NGAV, EDR, patching and backup on one agent
One install, one console, six layers of defence
Acronis Endpoint Security combines next-gen antivirus, endpoint detection and response, vulnerability assessment, patch management, device control and integrated backup on a single agent. Neo Security deploys it, tunes the policies against your real threat model, and monitors alerts 24/7 so your team does not have to become Acronis specialists overnight.

> What Acronis Endpoint Security replaces
Three or four separate endpoint agents fighting each other for CPU and handling the same logs differently.
An antivirus from 2018 that only catches what VirusTotal already knows about.
Patch management run out of a spreadsheet that was last updated before the intern left.
USB policy that consists of a sticker on the monitor saying "please don't".
The scenario
A user clicks a macro in an invoice email at 14:37. By 14:39 the endpoint is enumerating shares, touching shadow copies and trying to reach a C2. Your legacy AV notices nothing because the loader is signed and the payload is fetched in-memory. The only thing between that laptop and your file server is how quickly your tooling correlates "user ran macro" + "process spawned PowerShell" + "unusual outbound DNS" into one decision.
Integrated protection is not a marketing word. It is the only way the signals line up fast enough.
MITRE ATT&CK timing data: median dwell time between initial access and lateral movement is under 90 minutes for commodity ransomware.
> How we deploy Acronis Endpoint Security
Assess
Endpoint inventory, existing agents, AV / EDR posture, patch compliance baseline. Output: a deployment plan that explicitly retires the agents being replaced so you do not end up running three.
Deploy
Agent rollout via Intune, ConfigMgr or Acronis deployer, per-ring policy tiers (pilot / broad / restricted), backup destinations wired up, integration into SIEM of choice.
Tune
EDR sensitivity calibrated against legitimate admin activity in your environment, device-control allowlist populated from a monitor-mode baseline, patch rings aligned with maintenance windows.
Operate
24/7 alert triage (Neo managed-SOC or your own), monthly vulnerability report, quarterly detection-engineering review where we ship new Sigma-equivalent rules off the latest threat intel.
> Integrated protection layers
Next-gen antivirus
AI-driven static and dynamic analysis plus behavioural engine that catches ransomware by what it does, not by what it looks like. Self-defence on the agent so attackers cannot kill it from local admin.
Endpoint detection & response
Full process tree, parent/child chains and remote investigation from the console. MITRE ATT&CK mapping in the UI so analysts do not translate alerts into technique IDs in their heads.
Vulnerability assessment
Continuous CVE scanning of installed software and OS components. Prioritised output by exploit-likelihood so remediation goes to the 15 vulnerabilities that actually matter this sprint.
Patch management
Automated patching for Windows, macOS, Linux and 300+ third-party applications. Scheduled rings, deferrals, rollback on failure. No more Chrome at 87 while the rest of the world is on 125.
Device control
Hardware-level policy for USB, Bluetooth, removable media and printers. Allowlists by vendor / serial, audit trail of every connection, block at insertion rather than after the copy started.
Integrated backup
Backup and restore from the same agent. No parallel backup tooling, no license stack, no coordination headaches when ransomware hits and the backup server is next on the list.
> Where this agent earns its keep
Replacing legacy endpoint stack
Mixed estate of an old signature AV, a separate EDR trial, WSUS for Windows patching and a bespoke PowerShell script for third-party updates. Six tools, four consoles, permanent drift.
Single agent deployed in 3 waves over 6 weeks. Legacy stack retired, licence costs down ~35%, patch compliance up from 71% to 96%.
Ransomware interrupted mid-chain
User ran a malicious macro from a spearphish. Behavioural engine flagged the PowerShell + WMI + shadow-copy-deletion sequence within 40 seconds.
Host isolated automatically, backup restored the two encrypted folders, root cause and lateral check completed same day. No paid ransom, no BI impact.
Compliance on device control
ISO 27001 auditor wanted evidence of USB and removable-media policy enforcement. Previous solution only logged connections, did not block.
Device-control policy in Block mode with a 14-allow-rule allowlist. Audit trail exported from the console. Control passed without follow-up.
> Endpoints, stacks and tools it fits into
Acronis Endpoint Security runs on the endpoints you have and plugs into the stack you already operate.

> Why Neo Security for Acronis Endpoint
> We do not deploy the agent and walk away. We tune it, watch it, and own the alert queue.
Every Acronis Endpoint deployment starts with an agent inventory and a shortlist of the tools we are retiring. We write the policies against your environment, run the EDR in monitor-mode during tuning, and only move to blocking after a baseline is clean. From go-live onwards we own the alert queue or hand it to your SOC, whichever model you want.
Policies written against your real process trees, not against the vendor default template.
EDR tuned monitor-first to keep false positives off the helpdesk.
Patch rings aligned with your maintenance windows and change-management process.
Device-control allowlist built from observed traffic, not from a blank slate.
24/7 managed-SOC triage on Acronis alerts or hand-off into your existing SOC workflow.
Integration with SIEM so endpoint alerts correlate with network and identity telemetry on day one.
See Acronis Endpoint run against a real payload in your estate
A short intake with an engineer reviews your current endpoint stack, identifies the agents we would retire, and sketches the policy shape we would ship on day one. A live PoC on 20 to 50 endpoints follows within two weeks.
