Acronis

Overview

Acronis Cyber Protect targets a real pain point for small businesses: managing separate security and backup solutions costs time and money you don't have. The platform rolls backup, recovery, anti-malware, and endpoint monitoring into one agent, one interface, and one license. Acronis protects more than 20 workload types, covers physical, virtual, and cloud environments, and backs up Microsoft 365 data. US-based data centers sit in Dallas, Ashburn, Phoenix, and St. Louis. The platform carries compliance certifications including HIPAA, ISO/IEC 27001, and FIPS 140-2. Independent testers at AV-TEST awarded it Advanced Threat Protection certification, and PCWorld named it best Windows backup software. Acronis also earned a G2 Grid Leader position for Endpoint Protection Suites in Spring 2025. Small businesses get disaster recovery with three-click setup, patch management, and 24/7 technical support without hiring a dedicated IT team.
