Analyst firm Canalys named Acronis a Champion in its Cybersecurity Leadership Matrix 2024 report, published in March 2025. This recognition places Acronis among an outstanding group of leading companies in the cybersecurity industry.
Canalys particularly noted Acronis' practical and accessible approach, as well as how easy they are to work with. It also valued its comprehensive cybersecurity proposition, which combines data protection with management tools, enabling companies to align with standards such as those of the NIST framework.
Acronis Drives Profitability with Innovation and Partner Support
Canalys highlighted the strength of the Acronis solution portfolio, emphasizing its advanced threat detection and response capabilities (such as XDR and MDR). Thanks to improvements in these technologies (coupled with new product updates and innovations) Acronis is reaching more businesses and strengthening its presence in the industry.
The report also noted that Acronis has been able to strategically support its partners by offering better discounts, revamping its reseller programs and improving the training available. All of this has directly contributed to enabling those partners to work more efficiently and profitably.
In addition, Canalys expects Acronis to maintain this momentum in 2025, with new initiatives such as automated partner onboarding, shared marketing campaigns, and more comprehensive and customized training sessions.
How does Canalys choose the “Champion” suppliers?
For Canalys, the title of “Champion” is not given lightly. Each year, the firm thoroughly analyzes which vendors not only offer good solutions, but also generate real value for those who work with them.
They evaluate factors such as revenue growth, the profitability they generate for their partners, positive market perception, and commitment to continuous improvement. They also take into account the quality of support, the training available, and how these suppliers help their partners take advantage of new business opportunities.
The Champions share one thing in common: they are committed to the success of those who work with them, and that is reflected in concrete results.

Canalys Recognizes Acronis for a Year Full of Achievements
Acronis closed 2024 with great strides, and Canalys was quick to take notice. The analyst firm recognized it for its evolution and strong work during the year, highlighting its focus on improving both cybersecurity and operational efficiency.
Among the most notable new features, Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud incorporated key enhancements that made a difference:
-
Acronis XDR extended protection against advanced threats, providing a clearer view of what's happening on endpoints, emails and applications such as Microsoft 365.
-
Acronis MDR enabled 24/7 security alert management without the need to expand internal teams, meaning greater protection without adding complexity.
-
Acronis Security Awareness Training took cybersecurity training to another level, with interactive training and real phishing simulations that helped reduce risk without consuming as many resources.
-
Acronis Email Security strengthened email defense by blocking phishing attempts, phishing phishing, and sophisticated threats such as zero-day attacks.
In addition to all these improvements, Acronis was awarded several times in 2024. It received 100 percent accuracy in tests conducted by SE Labs, along with the highest rating (AAA) in endpoint detection and response (EDR). It also earned a perfect score in AV-TEST's Advanced Threat Protection assessment, which also certified its solution as a Superior Product.
But that wasn't all. In 2025, Canalys again highlighted Acronis as a “Champion” in its Managed Backup and Disaster Recovery (BDR) Leadership Matrix, repeating the recognition earned in 2024.
It also appeared, for the first time, in Canalys' report on remote monitoring and management (RMM) and professional services automation (PSA) tools, where it was ranked as a “Climber,” meaning a company that has been growing strongly in that space.
With this, Acronis became the only company included in all three Canalys reports: the BDR Matrix, the RMM and PSA analysis, and the Cybersecurity Leadership Matrix. An achievement that reflects its ability to offer a truly complete solution.
