Managed Detection & Response with Acronis and OpSys Cyber Security Operations Center, Australia
OpSys’ Managed Detection & Response (MDR) service combines the power of Acronis Endpoint Security with the expertise and 24×7 coverage of our Adelaide-based (Australia) Cyber Security Operations Center (CSOC). This unique integration ensures that threats are not only detected quickly but also analysed, contained, and remediated before they can disrupt your business.
At its core, MDR with Acronis and OpSys goes beyond traditional endpoint protection. Where most endpoint security tools stop at detection or simple blocking, our solution leverages a closed loop of protection, monitoring, and response: endpoints report into the Acronis Cyber Protect platform, which feeds into the OpSys MDR pipeline for advanced correlation, threat hunting, and automated action.
Acronis Endpoint Security Integration
Acronis Endpoint Security provides next-generation protection features that are deeply integrated into our MDR stack:
- Anti-malware and anti-ransomware – AI-powered detection of zero-day malware, ransomware roll-back capabilities, and real-time process monitoring.
- EDR functionality – Endpoint Detection & Response features that provide detailed event telemetry and attack chain visibility.
- Forensic data capture – Detailed logs, process activity, and evidence are collected at the endpoint and made available to OpSys analysts.
- Automated isolation – Endpoints suspected of compromise can be quarantined from the network instantly via Acronis’ native API.
- Backup and recovery – Integration with Acronis’ backup technology allows us not only to stop an attack but also to roll back systems to a known-good state in minutes.
By tightly coupling these capabilities with the OpSys SOC, we can move beyond detection and provide real-time remediation directly on your devices.
OpSys SOC Integration
Every event from Acronis endpoints feeds into the OpSys CSOC for enrichment and cross-correlation. Our Elastic-based analytics platform ingests endpoint telemetry alongside other sources—network logs, email gateways, and cloud service activity—to form a unified security picture.
Key benefits of the SOC integration include:
- Continuous monitoring – 24×7 oversight by experienced analysts and automated detection engines.
- Threat correlation – Endpoint alerts are cross-checked against global threat intelligence and internal customer baselines.
- Automated playbooks – When Acronis flags suspicious activity, our SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation & Response) workflows can instantly isolate the device, kill malicious processes, or trigger an investigation.
- Human-led analysis – SOC analysts investigate high-priority incidents to validate, add context, and determine impact, ensuring customers aren’t overwhelmed with false positives.
- Custom policies – Detection and response playbooks are tuned to each customer’s risk profile, compliance requirements, and operating environment.
Advanced Use Cases
Ransomware Defence
If ransomware is detected by Acronis on an endpoint, the OpSys SOC receives the alert, correlates it with other telemetry, and executes an automated response. The endpoint can be instantly isolated, the process terminated, and data restored from clean backups, limiting impact to minutes rather than days.
Phishing and Lateral Movement
Endpoints targeted by phishing emails are often the first entry point for attackers. Acronis captures malicious payloads or suspicious processes, while OpSys SOC tracks whether those credentials or connections appear elsewhere in the network. Coordinated response ensures compromised accounts are disabled, devices quarantined, and incident reports shared with the customer’s IT team.
Zero-Day Exploits
Acronis’ AI-based heuristics can flag never-before-seen attack behaviour. OpSys analysts investigate these anomalies using threat intelligence feeds, sandboxing, and forensic review. Confirmed exploits are immediately blocked and global rules are updated to protect the entire customer base.
Business Benefits
- Reduced Risk: Continuous detection and response across all endpoints, minimising dwell time of attackers.
- Faster Recovery: Acronis’ backup integration ensures compromised systems can be rolled back with minimal downtime.
- Cost Efficiency: Customers gain access to enterprise-grade SOC services without the cost of building their own team.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing that a local, Australian based provider is watching your environment 24×7.
- Scalability: Whether protecting a handful of endpoints or thousands across multiple regions, the MDR service scales with your business.
