Acronis named a leader in Frost Radar™ Endpoint Security, 2025 report

A leadership spot on the Frost Radar™ from industry analyst firm Frost & Sullivan highlights Acronis’ leadership in growth and innovation. The recognition shows that Acronis has substantial future growth potential, is well-positioned to shape best practices in its industry and drives competitive intensity.

A presence in the Frost Radar report also enhances Acronis’ reputation and market position — highlighting the company for its excellent reputation among customers and partners. The report specifically praised Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud as a standout solution for managed service providers (MSPs), citing natively integrated endpoint security, backup and recovery, and endpoint management.

Frost & Sullivan also named Acronis a Leader in 2023, the last time the firm published a Frost Radar Endpoint Security report. With recognition in 2025, Acronis is maintaining and building on its leadership position.

Frost & Sullivan evaluates vendors along two primary indices: growth and innovation.

The firm projects strong growth for endpoint security, with a projection that global enterprise spending will reach $22.3 billion by 2028, driven by digital transformation, remote working and the need for cloud-hosted consoles. That increase in spending would represent a 14.7% compounded annual growth rate.

For the Frost Radar, Frost & Sullivan determines the Growth Index by evaluating a company's growth performance and track record, its ability to develop and execute a fully aligned growth strategy and vision and the strength of its growth pipeline system. The Frost Radar also explores the effectiveness of a vendor’s sales and marketing strategies focused on the market, competitors and end users.

The five key elements contributing to the Growth Index are:

1. Market share over the previous three years: Market presence and ability to maintain or increase market share.
2. Revenue growth over the previous three years: Financial performance and the ability to generate consistent revenue.
3. Strength and leverage of the growth pipeline: Ability to develop and execute a robust pipeline of growth opportunities.
4. Alignment of vision and strategy: How well the company's vision and strategy are aligned with market needs and trends.
5. Effectiveness of sales and marketing efforts: Ability to effectively market and sell products or services.

The Innovation Index measures a company's ability to develop globally applicable products, services or solutions that can evolve and expand to serve multiple markets and align with customers' changing needs.

The five key elements contributing to the Innovation Index are:

1. Innovation scalability: Ability to scale innovations to multiple markets.
2. Research and development: Investment in R&D and ability to innovate.
3. Product portfolio: Breadth and depth of product offerings.
4. Megatrends leverage: Ability to leverage major industry trends.
5. Customer alignment: Ability to align products and services with customer needs.

Frost & Sullivan’s evaluation cited several critical factors for naming Acronis a leader in endpoint security and management. The report offered key observations about Acronis’ positive attributes, including:

Acronis has an extensive network of over 20,000 channel partners, which is crucial for targeting small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and midmarket customers. This extensive network helps Acronis reach a broader customer base and ensures that its solutions are accessible and well-supported.

Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is a standout solution in the market, combining endpoint security, backup and recovery, and endpoint management into a single, unified platform. This integration, powered by a single agent, simplifies the management of cybersecurity needs, making it easier for organizations to protect their data and systems.

The Acronis platform's advanced features, including behavioral-based data loss prevention (DLP) technology, significantly reduce the complexity of policy management. By monitoring user behavior, the system can suggest and fine-tune DLP policies, ensuring they are both effective and user-friendly.

Acronis further demonstrates its dedication to innovation through a substantial investment in research and development (R&D). With about one-third of its 2,000 global headcount dedicated to R&D and product roles, and over 200 issued and pending patents, Acronis is continuously pushing the boundaries of cybersecurity technology. R&D efforts are focused on continuing development of an in-house extended detection and response (XDR) solution and continued integration of generative AI into the Acronis product portfolio.

Acronis' global presence, with data centers around the world, ensures that it can meet diverse compliance requirements, a critical factor in today's regulatory landscape. This strategic positioning has helped Acronis expand its reach and solidify its market presence.

While Acronis' channel-driven go-to-market model is highly effective, the company also targets specific verticals directly, including manufacturing, health care and retail. These sectors often have distributed environments, and Acronis' solutions are well-suited to address their unique challenges.

Frost & Sullivan’s evaluation concludes that Acronis' leadership in growth and innovation is a result of its integrated platform, advanced technology, strategic partnerships and customer-centric approach. As the cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve, Acronis is well-positioned to maintain its leadership and drive further innovation.
