SMBs Under Attack

Small and mid-sized businesses face many of the same cyberthreats as larger organizations. Attackers use similar methods against businesses of every size, while smaller companies often have fewer internal resources available to detect an attack, contain it and recover.

Acronis Cyber Protect combines cybersecurity and data protection so businesses can protect devices and data while maintaining reliable recovery options. Access provides, deploys and supports Acronis Cyber Protect for Ontario SMBs that need stronger cyberattack protection for small businesses without managing multiple disconnected tools.

For businesses evaluating Acronis Cyber Protect in Toronto and the GTA, Access manages the deployment and ongoing protection as part of a broader IT security and backup strategy.

SMBs under attack

Today SMBs are being targeted by cybercriminals at nearly the same rate as larger organizations and the attack vectors cybercriminals employ for enterprises are almost identical to those aimed at SMBs.

The cost of recovering from a
cyberattack has grown over time.

Longer-lasting data breaches make them
even more expensive.

Long Recovery Times

Recovering from an attack becomes
more difficult when security, backup
and management tools are spread
across different systems and vendors.

A more unified approach can simplify
response and help businesses restore
affected systems sooner.

High Recovery Costs

Downtime can quickly become expensive
when employees cannot access the systems
and data they need. Acronis currently
estimates the average hourly cost of
for SMBs at approximately $8,000
to $20,000.

Business Closure Risk

The consequences can extend well beyond
the immediate interruption. Acronis
currently cites that 60% of small businesses
that suffer a cyberattack shut down within
6 months, reinforcing the importance of
both prevention and reliable recovery.

Acronis Cyber Protect

Acronis brings protection management, anti-malware, and backup and recovery together as a unified cyber protection platform. Access configures and manages these capabilities as one service rather than treating each as a separate security or backup product. Acronis itself positions the platform as a combination of backup, anti-malware, antivirus and endpoint protection management.

Protection Management

AcronisAccess uses Acronis management capabilities
to help maintain protected devices, identify
vulnerabilities and manage important
security tasks from a centralized platform.
Capabilities can include vulnerability
assessment, patch management, remote
management and drive-health monitoring.

Anti-Malware

Acronis

Acronis provides AI-based protection against
malware and other endpoint threats, along
with capabilities such as URL filtering and
backup scanning. Combining backup and
anti-malware in one solution helps reduce
the number of separate tools required to
protect and recover business systems.

Backup
and Recovery

Acronis

Acronis protects business applications,
systems and data so they can be recovered
after accidental deletion, hardware failure,
malware or another disruption. Backup can
extend across physical, virtual and cloud
environments, giving Access multiple recovery
options based on the systems being protected.
Acronis complements the broader IT security
and cybersecurity solutions and remote backup
and business continuity services
available through Access.

SMB organizations gain better protection from the latest cyber threats — simply and effectively with one, unified solution:
Acronis Cyber Protect.

Frequently Asked Questions

The main difference between Acronis and antivirus is the scope of protection. Traditional antivirus is primarily focused on detecting and blocking malicious software. Acronis Cyber Protect combines endpoint cybersecurity with backup, recovery and protection management in one platform. That means Access can address both sides of a cyber incident: helping protect systems before an attack and maintaining recovery options if files, applications or devices are affected.
Acronis can protect more than local workstations and servers. Its supported environments include physical and virtual systems, cloud workloads and SaaS applications, including Microsoft 365. For Microsoft 365 backup and protection, Acronis provides backup capabilities for services including Exchange Online, OneDrive and SharePoint, allowing business data to be restored when required.
Each platform can serve a different role depending on the environment and recovery requirements. Acronis places backup, endpoint cybersecurity and protection management within one integrated platform, making it suitable when a business wants to consolidate protection and recovery capabilities. Access also deploys Datto and Veeam as part of our business continuity and disaster recovery services. Datto is positioned around managed business continuity and recovery, while Veeam provides flexible backup and replication across physical, virtual and cloud workloads. Access evaluates the environment and recommends the approach that fits the business rather than applying one platform to every client.
Deployment depends on the number of devices, existing security and backup software, network environment, workloads being protected and the policies required. Access can assess the existing fleet, configure the appropriate protection policies and stage deployment across users and systems to reduce disruption. The rollout can then be managed and monitored centrally as devices are brought under protection.
