Acronis, a global frontrunner in cybersecurity and data protection, is accelerating its influence in the industry through a potent combination of AI-driven innovation, deep threat intelligence, and significant third-party validation. The company's momentum, underscored by its Acronis Threat Research Unit (TRU), expanded security capabilities, and a growing integration ecosystem, reinforces its platform as a cornerstone for real-world digital protection.
Research and Intelligence: The Core of Acronis' Strategy
Central to Acronis' advancing security posture is the work of its Acronis Threat Research Unit (TRU). In 2025 alone, the unit has published 17 original pieces of in-depth threat research. This research provides critical insights into active malware, ransomware campaigns, and emerging threat vectors, elevating the security community's collective understanding of the cyber landscape.
Notable research publications from the TRU team this year include investigations into a new FileFix campaign utilizing steganography, the rising threat of SafePay ransomware targeting MSPs, the activities of the DragonForce Cartel (linked to Scattered Spider), the use of Electron-based stealers disguised as gaming software, and the evolution of the open-source Chaos RAT into a significant threat.
Industry Recognition Validates Leadership Position
Acronis' strategic direction and market execution have earned consistent praise from leading industry analysts and peer-review platforms throughout 2025. This external validation solidifies its standing as a cybersecurity leader.
The company was named a Champion in the Canalys Global Cybersecurity Leadership Matrix for Q1 2025, receiving commendation for its MSP-first approach and ease of doing business. Furthermore, Frost & Sullivan recognized Acronis as a Leader in its Frost Radar Endpoint Security 2025 report, highlighting exceptional scores in both growth and innovation.
Adding to these accolades, Acronis was positioned as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Cyber-Recovery 2025 Vendor Assessment in Q3, marking the second time it has received this distinction. The company also secured a top placement in the G2 Winter 2025 Grid® Report for Endpoint Protection Suites, reaffirming its commitment to delivering best-in-class cyber protection solutions.
Empowering Managed Service Providers at Scale
Acronis maintains a steadfast managed service provider (MSP)-first approach, designed to help partners deliver robust security services with reduced operational complexity. As AI-powered cyber threats become more sophisticated and scalable, MSPs face immense pressure to efficiently expand their security offerings.
Acronis addresses this challenge by investing heavily in product development, partner enablement programs, and its TRU research. This focus aims to equip MSPs with the tools and intelligence needed to increase productivity, improve service margins and quality, and ultimately stay ahead of adversaries in a rapidly evolving threat environment.
Through these concerted efforts in research, recognized innovation, and a partner-centric platform strategy, Acronis is not just maintaining but actively driving its security momentum as 2025 concludes.
