Acronis RMM Recognized for Redefining Security-First Automation for MSPs
SHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland, Aug. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Acronis, a global leader in cybersecurity and data protection, today announced that Acronis RMM (Remote Monitoring and Management) has been selected as the winner in the MSP RMM Platforms category of the 2025 CRN Tech Innovators Awards. Honored for its AI-powered, security-first RMM solution, Acronis continues to drive operational efficiency for modern managed service providers (MSPs). This milestone reflects the company's momentum in building solutions that simplify complexity, consolidate workloads, and empower MSPs to scale securely. Unlike traditional tools, Acronis RMM is built from the ground up with security at its core, not as an add-on. It helps MSPs simplify operations, reduce risk, and drive scalable efficiency. Rather than existing as a standalone tool, the RMM is fully integrated into Acronis' broader cyber protection platform, consolidating backup, EDR, antivirus, and patch management under one agent, one policy, and one console. The result is a unified, natively integrated platform that helps MSPs improve their security posture and operational agility without adding additional overhead. Importantly, native RMM integration allows MSPs to effectively protect and manage more laptops, desktops, and servers without increasing staff.
