If you are looking for Acronis in Singapore, you are probably trying to solve two problems at once: protecting your computers from ransomware and malware, and making sure you can recover your business data if something goes wrong. Acronis brings both together in one platform.
About Acronis
Acronis is a cyber protection company that was founded in Singapore in 2003 and is now headquartered in Switzerland. Its solutions are delivered through a large global network of service providers, protecting hundreds of thousands of businesses worldwide.
Acronis is best known for combining backup and recovery with cybersecurity. Instead of buying separate tools for antivirus, backup and device management, businesses can manage protection from a single console.
Why Singapore SMEs Choose Acronis
- One platform for backup and security. Fewer tools to buy, install and manage.
- Protection against ransomware. Security features help stop attacks, and backups help you recover if one gets through.
- Central management. See which devices are protected and which backups have run, in one place.
- Suits small teams. SMEs without an IT department can have protection set up and monitored by a local partner.
- Grant support. Eligible SMEs can apply for EDGE grant support for pre-approved Acronis packages.
Acronis Backup: Recover Your Data When You Need It
Every business eventually faces a data problem: a deleted folder, a failed hard disk, a lost laptop or a ransomware attack. Acronis Backup is designed to make recovery simple.
Key features
- Simple setup: install the backup agent and choose what to protect
- Encryption: your data is encrypted before it leaves your computer
- Flexible scheduling: back up automatically on a schedule that suits your business
- Easy restore: recover individual files or whole systems when you need them
- Broad protection: protect files, servers and Microsoft 365 data
Why backup matters more than ever
Ransomware often tries to encrypt backups as well as live files. A backup that is stored separately, encrypted and regularly tested is what allows a business to recover instead of paying a ransom or losing its data.
Acronis Endpoint Security: Stop Threats Before They Spread
Your laptops, desktops and servers are where most attacks begin, often through a phishing email or a malicious website. Acronis Endpoint Security protects these devices with more than traditional antivirus.
Key features
- Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR): detect, investigate and respond to suspicious activity
- Real-time anti-malware: continuous protection against known and emerging threats
- Ransomware protection: helps stop attacks that try to encrypt your files
- Behavioural analysis: spots suspicious behaviour, even from new threats
- URL filtering: blocks access to malicious websites
- Vulnerability assessment: finds weaknesses on your devices before attackers do
Why Backup and Endpoint Security Work Better Together
Endpoint security reduces the chance that an attack succeeds. Backup reduces the damage if one does. Using both from the same provider means:
- One console to check protection and backup status
- Fewer gaps between separate tools
- Faster recovery, because the team managing your security also manages your backups
- One partner to call when something goes wrong
Who Is Acronis Suitable For?
Acronis is a good fit for Singapore businesses that:
- Have no dedicated IT staff, or one person handling IT alongside other work
- Rely on accounting, customer and operational data that they cannot afford to lose
- Use Microsoft 365 for email and files
- Want protection against ransomware without managing several separate tools
- Are working towards cybersecurity standards such as CSA’s Cyber Essentials mark, which requires malware protection and data backup
