Acronis

LeaderBackup + Disaster Recovery

Cyber Protection Platform

Acronis delivers cyber protection combining backup, disaster recovery, and cybersecurity into a single agent for endpoints, servers, and cloud workloads.

About

Acronis is a cyber protection platform that integrates data backup, disaster recovery, anti-malware, endpoint detection and response, and patch management into a single agent and management console, pursuing a vendor consolidation approach that addresses the security and backup tool sprawl that IT teams at SMBs and mid-market enterprises manage across multiple separate point products. The platform's unified approach — branded as Cyber Protection rather than backup — reflects Acronis's argument that backup and security are inseparable: ransomware attacks target backup systems specifically to prevent recovery, and recovering from an attack requires both clean backups and confidence that the restoration target is not compromised. Acronis's integrated anti-malware scanning during backup and its AI-based behavioral detection layer address both the prevention and recovery dimensions of ransomware exposure from within the same agent that handles backup.

About

Cohesity is an AI-powered data security and management platform that consolidates backup, disaster recovery, ransomware protection, data governance, and data intelligence for enterprise hybrid and multi-cloud environments on a scale-out distributed architecture designed to eliminate the legacy backup infrastructure complexity that has burdened enterprise IT for decades.
