Understanding cloud security solutions

Cloud security encompasses multiple dimensions of data protection in cloud computing environments. Effective security solutions must address:

• Data encryption — both at rest and in transit.

• Access management and identity verification.

• Threat detection and response capabilities.

• Compliance monitoring for regulatory requirements.

• Backup and disaster recovery functionality.

• Endpoint protection across all devices.

The best cloud security software integrates these capabilities into unified platforms rather than forcing organizations to manage disparate point solutions. This integrated approach to cloud data protection reduces complexity while strengthening overall security posture.

Leading vendors in cloud security services

Beyond the top five, the cloud security market includes numerous specialized vendors offering targeted solutions. Other notable players in this competitive landscape include:

• Microsoft with Azure Security Center and comprehensive cloud computing security services

• Palo Alto Networks offering advanced threat prevention through Prisma Cloud

• CrowdStrike delivering cloud-native endpoint protection

• Cloudflare providing network security and DDoS protection

• Zscaler specializing in zero-trust network access

Each vendor addresses specific aspects of cloud data protection, but the market increasingly favors platforms that unify multiple security functions rather than forcing organizations to coordinate disparate tools.

Acronis claims top position in G2's cloud security grid

In a landmark achievement, Acronis secured the #1 ranking in Cloud Security in G2's Summer Grid Report — competing against more than 220 vendors in the category. This represents the first time Acronis has claimed the top position in cloud security, marking a pivotal moment for the company and validating its integrated approach to cybersecurity solutions.

The G2 Grid Report rankings are derived from authentic customer reviews and satisfaction scores, making this achievement particularly meaningful. Unlike analyst reports that may emphasize vendor size or market presence, G2 rankings reflect real-world user experiences with cloud security products. Acronis' ascent to #1 demonstrates that customers value its comprehensive platform and measurable security outcomes.

Why Acronis leads the cloud security market

Acronis has earned its #1 position by recognizing a critical truth: the modern workspace is the weakest link in every business — always on, always connected and everywhere. Traditional security tools create complexity and gaps, but Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud solves this challenge with a fully integrated platform that combines endpoint security, remote monitoring and management (RMM) and backup in one unified solution.

Built for MSP efficiency and scale

Managed service providers face unique challenges: managing diverse client environments, controlling costs and delivering consistent security outcomes. Acronis solutions address these needs directly:

Comprehensive protection

By integrating endpoint security, RMM and backup into one platform, Acronis eliminates tool sprawl and reduces the number of agents running on client devices. This integration means fewer compatibility issues, simpler troubleshooting and stronger overall security posture.

Operational efficiency

MSPs can manage more devices with fewer technicians, delivering services faster and at lower cost. The unified console provides complete visibility across all client environments, enabling proactive monitoring and rapid response without switching between multiple tools.

Productivity safeguard

Downtime translates directly to lost business value. Acronis prevents disruptions through layered defenses while ensuring rapid recovery if incidents occur. This dual approach — prevention plus rapid restoration — keeps client teams productive even when facing sophisticated threats.

True scalability

Whether serving small businesses with a handful of endpoints or enterprise clients with thousands of devices, Acronis grows seamlessly. Start with basic protection and expand capabilities as client needs evolve, all within the same platform architecture.

The integration advantage

Acronis' platform architecture delivers three critical benefits that competitors struggle to match:

Integration

One complete platform means fewer agents, reduced system overhead and no tool sprawl. MSPs eliminate the complexity of coordinating multiple vendors while clients benefit from seamless protection that doesn't slow down devices.

Efficiency

Predictable, flexible licensing combined with streamlined management enables MSPs to scale operations profitably. Technicians spend less time managing tools and more time delivering value to clients.
