Acronis has introduced Acronis GenAI Protection, a new solution designed to help managed service providers (MSPs) monitor, control, and secure generative AI usage across client environments as adoption accelerates globally.
The offering, part of the broader Acronis Cyber Workspace initiative, addresses growing enterprise concerns around data leakage, shadow AI usage, and malicious prompt manipulation. It is purpose-built for MSPs, enabling them to deliver AI security as a managed service while maintaining centralized visibility and governance.
Acronis GenAI Protection integrates directly into the company’s platform, allowing service providers to oversee AI usage through a single console. This includes enforcing policies, generating reports, and mitigating risks associated with generative AI interactions across endpoints, applications, and data environments.

According to Gaidar Magdanurov, the rapid adoption of AI tools has created new security challenges that many organizations are not fully equipped to manage, positioning MSPs as critical enablers of secure AI deployment.
Key features of the solution include visibility into shadow AI applications, inspection of prompts to prevent exposure of sensitive data such as personal or healthcare information, and protection against prompt injection attacks that could compromise workflows or manipulate AI outputs.
Industry analysts highlight that as AI becomes mainstream among small and medium-sized businesses, often through SaaS and consumer tools, the need for structured oversight and governance is increasing.
With Acronis GenAI Protection now generally available, the company aims to help MSPs expand their service portfolios while enabling businesses to adopt AI technologies securely, balancing innovation with risk management in an evolving threat landscape.
