all of these events and stops the attack in time.
The system also operates proactively, using advanced analytics and AI to identify patterns that signal potential threats, even before an incident occurs. This enables XDR to stop malicious activity before it causes damage, while immediately notifying IT teams with clear, actionable guidance on what to do next.
For your business, Acronis XDR delivers control, confidence, and fast recovery. You gain a solution that provides full visibility across your environment, responds automatically to suspicious activity, and keeps your operations running without disruption.
See everything. Stop threats fast. Keep your business running.
EDR protects every individual device in your organization. It continuously monitors endpoint activity, quickly detects suspicious behavior, and stops attacks directly at the device level. When an incident occurs, EDR provides clear visibility into what happened, helping you respond faster and prevent similar threats in the future. It delivers strong protection where many attacks begin - on the endpoint.
MDR takes security further by combining advanced technology with a dedicated security operations team that monitors your environment 24/7. Instead of just generating alerts, experienced SOC analysts investigate events, confirm real threats, and take immediate action when incidents occur. You get complete security coverage without the need to build in-house expertise - along with expert guidance and rapid response at all times.
XDR brings together signals from across your entire IT environment, from endpoints, identities, email, cloud services, and networks - all into a single, unified view. Using advanced analytics and AI, XDR identifies attack patterns that would otherwise go unnoticed. This enables faster, more accurate responses and helps stop threats before they gain a foothold. XDR delivers full visibility, automated protection, and control across your organization.
