AI Monitoring and Security Delivered Through MSPs

Acronis GenAI Protection is designed to be provisioned, managed, and monetized by MSPs. Through a centralized console integrated into the Acronis platform, service providers can monitor AI usage across customer environments, including policy enforcement, reporting, and risk mitigation, while protecting generative AI interactions alongside data, applications, and endpoints.

“Generative AI adoption is accelerating, but it introduces new risks that businesses are not fully equipped to manage,” said Gaidar Magdanurov, President at Acronis. “MSPs are uniquely positioned to help businesses adopt AI securely, but until now they haven’t had the right tools to monitor and manage it effectively. GenAI Protection enables MSPs to turn AI security into a managed service, creating new revenue opportunities while protecting their customers from emerging risks.”

Built-In Protection for Generative AI Usage

Acronis GenAI Protection provides visibility and security for AI usage without requiring additional point solutions or enterprise-grade complexity.

Key capabilities include:

• Shadow AI usage and visibility: Discover and monitor generative AI applications used across client environments to understand adoption and risk exposure.
• Sensitive data protection for AI interactions: Inspect prompts for sensitive data such as PII or PHI and prevent unauthorized transmission to public or unsanctioned AI tools.
• Prompt injection and AI abuse prevention: Detect and block malicious prompts designed to manipulate AI behavior or compromise workflows.

“AI is now mainstream for SMBs, with over half using AI tools, led by marketing and sales seeking scale, productivity, and efficiency,” said Matthew Ball, Chief Analyst at Omdia. “While most adoption runs through SaaS, growing use of consumer AI, sanctioned or not, generates new security risks that create new requirements for MSPs to actively manage.”

As AI continues to evolve, Acronis plans to introduce additional AI-powered capabilities to protect, manage, and automate AI services and tools within its broader Cyber Workspace offering. These enhancements are designed to boost productivity and automation, enabling MSPs to streamline day-to-day operations while strengthening data and asset protection.

Acronis GenAI Protection is now generally available globally.
