Integration Benefits
Threat Analysis Center - Detections example
When you integrate Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud with Sophos MDR and Sophos XDR, attempts to manipulate backup procedures and delete backup repositories can be identified - tactics frequently used by attackers to hinder recovery post-breach. Anomalies such as unexpected data deletion, disabling multi-factor authentication, and password changes, may indicate malicious activity requiring rapid investigation and remediation.
Once backups are disabled, attackers will move to encrypt your environment and disrupt critical infrastructure. This integration provide early visibility into these attacks, enabling investigation of suspicious activity and minimizing operational downtime. Consistent and effective backups ensure data availability for seamless recovery, supporting ongoing business continuity.
Backups are crucial to comply with various data protection regulations, such as PCI-DSS and HIPAA. This integration allows the monitoring of security events in real time and ensure forensic details are accessible in case of a cyber incident. Sophos can help implement effective mitigation strategies, reducing the risk of expensive cyber insurance claims.
