Acronis Accelerates Cybersecurity Momentum in 2026: TRU Intelligence, Analyst Praise, and MSP-First Innovations

In the fast-evolving world of cybersecurity, staying ahead of sophisticated threats requires more than just tools; it demands deep research, rapid innovation, and strong ecosystem support. Acronis, a global leader in cybersecurity and data protection, is demonstrating exactly that in early 2026. Through its Threat Research Unit (TRU), impressive third-party recognitions, and continuous platform enhancements, the company strengthens its position as a preferred partner for managed service providers (MSPs).

Here is a closer look at how Acronis builds real-world security momentum.

Here are some visuals of the modern Acronis cybersecurity platform in action:

Powerful Threat Insights from Acronis TRU

The Acronis Threat Research Unit (TRU) remains at the core of the company’s momentum. In 2025 alone, the team released 17 original research reports that explore emerging malware, ransomware, and advanced threat tactics. These studies help the entire security community better understand current dangers.

Key highlights from 2025 include research on FileFix campaigns using steganography, the rapid rise of SafePay ransomware aimed at MSPs, the DragonForce Cartel linked to Scattered Spider, Electron-based stealers hidden in gaming environments, and the ongoing evolution of Chaos RAT.

Such in-depth analysis allows Acronis to translate fresh threat knowledge into fast, practical protections for customers.

Looking Ahead

As Gerald Beuchelt, CISO at Acronis, states, true security momentum comes from understanding emerging threats and quickly turning that knowledge into scalable protection. Acronis plans to further leverage GenAI, automation, and TRU insights to address new attack vectors, including those powered by generative AI, while continuing to simplify operations for MSPs.

With over 21,000 service providers protecting more than 750,000 businesses worldwide, Acronis remains committed to delivering comprehensive cyber protection that MSPs can trust and scale.
