Keepit and Leading B2B Platform Company Ingram Micro Announce Strategic Go-to-Market Relationship in the UK

23 Apr

New UK alliance enables the IT channel to help customers safeguard essential business applications through broader access to Keepit’s innovative SaaS data protection services

COPENHAGEN, Denmark – April 23, 2025 — / BackupReview.info / — Keepit has teamed with Ingram Micro, a leading business-to-business platform company for the global technology ecosystem, to expand access to Keepit’s vendor-independent cloud solution for data backup and recovery for value-added resellers (VARs), managed service providers (MSPs), and managed security service partners (MSSPs) in the UK. The agreement will also help strengthen Keepit’s position in the UK market as a premium global provider of SaaS data protection solutions and services.

The surge in SaaS application usage, coupled with the exponential increase in data creation, has ushered in an era where businesses are constantly at the mercy of cyberthreats and evolving data compliance regulations. In the 2024 report “The Hidden Costs of Downtime” Splunk and Oxford Economics calculated that downtime costs Global 2000 companies $400B annually. That’s $200M per company per year, which is roughly 9% of profits. And, according to cybersecurity consulting firm NCC Group, 2024 saw the highest volume on ransomware attacks observed since 2021.

Ingram Micro, which has the ability to reach nearly 90% of the global population, will assist in marketing, selling, and supporting the Keepit portfolio while enhancing flexibility in purchasing and financing solutions that incorporate Keepit’s SaaS data protection services.

“Our relationship with Ingram Micro will help expand our UK footprint, elevate Keepit’s partner engagement commitment, and help take our channel business to the next level,” said Liz Barnhart, VP of Global Strategic Alliances at Keepit. “As the importance of data security continues to rise, this agreement will provide channel partners with a new and effective way to procure our technology and better support their business growth.”

“The need for secure, scalable SaaS data protection is more critical than ever,” said Jeffrey Drager, Senior Manager, Networking and Security, Ingram Micro. “Expanding our Network and Security portfolio with Keepit’s cloud-native data protection solution will enable our shared channel partners to help their customers safeguard essential business applications, boost their cyber resilience, and future-proof their data protection.”

The new portfolio reflects Lenovo’s ongoing commitment to delivering innovative storage solutions that meet the evolving needs of modern data centers while helping businesses get the most out of their data. 

“The new Lenovo Data Storage Solutions help businesses harness AI’s transformative power with a data-driven strategy that ensures scalability, interoperability, and tangible business outcomes powered by trusted infrastructure,” said Scott Tease, Vice President and General Manager of Infrastructure Solutions Product Group at Lenovo. “The new solutions help customers achieve faster time to value no matter where they are on their IT modernization journey with turnkey AI solutions that mitigate risk and simplify deployment.”  

Solutions for Enterprise AI, Virtualization, and Sustainability

Kickstart the Enterprise AI Journey with Scalable, Pre-Validated Infrastructure
With AI on the rise and the challenge of supporting both legacy and modern workloads, organizations are rethinking how they approach IT. Businesses are moving to a disaggregated infrastructure model, turning compute, storage, and networking into on-demand, shared resources that can adapt to changing needs to boost scalability, efficiency, and flexibility.

The AI Starter Kits for Lenovo Hybrid AI Platform are pre-configured infrastructure solutions engineered to simplify and accelerate the adoption of enterprise AI deployments.  The validated configurations, comprising compute, storage, GPUs and networking, are built to scale alongside an organization’s needs. Configured with the AI Starter Kits, the new ThinkSystem Series Storage Arrays deliver unified file, block, and object storage to eliminate data silos and leverage high-performance SSD flash technology for faster time to insight.  Additionally, the AI Starter Kits include the new AI-powered autonomous ransomware protection, encryption for greater data protection and synchronous replication with transparent failover to ensure maximum solution uptime.

Powering the New Age of Enterprise AI and Data Modernization
Bringing accelerated computing to the source of enterprise data is critical to business success, and today’s infrastructure must evolve to meet this demand. Enterprise AI projects depend on high-performance storage systems to keep up with the pace and scale of model training, inference, and RAG.

The Lenovo ThinkAgile SDI V4 Series and new Lenovo ThinkSystem Storage Arrays deliver full-stack, turnkey AI-ready infrastructure for enterprises beginning AI implementations while delivering faster inferencing performance for LLM workloads.

Scality Unveils ARTESCA+ Veeam Unified Software Appliance

23 Apr

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – April 22, 2025 — / BackupReview.info / — Scality, a global leader in cyber-resilient storage for the AI era, today unveiled a first-of-its-kind unified software appliance developed in collaboration with Veeam® Software, a global leader in data resilience. The solution combines Veeam Backup & Replication™ software, part of the Veeam Data Platform, with Scality ARTESCA — cyber-resilient object storage software — in a single, streamlined software appliance.

Scality ARTESCA+ Veeam is a unified software appliance that provides a combined deployment of best-of-breed ARTESCA and Veeam software co-located on a single host server. The solution completely eliminates the need for separate (physical or virtual) infrastructure for Veeam, thereby reducing deployment complexity, time, and cost by up to 30%. The solution can be deployed on the customer’s choice of hardware platforms, such as HPE, Supermicro, and Lenovo.

“As the #1 global leader in data resilience, Veeam is thrilled to collaborate with Scality on the launch of the ARTESCA+ Veeam unified software appliance,” said Andreas Neufert, Vice President of Product Management, Alliances at Veeam. “This innovative solution simplifies the deployment of our industry-leading data resilience software alongside Scality’s robust object storage, making it easier for organizations to enhance their cyber resilience. Scality has integrated Veeam into this new solution, combining our strengths to empower our joint customers to create secure defenses against cyber threats while optimizing their backup operations.”

Scality ARTESCA+ Veeam builds upon the three previously announced software, hardware, and virtual appliance deployment offerings, making Scality the most versatile and flexible object storage backup target on the market.

Key benefits of ARTESCA+ Veeam include:

  • Ultra-simplified, foolproof deployment: Ensures fast and simple configuration of backup and storage for immutability and end-to-end cyber-resilience.
  • Increased security: Veeam and Scality ARTESCA running on a single, CORE5-hardened software appliance built on zero-trust principles provides the most secure operation.
    • Restricted credential and endpoint exposure: Access Key/Secret Key stays within ARTESCA, and the S3 endpoint no longer needs external DNS resolution, reducing attack vectors.
    • Embedded firewall protection: Predefined firewall secures Veeam components, enforcing Zero Trust and least privilege by restricting access to necessary ports.
    • Secure Windows access: Managed through ARTESCA Identity Manager with MFA, ensuring only authorized users can log in.
  • Non-disruptive integrity checks: Self-sufficient by design, the appliance runs SureBackup Lite and backup content scans independently — without impacting the production system.
  • Predictable performance: Running Veeam and Scality ARTESCA on dedicated hardware provides consistent, predictable performance with greater resource availability than hypervisor-based deployments.
  • Cost efficiency: The fully integrated ARTESCA+ Veeam software appliance streamlines operations and reduces acquisition, support, and operating costs by eliminating the need for separate server and storage infrastructure.
  • Operational simplicity: A single, integrated dashboard within ARTESCA monitors both ARTESCA and Veeam components.
  • Channel-friendly design: Simple sizing and ordering make sales and deployment effortless for resellers and customers.

“The unified software appliance marks a major milestone in our partnership with Veeam. By combining ARTESCA’s security and simplicity with Veeam’s industry-leading data resilience solutions we’re enabling organizations to build unbreakable defenses against cyber threats while optimizing backup operations — without compromising performance.” — Erwan Girard, Chief product officer, Scality

Scality ARTESCA+ Veeam unified software appliance sizing:
The Scality ARTESCA+ Veeam unified software appliance will initially be available as a single node, configurable to meet a range of VM and capacity requirements, from 20 VMs/TBs to hundreds of VMs/TBs.

Designed for the channel, ARTESCA’s simplicity and low-entry pricing have transformed Scality’s go-to-market strategy within small and medium-sized businesses. Driven by a robust ecosystem of VARs, Cloud and Service Providers and strategic distributors, 60% of Scality’s record-breaking 2024 revenue came through the channel. Scality also recently launched its pay-as-you-go combined pricing model for Scality Cloud and Service Providers, unlocking a lucrative new subscription model and revenue stream for Veeam VCSP partners.

Availability:
Customers will be able to purchase the offering from their channel partners. Scality will provide channel partners with documentation and tooling to install the software appliance on one of a number of pre-validated hardware configurations.

Rubrik Reveals 90% of Global IT and Security Executives Report Cyberattacks in the Past Year

22 Apr

Data sprawl drives spike in cyber incidents across AI, cloud, SaaS, and on-premise environments, according to Rubrik Zero Labs Report

PALO ALTO, Calif., April 22, 2025 — / BackupReview.info / — New research from Rubrik Zero Labs finds that organizations are facing a wave of cyberattacks, with 90% of IT and security leaders reporting cyberattacks in the past year. The report, “The State of Data Security in 2025: A Distributed Crisis,” reveals the hazards that hybrid environments are creating, leading to a cloud security crisis that organizations are unprepared to address.

“Many organizations that move to the cloud assume their providers will handle security,” said Joe Hladik, Head of Rubrik Zero Labs. “The persistence of ransomware attacks, coupled with the exploitation of hybrid cloud vulnerabilities, shows that threat actors are always one step ahead. Companies must take action and adopt an attacker’s mindset by identifying – and protecting – the most valuable data before it’s too late. The need for a data-centric security strategy that prioritizes visibility, control, and quick recovery has never been more urgent.”

The Frequency and Impact of Cyberattacks Accelerate

Cyberattacks are a constant threat: 

  • Nearly one fifth of organizations globally experienced more than 25 cyberattacks in 2024 alone, according to IT and security leaders – an average of at least one breach every other week.
  • The most common attack vectors cited were data breaches (30%), malware on devices (29%), cloud or SaaS breaches (28%), phishing (28%), and insider threats (28%).
  • Consequences of these attacks include:
    • 40% of respondents reported increased security costs.
    • 37% noted reputational damage and loss of customer confidence.
    • 33% experienced a forced leadership change following a cyber incident.

AI, Cloud Adoption and Greater Data Complexity Create New Challenges

Protecting sensitive data across multiple systems has become increasingly nuanced as the widespread adoption of AI has significantly exacerbated the challenge of data sprawl. An overwhelming 90% of IT and security leaders report managing hybrid cloud environments, and half of IT leaders say the majority of their workloads are now cloud-based.

As a result, “The State of Data Security in 2025: A Distributed Crisis” found:

  • 35% of respondents cite securing data across these varied ecosystems as their top challenge, followed by a lack of centralized management (30%), and a lack of visibility and control over cloud-based data (29%).
  • 36% of sensitive files in the cloud are classified as high risk and are largely composed of Personally Identifiable Information (PII), such as Social Security numbers and phone numbers; followed by digital data and business data, such as intellectual property and source code. (Rubrik telemetry data)

Ransomware and Identity Threats Evolve in Tandem

Ransomware remains a persistent and evolving threat:

  • Of the organizations that experienced a successful ransomware attack last year, 86% admitted they paid a ransom to recover their data.
  • Nearly three-quarters (74%) said threat actors were able to partially compromise backup and recovery systems, while 35% said their systems were completely compromised.

Identity threats are intensifying, fueled by the complexity of today’s hybrid environments:

  • With 92% of organizations using between two and five cloud and SaaS platforms, attackers are exploiting weak points in identity and access management to move laterally and escalate ransomware attacks.
  • Insider threats – often driven by compromised credentials – were cited by 28% of IT leaders, underscoring the growing difficulty of maintaining strong access controls across distributed systems.
  • Rubrik telemetry reveals that 27% of high-risk sensitive files contain digital data such as API keys, usernames, and account numbers – exactly the kind of information threat actors seek to hijack identities and infiltrate critical systems.

To read the full report, visit https://zerolabs.rubrik.com/. For more information, register for the webinar, Notions Behind the Numbers: Viewpoints on Rubrik Zero Labs Latest Report, taking place May 14, 2025 at 9 a.m. PT.

Methodology
“The State of Data Security in 2025: A Distributed Crisis” is based on insights from over 1,600 IT and security leaders across 10 countries (half of whom were CIOs or CISOs), conducted in partnership with Wakefield. The findings are amplified by Rubrik telemetry data, including an analysis of 5.8 billion total files across cloud and SaaS environments, with over 175 million sensitive files classified across customer environments. Data covers the period from January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024.

Veeam Launches Strategic Framework to Close the Reality Gap in Data Resilience

22 Apr

New global research from Veeam and McKinsey reveals most organizations vastly overestimate their resilience—Veeam’s new Data Resilience Maturity Model delivers a path forward

SAN DIEGO, CA: VeeamON – April 22, 2025 — / BackupReview.info / — In an era marked by escalating cyberattacks and costly IT outages, Veeam® Software, the #1 leader by market share in data resilience, has unveiled the industry’s first Data Resilience Maturity Model (DRMM). The new framework empowers organizations to objectively assess their true resilience posture and take decisive, strategic action to close the gap between perception and reality to ensure their data is resilient in the face of growing cyber-attacks and outages.

Joint research conducted by Veeam and McKinsey reveals a staggering disconnect: while 30% of CIOs believe their organizations are above average in data resilience, fewer than 10% actually are. This miscalculation is not just risky; it’s reckless. According to the report, IT downtime costs the Global 2000 over $400 billion annually, with $200 million in losses per company from outages, reputational damage, and operational disruption.

“Data resilience is critical to survival—and most companies are operating in the dark,” said Anand Eswaran, CEO of Veeam. “The new Veeam DRMM is more than just a model; it’s a wake-up call that equips leaders with the tools and insights necessary to transform wishful thinking into actionable, radical resilience, enabling them to start protecting their data with the same urgency as they protect their revenue, employees, customers, and brand.”

The Veeam DRMM framework empowers leaders to assess and improve their data resilience by providing valuable insights for aligning people, processes, and technical capabilities with their overall data strategy. This alignment helps minimize risk exposure while allowing organizations to concentrate on mission-critical objectives and sustain a competitive advantage. Notably, the Veeam DRMM stands out as the only framework in the industry from a consortium of industry experts that delivers a holistic perspective on cyber resilience, disaster recovery (DR), and operational continuity across three key domains: data strategy, people and processes, and technology.

Key findings from the Veeam DRMM research include:

  • 74% of organizations fall short of best practices, operating at the two lowest levels of maturity.
  • Organizations at the highest maturity level (the Best-in-Class horizon) recover from outages seven times faster, experience three times less downtime, and suffer four times less data loss than their peers.
  • Alarmingly, over 30% of CIOs in the least resilient companies mistakenly believe their data resilience capabilities are better than they actually are, exposing their businesses to potential failure.

“Data resilience isn’t just about protecting data, it’s about protecting the entire business,” Eswaran continued. “This is the difference between shutting down operations during an outage or keeping the business running. It’s the difference between paying a ransom or not.  It provides the foundation for AI innovation, compliance, trust, and long-term performance – including competitive advantage.”

Built on extensive research in collaboration with McKinsey & Company and insights from over 500 IT, security, and operations leaders, the Veeam DRMM has been validated through real-world customer outcomes, including a healthcare system that saved $5 million per outage and a global bank that achieved zero cyber incidents after implementing the model with Veeam’s platform.

Investing in data resilience yields substantial returns, according to the DRMM research which shows that for every $1 spent on data resilience measures, companies reap $3 to $5, and sometimes as much as $10, in return – driven by improved uptime, reduced incident costs, and enhanced agility. As a result, data resilience has surged to the #2 strategic priority for IT leaders, second only to cost optimization.

A Resilience Blueprint for the Boardroom

The Veeam DRMM categorizes organizations across four data resilience maturity horizons:

  • Basic: Reactive and manual, highly exposed
  • Intermediate: Reliable but fragmented, lacking automation
  • Advanced: Strategic and proactive, yet missing full integration
  • Best-in-Class: Autonomous, AI-optimized, fully resilient

”As organizations increasingly recognize the growing risks associated with data outages and cyber threats, the report underscores the importance of a collective commitment from executives beyond the IT department, to data resilience,” said George Westerman, Principal Research Scientist at the MIT Sloan School of Management. “Data outages can severely impact customer-facing capabilities and erode shareholder trust of an organization. But even more, they can be a signal of immature IT management processes that have led to overly complex, hard to manage, IT infrastructure.  The Digital Resilience Maturity Model highlights ways that businesses can equip themselves to handle today’s challenges while being ready for tomorrow’s opportunities.”

Organizations can kickstart their data resilience maturity journey by participating in Veeam’s tailored executive workshops aimed at moving up the maturity curve, reducing exposure, and unlocking new innovations. By taking these steps, Veeam will work alongside organizations to enhance their ability to prevent outages and recover quickly and securely when disruptions occur, ensuring that data is always available, always protected, and always propelling businesses forward.

About the Report
The Veeam report, in collaboration with McKinsey, is based on a comprehensive survey of 500 senior IT, information security, and operations leaders from large enterprises, coupled with insights from over 50 interviews with C-level executives and IT leaders. It highlights the critical need for organizations to prioritize data resilience as part of their overall business strategy.

  • Have more confidence in a clean incident recovery with Agentic AI-powered intelligent recovery point recommendations and blast radius analysis of infected files across domains
  • Understand the real-world recovery times and how they align with the business SLAs
    Ensure and demonstrate compliance with regulatory and business drivers by implementing standard recovery practices

“Every moment matters to customers experiencing a cyber incident. Having a comprehensive and thoroughly tested incident response plan can be the difference between minimal disruption and massive impact,” said Vasu Murthy, Chief Product Officer, Cohesity. “By simplifying and automating every step of the complex cyber recovery process, RecoveryAgent helps customers boost resilience and respond faster with more confidence to cyber incidents. The world’s largest organizations trust Cohesity because we understand the impact of cyber incidents and consistently offer new solutions like RecoveryAgent to help our customers be more confident in their cyber readiness and recovery.”

Seamless Integration for Enhanced Cyber Resilience
RecoveryAgent automates time-consuming and manual tasks such as vulnerability scanning, malware scanning, and data classification into a structured blueprint. It can also automate forensics investigation, configuration hardening, and patching when orchestrated on virtual machines that are recovered within the solution. These capabilities are powered by Cohesity’s Data Security Alliance, which integrates with leading security vendors to help security teams become more agile and productive. Additionally, RecoveryAgent enhances Cohesity’s existing clean room solution, making activation faster and more intuitive.

“AntemetA has a complex technology infrastructure, and as a result, we need solutions developed with extensive field experience to enable us to be as effective as possible, especially as we are exposed to increasing amount of cyber risks,” said Stéphane Colin, CTO, AntemetA. “This is only possible with trusted partners who take time to understand our unique complexity and work with us to ensure our data can be recovered with confidence and our services guarantee the highest level of resilience, whatever cyber challenges we face. We have a longstanding partnership with Cohesity because it continues to develop solutions like RecoveryAgent, which help us deliver more relevant and effective services. That, in turn, has earned us an equally long-lasting trust from our customers.”

Liquid Web’s Experts Share Cloud Strategies for Regulated Industries in Exclusive Webinar

17 Apr

ATLANTA, GA – April 17, 2025 — / BackupReview.info / — Liquid Web, a leader in dedicated servers, WordPress, VPS, GPU, and cloud hosting solutions for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs), today announced an exclusive new webinar: Off-Prem, On Point: Cloud Strategies for Regulated Industries.

Tailored for organizations fast-tracking their digital transformation, this webinar empowers teams to rethink their IT strategy in response to rising on-prem infrastructure costs and intensifying global market pressures.

Register for the webinar >

This exclusive event will equip IT leaders and decision-makers in healthcare, finance, and legal sectors with actionable strategies for migrating mission-critical workloads to the cloud, without sacrificing compliance, performance, or peace of mind.

Rising Infrastructure Costs and Global Tariffs Drive Urgent Shift to the Cloud
In 2024, as energy and cooling costs rose due to inflation and supply chain constraints, data center systems prices surged nearly 35%, and overall IT spending grew over 7%, according to Gartner.

Additionally, the explosion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) workloads, which require more powerful GPUs and denser compute clusters, increased demand and pricing alongside it. What’s more, this increased demand was coupled with soaring material and skilled labor costs, making the construction of new data centers even more costly.

The rising costs show no signs of stopping. In fact, this year Gartner projects that data center systems costs are projected to grow almost 16%, with overall IT spend following suit at 9%.

Compounding the issue, tariffs on semiconductors and hardware have driven up the cost of servers, networking equipment, and storage systems, making predictable IT spend harder to achieve for regulated industries.

Key Challenges of Traditional On-Premises Infrastructure in Regulated Industries
Rising and unpredictable costs are just the beginning. Retaining traditional on-premises infrastructure also exposes organizations to significant operational, security, and compliance risks:

  • Compliance & Audit Burden: Complex regulatory standards require resource-heavy audits and ongoing manual upkeep, increasing the risk of gaps and human error.
  • Security Limitations: Limited real-time threat detection and manual patching leaves systems vulnerable. High physical security costs have inconsistent implementation.
  • Scalability & Flexibility Issues: Hardware-based scaling is slow and expensive, and over-provisioning leads to resource waste and higher operational costs.
  • Operational Overhead: Frequent hardware refresh cycles drive up capital expenses. It also requires specialized IT staff, which can be challenging amid talent shortages.
  • Disaster Recovery Challenges: Minimal geographic redundancy increases outage risks. Manual backups and failovers result in slower recovery times.
  • Innovation Barriers: Caution around compliance hinders tech adoption. Legacy systems delay integration of modern tools like AI and containers.

“Regulated industries that fail to modernize their infrastructure risk falling behind in a rapidly evolving digital landscape,” says Callie Mykut, VP of Sales at Liquid Web.

“Staying on-prem means dealing with mounting operational overhead, constant compliance maintenance, limited scalability, and heightened risk exposure. It’s no longer just about keeping the lights on, it’s about staying competitive, secure, and resilient. This webinar will help organizations take the first step toward a more agile, compliant, and future-proof cloud strategy.”

What Attendees Will Learn

  • Key factors to consider before moving off-prem, from cost implications to risk management.
  • How to maintain HIPAA, PCI, and SOC compliance in the cloud.
  • Tailored strategies for the healthcare, finance, and legal sectors.
  • Real-world case studies and business benefits of successful cloud adoption.
  • A step-by-step guide to seamless, secure, and future-proof cloud migrations.

Who Should Attend

This webinar is designed for professionals and decision-makers in regulated industries, including:

Healthcare: CIOs, compliance officers, and EHR/EMR system managers.

Finance: CTOs, risk and security leaders, and fintech innovators.

?Legal: Managing partners, legal IT leaders, and SaaS/eDiscovery providers.

Save Your Seat

Date: Tuesday, April 28th
Time: 2:00 p.m. EST

“Our partnership with Kiteworks creates a powerful solution that transforms how organizations manage, secure, and transfer their data,” said Laurie Mitchell, Senior Vice President, Global Alliances and Partner Marketing, Wasabi Technologies. “By combining Wasabi’s affordable, high-performance and scalable cloud storage with Kiteworks’ secure managed file transfer capabilities, we’re helping customers achieve operational excellence while meeting the most stringent security and compliance requirements.”

The combined solution delivers four key advantages:

1. Optimized Total Cost of Ownership: Wasabi provides cloud storage with no egress fees at costs up to 80% lower than traditional providers like AWS S3, Azure Blob, and Google Cloud, while delivering performance advantages. When combined with Kiteworks’ automated governance and security capabilities, organizations benefit from both immediate storage cost reduction and long-term risk mitigation, helping avoid costly compliance penalties, security breaches, and operational inefficiencies.

2. Enhanced Data Security & Compliance: The integration pairs Wasabi’s secure, high-performance cloud storage with Kiteworks’ Private Data Network (PDN) that manages risk in every send, share, receive, and use of sensitive data. Kiteworks is validated with various security standards, including FedRAMP® Ready High and FedRAMP Moderate Authorized (since 2017), SOC 2 Type II, IRAP, ISO 27001, 27017, and 27018, among others. Wasabi also achieved FedRAMP Ready status for government organizations to take advantage of its industry-leading cloud storage service.

3. Seamless Migration & Integration: Kiteworks Secure MFT makes it simple to automate and secure both initial migration and ongoing data operations with Wasabi. Its form-based workflow designer lets teams quickly configure automated transfers, while its graphical dashboard and comprehensive, centralized audit log of all data movements and errors enables organizations to track data transfer progress, troubleshoot problems, and demonstrate compliance with security policies and regulations.

4. Reduced Risk & IT Burden: Kiteworks’ PDN provides a hardened virtual appliance with built-in defense in-depth, antivirus, zero-trust interfaces, and simple clustering for scale-out and high availability. Organizations can enforce policies with least-privilege access controls, strong encryption, and in-transit scans that utilize existing DLP and CDR servers.

“Organizations today are looking for solutions that deliver measurable business impact across multiple dimensions,” said David Byrnes, VP Global Channels, Kiteworks. “This partnership creates a powerful combination where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Together, we’re enabling organizations to achieve operational efficiency, risk reduction, and governance at scale. Customers can now seamlessly manage their entire data life cycle—from storage to secure sharing—with complete visibility, control, and compliance, creating tangible business value beyond what either solution could deliver independently.”

The partnership particularly benefits organizations in highly regulated industries, including healthcare, financial services, government, legal services, and media and entertainment. The solution addresses key pain points for IT and security leaders responsible for cost efficiency, data protection, and regulatory compliance while handling sensitive data.

For managed service providers (MSPs), the Wasabi and Kiteworks partnership creates strategic advantages and new revenue streams. MSPs can position themselves as security and compliance advisors, offering high-value services beyond commodity cloud storage. This integrated solution enables MSPs to build tiered offerings, increase customer retention, and differentiate by delivering measurable business outcomes.

The integrated Wasabi and Kiteworks solution is available immediately through Climb Channel Solutions.

Acronis Drives Cybersecurity Leadership with Over 7.5 Million Attacks Prevented, Continuous Growth, Innovation, and Industry Recognition

15 Apr

Advanced solutions with AI, strategic hires, and a growing global customer base strengthen Acronis’ position in the cybersecurity market

SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland – April 15, 2025 — / BackupReview.info / — Acronis, a global leader in cybersecurity and data protection, solidifies its position as a cybersecurity leader through significant milestones, a broadened global user base, and new product releases and enhancements. Over the past year, Acronis has prevented more than 7.5 million attacks, demonstrating the proactive defense capabilities of its technologies.

Since launching its first security product seven years ago, Acronis has continuously expanded its cybersecurity portfolio, releasing behavioral-based DLP, email security, AI-guided EDR, XDR, and MDR. The company has successfully built trust among its partners and driven widespread adoption of its security solutions. Today, over 50% of its partners use one or more security tools within the Acronis platform, reflecting the rising demand for natively integrated cyber protection. This growth is further validated by an impressive 188% year-over-year increase in protected workloads, highlighting Acronis’ expanded and diversified impact across businesses worldwide of all sizes and industries.

Recent independent industry reports from Canalys, now part of Omdia, and Frost & Sullivan validate Acronis’ leadership in cybersecurity. These independent analyses highlight Acronis Cyber Protect—a natively integrated cybersecurity platform—as the preferred solution for managed service providers (MSPs) as well as small, medium-sized (SMB), and mid-market businesses.

In the Canalys Global Cybersecurity Leadership Matrix 2025, Acronis ranked Champion status for the first time. Acronis is also celebrated for offering vendor-neutral and role-specific technical training through the Acronis MSP Academy, the company’s training offering of over 120 courses and certification programs for MSPs to boost skills and overall company revenue.

“Acronis delivers a comprehensive platform that integrates security services, data protection, and operational management, strengthening its MSP-first approach,” said Matthew Ball, Chief Analyst at Canalys. “With the expansion of its cybersecurity portfolio in 2024—including Acronis XDR, MDR, and Copilot—alongside its enhanced #CyberFit partner program, Acronis continues to empower MSPs with new revenue opportunities, streamlined operations, and advanced threat protection.”

In Frost & Sullivan’s Radar: Endpoint Security 2025, Acronis ranked as a leader in both growth and innovation for the second consecutive year. The report shares how a large portion of Acronis 2,000 global headcount is focused within R&D or product roles, and with over 200 issued and pending patents, a large portion of revenues are invested back into security product offerings and advancements.

“Acronis continues to differentiate itself in the market by addressing the unique challenges of distributed environments in core industries that require sound cybersecurity like manufacturing, healthcare, and retail,” said Özgün Pelit, Senior Industry Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. “It’s flexible pricing strategy, freemium model, and modular approach provide advanced endpoint protection tailored to the needs of businesses that often face budget and resource constraints. Acronis’ vision and go-to-market strategy strategically align with these underserved segments, reinforcing its leadership position on the Innovation Index of the Frost Radar for Endpoint Security.”

Acronis has further strengthened its recognition as a key player in cybersecurity through new research published by the Acronis Threat Research Unit (TRU). Under the leadership of newly appointed CISO Gerald Beuchelt, the TRU team—composed of experienced cybersecurity experts—uncovers and analyzes emerging threats, enhancing the Acronis platform while contributing valuable intelligence to the broader cybersecurity community.

“We all know cybersecurity is a basic need, but at Acronis, we believe that cybersecurity must also enable recovery with Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (the CIA triad). Our natively integrated platform has a higher reliability for cybersecurity and boosts technician productivity by combining advanced threat intelligence, automation, and turn-key integrations. It also provides unique capabilities with scanning email and system backups for infections later to support forensics and recovery,” said Gerald Beuchelt, Chief Information Security Officer at Acronis. “Effective cybersecurity goes beyond technology – it includes people and processes. By integrating security awareness, RMM and agent automation, and SaaS posture management through tools like Acronis Ultimate 365, we help businesses run secure deployments, strengthen defenses, and scale securely with confidence.”

Building on continued growth and success, Acronis has earned top recognition in the G2 Winter 2025 Grid for Endpoint Protection Suites, an achievement that highlights the company’s commitment to delivering exceptional solutions. Acronis’ strong performance in the G2 community further reinforces its reputation as a trusted leader in cybersecurity. To add, in the most recent AV-TEST evaluation, Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud has been recognized with the “Top Product” award, demonstrating its continued excellence in cybersecurity and endpoint protection.
