BURLINGTON, Mass., Feb. 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Acronis, a global leader in cyber protection, today announced that CRN^®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Acronis, to its annual Security 100 list. This is the second consecutive year in which CRN has recognized Acronis as a leading IT channel security vendor. The Security 100 list honorees bring a combination of channel focus and trailblazing, innovative technology to solution providers.

Today, security continues to be a top concern for organizations of all sizes in all industries as hybrid-remote work becomes the new normal. Growing concerns around cybersecurity and critical data loss coupled with the need for protection from increasingly sophisticated cyber threats are expected to fuel further market growth.

“Acronis is committed to the success of our partners,” said Kevin Reed, CISO, Acronis. “Complexity in cybersecurity is one of the biggest issues plaguing businesses. It results in increased vulnerability and risk, increased cost, and decreased revenues. At Acronis, we strive to simplify cybersecurity solutions by reducing the complexity and associated risk that many partners and their customers experience.”

Acronis is continuously adding functionality to its solutions so partners can deliver simple, secure, and quickly deployed cyber protection services to their customers. This is best accomplished through an integrated platform, like Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, and offers the ability to simplify cyber protection and eliminate needless complexity.

Recipients chosen for this year’s Security 100 list have been specifically selected by CRN editors for their outstanding channel-focused security offerings across five categories: Identity Management and Data Protection; Endpoint and Managed Security; Network Security; Web, Email and Application Security; and Security Operations, Risk and Threat Intelligence. This list serves as a comprehensive guide for solution providers, helping them to identify the top security vendors to team with as they build innovative solutions for their customers.

“With all the unexpected changes organizations have faced since the beginning of COVID-19, security still remains the most critical factor in business today. This year’s Security 100 list acknowledges industry-leading companies that deliver pioneering security offerings to the IT channel that can withstand a wide range of threats. These companies are laying the groundwork for the most advanced cybersecurity solutions,” said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company.

The 2023 Security 100 list will be featured in the February 2023 issue of CRN and online at www.crn.com/security100.
