Backup and cybersecurity, unified
Fragmented tools leave gaps that attackers exploit. Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud brings backup, security, disaster recovery and management into one platform — and GDS Africa delivers it as a fully managed service.
The challenge
Protection shouldn’t come in pieces
Most organizations run a separate backup tool, an antivirus, an email filter and a patching agent — each with its own console, its own bill, and gaps in between where ransomware gets through.
One agent, one console
Backup, cybersecurity and management are natively integrated — no stitching together separate tools, agents and vendors.
Integration is the protection
Threats are caught and rolled back from a clean, verified backup — closing the gaps that separate point products leave open.
Pay for what you protect
Per-workload, consumption-based licensing scales up and down with your business — no shelfware, no over-buying.
