Octiga announces strategic OEM partnership to license 365 security software technology to Acronis

This collaboration marks a significant milestone in our commitment to delivering state-of-the-art solutions to the growing MSP and MSSP communities.

Under the terms of this partnership, Acronis customers will have the opportunity to integrate Octiga's software technology to create Security Posture Management (SPM) for Microsoft 365, enhancing the performance, security, and functionality of their Acronis portfolio. This integration will empower customers to enable efficient and best-practice delivery of Microsoft 365 SPM services to clients.

"Acronis shares Octiga's commitment to security excellence and innovation,” said Pat Hurley, RVP Americas at Acronis. “Their SPM technology has been widely recognized for its reliability, performance, and security, making them the ideal partner for this strategic collaboration."

Key highlights of the partnership include:

• Enhanced risk detection: Built-in security methods often overlook complex vulnerabilities, leaving MSPs and their clients with undetected risks. Acronis provides immediate insight into previously undetected risks upon onboarding a new tenant, typically revealing 8-9 new vulnerabilities.

• Always-on protection and minimal exposure: Continuous monitoring of baseline deviations and automatic risk remediation enable MSPs to bypass costly manual security audits, gain peace of mind by ensuring new risks are foreseen, and minimize vulnerability windows by automatically closing the gaps.

• Simplified complex tasks for non-senior technicians: There are complex tasks, such as risk remediation or user off boarding, that are traditionally handled by more senior technicians, who are expensive and scarce. Acronis simplifies these tasks and makes them manageable for less experienced technicians.

• Centralized multitenant management: Since MSPs manage Microsoft 365 tenants of multiple clients, they often need to log in to different tenants and switch between consoles constantly, which hinders technician performance. With Acronis, MSPs can manage Microsoft 365 tenants for all clients, all from a single console.

“Acronis shares Octiga's commitment to security excellence and innovation,” said Pat Hurley, RVP Americas at Acronis. “Their SPM technology has been widely recognized for its reliability, performance, and security, making them the ideal partner for this strategic collaboration. Together, we are poised to deliver unparalleled cyber security and value to our customers.”
