Timus’ mission is to keep companies protected from data breaches and ransomware wherever employees are working from. Its flagship product, Timus SASE, consolidates multiple tools under a single platform to create a cloud-based security perimeter for businesses and their employees, following users, and protecting traffic everywhere. Timus is the only dedicated SASE vendor built for the Channel.
Timus SASE integration with Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud
Timus SASE provides an always-on VPN agent with Adaptive Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) policies layered on top before granting access. The Timus cloud firewall checks through many user-based parameters (such as new device, location, IP address, impossible travel, etc.) before granting least privilege access to resources. Timus SASE integration with Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud enhances identity security by sending any real-time access and detection alerts, including alert details, to Acronis. This allows security teams to monitor authentication and session activities directly within the Acronis dashboard, strengthening Adaptive Zero Trust security and incident response, while improving operational efficiency.
By integrating Timus SASE with Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, MSPs and enterprises gain a unified security approach, ensuring that both network access control and endpoint protection are monitored from one platform.
Key Benefits:
-Enhanced Security Monitoring: Provides real-time authentication and session alerts in Acronis, allowing security teams to track sign-in activities and detect suspicious session behaviors.
-Proactive Threat Detection: Correlating Timus Adaptive ZTNA events with endpoint security data helps identify brute-force attempts, compromised accounts, and unauthorized access across sign-in, connection, and active sessions.
-Single Pane of Glass Visibility: Consolidates Adaptive ZTNA alerts from Timus within Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, reducing the need for security teams to monitor multiple platforms separately.
-Strengthened MSP Cybersecurity Offering: Adds value to MSPs' client security management by integrating Adaptive ZTNA access and session data from Timus into a broader security ecosystem.
Use Cases of Acronis Integration with Timus SASE:
-Suspicious Access Detection:
A security analyst at an MSP receives an alert in Acronis triggered by repeated failed sign-in attempts to a Timus Connect account. Thanks to Adaptive ZTNA, which monitors risk in real time, the analyst can quickly investigate and block the IP attempting unauthorized access.
-Incident Response & Forensics:
Following a ransomware attack, the security team uses Acronis to correlate endpoint threats with Adaptive ZTNA events from Timus—covering sign-in, access, and session activity—to determine whether compromised credentials were used for lateral movement.
-MSP Security Reporting:
An MSP managing multiple clients wants visibility into authentication patterns and anomalies. With Adaptive ZTNA alerts feeding into Acronis, they can build dashboards that report on risk-based access events across all customer environments.
