Nexcess Introduces Acronis Endpoint Detection and Response for Hosted Servers

Nexcess, a prominent managed cloud provider based in Lansing, Michigan, has recently announced an exciting enhancement to its security offerings: Acronis Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR). This innovative security software is designed to provide users with more robust protection for their hosted servers. As cyber threats continue to evolve and grow in sophistication, Nexcess is taking proactive steps to ensure its clients can effectively address these challenges.

What is Acronis EDR?

Acronis EDR is a sophisticated security tool integrated into Nexcess's managed cloud environment. Unlike traditional antivirus systems that mainly focus on blocking known threats, EDR employs advanced monitoring techniques to detect suspicious program behavior in real time. This software actively examines server activities and flags potential malicious actions before they escalate into significant security breaches.

The selection to implement Acronis EDR was strategic, especially as the landscape of cyber threats has dramatically changed with the rise of artificial intelligence. In the past, unauthorized access to systems required an extensive understanding of security protocols and lengthy reconnaissance efforts. Now, with AI technology making such efforts simpler for attackers, Nexcess recognizes the imperative need for advanced defenses.

Enhanced Security Features

The Acronis EDR solution goes beyond mere threat detection. It continuously monitors user activities, identifies patterns that denote malicious behavior, and automatically responds to any threats detected. This affords customers the peace of mind that comes with knowing there is a proactive defense in place.

When a suspicious activity is detected, alerts are immediately generated and sent to the Nexcess portal, detailing which server is affected, the nature of the threat, and the severity level. Customers can easily access this information, and a single click from the incident report allows them to delve deeper into the Acronis console for more details. This streamlined process, coupled with Nexcess's commitment to customer support, enables clients to manage their server's security effectively without requiring extensive technical expertise.

Seamless Integration and Support

For existing Nexcess customers, activating Acronis EDR is seamlessly integrated into their current services. The Nexcess team handles everything from setup to activation, making it hassle-free for clients to enhance their security measures. Each Nexcess service plan including Acronis EDR is consolidated into a single invoice, ensuring straightforward billing processes.

Moreover, businesses already using Acronis Backup or Disaster Recovery with Nexcess can utilize the Acronis agent already present on their servers. This creates an additional layer of convenience and accessibility for clients who are looking to maintain a secure cloud environment while minimizing disruption.

Nexcess emphasizes that clients do not need to wake up each day concerned about endpoint security. Instead, they can trust that should an incident occur, they will be promptly informed, and appropriate responses will be in place. This aligns with Nexcess’s mission to provide their customers with a comprehensive solution that encompasses both infrastructure and security, all from a single provider.

Availability

Acronis EDR is now available as of October 19, 2026, to any eligible managed cloud customer through Nexcess. Businesses looking to bolster their security posture are encouraged to reach out to the Nexcess team for more information.
