Acronis Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is now available.
Acronis Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is a simplified, continuous, and effective endpoint security service. In partnership with Novacoast, MDR enables service providers to deliver unmatched business resilience to clients, while also optimizing their resource allocation.
MDR provides:
- 24/7/365 Remotely delivered modern security operations center that monitor, rapidly detects, investigates, contains, responds, and remediates threats and attacks.
- It complements Acronis EDR with a managed service that enables partners who would otherwise not have the skillset to operate EDR to benefit from EDR.
- MDR helps increase end-customer satisfaction, as partners become even more familiar with securing end-customer environments.
- Greater pricing flexibility with two tiers of service, enabling partners to serve more clients and unlock premium margins.
- After the service is enabled by a partner and configured in Acronis Cyber Cloud, the platform starts forwarding EDR incident telemetry to Novacoast, who then investigate and implement response activities to address these incidents. Incidents that are not automatically mitigated by EDR will be forwarded to Novacoast. Incidents that are mitigated and closed automatically will not be forwarded to Novacoast.
