GoTo and Acronis Announce New Strategic Partnership and Integrated LogMeIn Data Protection Suite for MSPs and IT Teams
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- GoTo, the leader in cloud communications and IT, and Acronis, a global leader in cybersecurity and data protection, today announced a new strategic partnership. The collaboration focuses on further enhancing endpoint management and security capabilities for IT professionals across Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and small and midsized businesses (SMBs) and includes the launch of the new LogMeIn Data Protection Suite powered by Acronis. The new offering gives MSPs and IT professionals the ability to level up and centralize their endpoint management by bringing together LogMeIn Resolve's modern, unified endpoint management (UEM) capabilities with industry leading business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) tools from Acronis, extending LogMeIn Practical AI capabilities to the Acronis data and tool environment. LogMeIn Data Protection Suite powered by Acronis offers powerful business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities for LogMeIn Resolve, streamlining endpoint management, protection, and recovery #DiscoverGoTo Share 'IT teams and Managed Service Providers today are tasked with managing incredibly complex environments, and that means endpoint management, backup, and disaster recovery are often handled in separate, siloed platforms,' said Joseph George, General Manager of IT Solutions Group at GoTo. 'Lack of integration across these silos, however, can lead to missed backups, inconsistent policies applied across devices, and delayed disaster recovery responses. We've partnered with Acronis to create a solution to these challenges with the new LogMeIn Data Protection, delivering a connected, scalable experience that dramatically reduces risk, complexity, and time to incident response.' Highlights of the new offering include: Unified Management Experience: Manage endpoints, schedule custom backups, and deploy agents seamlessly in the Resolve console. Simple, Customizable Enrollment: Configure backups to meet the demands of your customers or needs of your organization with file-level, disk-level, image, and application backups. Flexible Scheduling: Automate backup timing with policy-based controls for start-time, frequency, and recurrence. Workspace Coverage: Extend your backup to Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 SaaS for complete coverage across cloud services and endpoints. One-Click Rapid Recovery: Immediately restore systems with historical backup snapshots to minimize downtime and resume operations without delay in the event of a cyberattack, data loss, or system failure. Built for MSPs: Scale quickly and confidently with tools designed for multi-tenant environments. In addition to the new LogMeIn Data Protection Suite, current Acronis BCDR customers will benefit from the partnership with a new native integration. This integration offers Acronis customers the ability to simplify backup and recovery workflows and maintain business continuity with ease as they enroll backup agents on devices and configure custom schedules directly from Resolve. "It's been incredibly rewarding to work closely with the GoTo team to bring this partnership to life,' said Fernanda Silva, Senior Alliances Manager at Acronis. 'Together, we've integrated Acronis' backup, disaster recovery, and endpoint detection and response capabilities directly into LogMeIn Resolve, creating a more unified, efficient experience for MSPs and IT professionals. This collaboration is more than just a technical integration; it's about solving real-world challenges our partners face every day. I'm proud of what we've built and excited about the value this brings to our joint ecosystem."

"Now the entire world is the office… the security went out of the perimeter and the entire world became the perimeter": Rajesh Chhabra, Acronis India Head
When asked whether India could become a cybersecurity leader in South Asia, Chhabra said it depends on how we define readiness. "If we're talking about talent, absolutely. India has no shortage of skilled people... however our institutions still teach outdated also need more investment in R&D," says Chhabra Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. As India's digital landscape continues to expand, cybersecurity challenges are no longer limited to large cities or major enterprises. The risks are becoming just as relevant in smaller towns and regional markets, especially as more users rely on digital services for everyday activities. To understand how the cybersecurity industry is responding to this shift, Entrepreneur India spoke with Rajesh Chhabra, General Manager – India & South Asia at Acronis. He spoke about how the company is supporting Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, how the threat landscape has evolved, and what India needs to do to strengthen its position in the global cybersecurity ecosystem. A local approach to a global problem Rather than selling directly, Acronis has built its India presence through a network of about 500 partners. Half of them are based in smaller towns and cities. "We are a channel-first organisation. We work through our partners who understand their local markets better than anyone else," Chhabra explained. "That's why we don't sell directly. It allows our partners to decide their pricing and approach." These partners receive training through a mix of offline and online formats and get access to materials like customer education guides and on-demand videos. Acronis's partner portal also helps them deliver support to their own clients. According to Chhabra, remote deployment tools mean physical presence is no longer essential. "Our solutions can be installed and monitored remotely, so geography doesn't limit access anymore," he said. Changing role of data in business The role of data has shifted significantly in recent years. "Ten years ago, data was mostly used for accounting or executive decision-making. Now it's the foundation of every department—from operations to sales," Chhabra noted. The volume of data being generated has also exploded. "The amount of data created last year alone is roughly equal to what the world generated over the past ten years combined," he added. This surge is also fuelling demand for secure data centres, but it comes with growing responsibility. "All of this data needs to be protected. And that's where modern cybersecurity becomes critical," he said. New threats, new challenges The nature of cyber threats has changed just as dramatically. "Earlier, antivirus software and basic backup systems were enough for most companies. Today, it's a completely different scenario," Chhabra said. The pandemic and the rise of remote work have extended the traditional boundaries of security. "Earlier, companies only had to protect a few in-house systems. Now the whole world is the office. People are working from unsecured internet connections, which increases the risk of breaches." He also pointed to the rise of AI-driven cyberattacks. "Today's attacks are more sophisticated. Fileless attacks, phishing, DDoS—they're not just one-off incidents. Some of them stay hidden, escalate privileges, and even infect backup systems before demanding ransom." Is India Ready to Lead in Cybersecurity? When asked whether India could become a cybersecurity leader in South Asia, Chhabra said it depends on how we define readiness. "If we're talking about talent, absolutely. India has no shortage of skilled people. We've been exporting tech talent globally for years," he said. However, he noted a disconnect between education and industry needs. "Our institutions still teach outdated tools. Most graduates need significant upskilling before they're ready for modern technologies," he said. "We also need more investment in R&D. For example, Singapore provides incentives to companies setting up R&D centres, even covering part of the salary costs. We can learn from that." The need for data collaboration—and caution As cybersecurity becomes more global, Chhabra stressed the importance of cross-border data collaboration. "Threat intelligence systems around the world feed on data shared globally. This helps companies stay ahead of new threats," he said. But he also warned that data sharing should not compromise individual rights. "Regulations like GDPR give users control over their personal data. That balance between collaboration and privacy is important," he added. Advice for everyday users Chhabra also shared advice for young people and everyday users, particularly those in smaller towns or vulnerable communities. "People should avoid clicking on unknown links—especially on WhatsApp forwards. These often contain malware or phishing traps." He also recommended using different, strong passwords for different apps and checking government platforms like Sanchar Saathi to monitor mobile numbers linked to one's Aadhaar. "Even basic things like searching for customer care numbers online can be risky. You might end up calling a scam number," he said. "The attackers rely on urgency or the fear of missing out to trick people. It's important to slow down and verify." While concluding he said,"We've made progress, but we still have a long way to go."
