ICT distributor Rectron has expanded its cyber security solutions with an additional offering from cyber security services provider, Acronis.

Acronis says its Acronis Cyber Cloud is a platform that enables managed service providers to deliver cyber protection in an easy, efficient and secure way. It gives service providers and their customers access to hybrid cloud backup, disaster recovery, ransomware protection, file sync and share, and blockchain-based file notarisation and e-signature services, all managed from a centralised console.

Rectron partners, who have signed Acronis service provider agreements, will also be able to customise the security service into bespoke packages and billing options as they see fit for their business.

Elaine Wang, cloud and software solutions director at Rectron, says the past year has accelerated many organisations’ journey to the cloud. Concurrently, threat actors are increasingly turning their attention towards targeting remote workforces. 

“With this updated menu of services from Acronis, our resellers can build their own bespoke cyber security practice, which offers businesses the benefits of cloud technology with a flexible approach, depending on their budgets and circumstances,” she adds.

Acronis, founded in Singapore in 2003 and incorporated in Switzerland in 2008, now has more than 1 500 employees in 33 locations in 18 countries.

“We have enjoyed a long-standing partnership with Rectron, with our Acronis Cloud Backup as part of the RCT cloud platform portfolio," comments Peter French, GM for Middle East and Africa at Acronis. "We’re now excited to continue this evolution of cloud service offerings with our all-in-one cyber protection, which has been built to enable service providers to easily deliver efficient, reliable and secure solutions across data, applications and systems." 

This recent addition from Acronis is part of RCT Cloud, Rectron’s cloud platform that houses the distributor’s cloud and software solutions, and professional services. These include access to licenses, assistance with migrations and deployments and after-sales support.
