Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud and PRTG: Complete Cybersecurity and Monitoring for MSPs

What if there was a battle-tested, MSP-focused cloud platform where you could simply enroll your clients and immediately deliver cybersecurity, endpoint protection and acronis backup services? Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud does exactly that. And when you combine it with Paessler PRTG monitoring, you get a complete picture of everything that matters - security, performance and availability across your entire client base.

Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud

For over 20 years, Acronis has been delivering data protection solutions to businesses of all sizes. What started with disk and partition management tools - the kind that have saved many an IT admin from a catastrophic hard drive or HDD failure - evolved steadily into cloud and on-premises backup products and ultimately into one of the most comprehensive integrated cybersecurity platforms available today.

Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud unites best-in-breed backup capabilities with next-generation, AI-based anti-malware, antivirus and endpoint protection management - all in a single solution. The API-based architecture was designed from the ground up with integration and automation in mind. The result: less manual work, lower operating costs, and better protection for your clients against the growing wave of cyberattacks.

What makes this platform particularly compelling for service providers is how it handles today's threat landscape head-on. Ransomware, phishing, unauthorized access, vulnerability exploitation - these aren't abstract risks. They're the daily reality for IT admins protecting client environments. Real-time behavioral analysis and automatic remediation stop threats before they can cause lasting damage. In environments handling sensitive data, that kind of response isn't a luxury. It's a necessity.

Beyond the core product, Acronis offers a set of modular advanced protection packs that can be layered onto the platform based on each client's specific needs:

• Advanced Backup extends backup data retention and adds granular protection for workloads across physical and virtual machines, NAS devices, HDD storage, RAID configurations and off-site locations
• Advanced Disaster Recovery enables rapid failover for physical and virtual environments, including Microsoft Hyper-V setups, ensuring business continuity even when the worst happens
• Advanced Security + EDR delivers deep endpoint detection and response capabilities, going well beyond traditional anti-malware to identify and contain sophisticated threats across laptops, workstations and servers
• Advanced Email Security provides real-time protection against phishing, spam and email-borne malware - before it ever hits the inbox
• Advanced Management simplifies patch management and vulnerability assessments across devices running Windows, Linux and other operating systems
• Advanced Data Loss Prevention (DLP) prevents sensitive data from leaving the organization through unauthorized channels - a must-have for any environment with compliance requirements

These protection packs aren't just about stacking features. For MSPs, they enable more tailored service offerings, better margins, and far less overhead compared to managing multiple separate tools. Everything - protection plans, storage options, backup validation, patch management - is handled through a single interface.

Last but not least, comprehensive dashboards and reports give service providers an immediate overview of each client's environment. Those dashboards can be shared directly with clients, and the portal supports custom branding. A small detail, maybe - but one that makes a real difference when you're building long-term client relationships.

Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud and PRTG – All angles covered

Here's where things get really powerful. Acronis and Paessler have built a proven integration that connects Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud with PRTG - bringing endpoint protection status and infrastructure monitoring together in a single view.

The integration is available for PRTG Network Monitor, PRTG Hosted Monitor, and PRTG Enterprise Monitor. That means it fits your setup regardless of how your environment is structured - whether you're running on-premises, cloud-hosted, or a mix of both. And regardless of what you're monitoring: physical servers, virtual machines, NAS devices, Hyper-V hosts, cloud services, or a distributed data center infrastructure - PRTG handles the underlying network and infrastructure layer, while Acronis covers endpoint security and data protection.

The technical foundation of the integration is PRTG's Python Script Advanced Sensor. Thanks to Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud's API-focused design, you can pull real-time status information about your protected workloads directly into PRTG. Acronis has published a detailed technical guide on how to set up the sensor and extend it with additional functions. The integration is also available directly in the PRTG Sensor Hub.

Think about what that means day-to-day. You're reviewing your PRTG dashboard and spot unusual traffic on a network device at one of your client sites. At the same moment, the Acronis sensor flags that a workstation at the same location hasn't received a successful backup in over 48 hours - and that a vulnerability has been detected on one of the laptops. Without the integration, you might catch one of those signals. With it, you see the full picture - instantly.

That kind of combined visibility matters especially in complex environments: RAID storage setups, Hyper-V clusters running multiple virtual machines, mixed operating system landscapes with both Windows and Linux systems, or distributed architectures with on-premises and off-site components. Managing all of this across multiple clients, with automated alerts firing the moment something goes wrong - that's precisely what the combination of Acronis and PRTG makes possible.

For MSPs, the value is straightforward. One unified view of all client environments, without constantly switching between tools. Automated alerts notify you the moment something requires attention - whether that's a backup failure, a ransomware detection, an authentication anomaly, or a disruption in cloud services. And your clients get a managed service that genuinely delivers on its promise.
