EDR and MDR for SMBs: enterprise-grade protection without an enterprise SOC

Aug 13, 2026 By Acronis In Acronis
EDR (endpoint detection and response) is no longer an enterprise-only technology. SMBs face many of the same attacker techniques as larger organizations, but generally have fewer security and recovery resources available to contain the impact. Modern EDR platforms, especially when delivered through MDR (managed detection and response) and extended where needed with XDR (extended detection and response), make enterprise-grade protection operationally feasible for MSPs to deliver to SMB clients.

Best AI security tools for small and mid-sized businesses in 2026

Aug 13, 2026 By Acronis In Acronis
The best AI security tools for small and mid-sized businesses do more than detect risky AI use: they show which generative AI tools employees actually use, they let you govern which AI apps are allowed, monitored or blocked, they stop sensitive data from leaving in a prompt, and they defend against harmful prompts, including prompt injection. Most organizations now run AI without that visibility or control. AI use has moved into the mainstream.

Managed EDR and XDR services: how MDR delivers 24/7 protection for MSPs

Aug 12, 2026 By Acronis In Acronis
EDR (endpoint detection and response) and XDR (extended detection and response) are technologies. MDR (managed detection and response) is the managed service that continuously operates them — the 24/7/365 SOC team that monitors, investigates and responds to threats on the client’s behalf, built on top of EDR, XDR, or another detection stack.

How to detect and govern shadow AI in your organization

Aug 12, 2026 By Acronis In Acronis
To detect and govern shadow AI, organizations need to discover which AI tools employees are using, understand who is using them and why, then turn that visibility into an enforceable AI app policy. The goal is not only to find unsanctioned AI use, but to control which GenAI and AI-enabled apps are allowed, blocked or monitored across the organization.

NGAV vs EDR vs XDR vs MDR: how to choose the right detection and response approach

Aug 11, 2026 By Acronis In Acronis
NGAV (next-generation antivirus), EDR (endpoint detection and response), XDR (extended detection and response), and MDR (managed detection and response) are not four separate products bought independently — they are overlapping capabilities and delivery models. NGAV is a prevention capability, normally built into an endpoint protection platform or an EDR solution, that uses AI and behavioral analysis to block known and unknown threats.
