Attacks Don't Stay on Endpoints. Neither Should Detection — Acronis XDR by palmiq

Acronis XDR extends detection and response across endpoints, email, identity, and Microsoft 365 — integrated with backup and DR. Managed by palmiq.

What Is Acronis XDR?

Extended Detection and Response (XDR) widens EDR's lens from endpoints to the places modern attacks actually travel: email, identity systems, and Microsoft 365 applications. Instead of four tools with four consoles each seeing a fragment, XDR correlates events across those surfaces into one prioritized picture — then responds across all of them. Acronis XDR is natively integrated with backup, disaster recovery, DLP, and endpoint management, so the response toolkit includes recovery, not just alerts.

Why Acronis XDR

  • The Vulnerable Surfaces, Covered

    Endpoints plus email, identity, and Microsoft 365 apps — the attack chain's favorite path (phish → account takeover → lateral movement) watched end to end.

  • AI-Prioritized, AI-Explained

    A prioritized incident view instead of a flat wall of alerts, with AI-built incident summaries aligned to MITRE ATT&CK and Acronis Copilot for natural-language investigation.

  • Response, Recovery, and Patching Together

    Isolate the threat, recover the damage from integrated backup, and close the gap that let it in — one workflow, not three vendors' ticket queues.

  • An Open Platform

    300+ integrations — SIEM, PSA, RMM — so XDR strengthens the stack you have instead of demanding a rip-and-replace.

How palmiq Delivers It

  1. Scope & Connect

    • Attack-surface review: which endpoints, tenants, mailboxes, and identities feed XDR.
    • Integration with your existing tools where they add signal.
  2. Operate

    • palmiq's 24/7 SOC works the prioritized incident queue — investigation, response, recovery.
    • Automated response actions tuned to your risk tolerance.
  3. Mature

    • Quarterly attack-surface reviews as your environment changes.
    • A roadmap from EDR to XDR to full MDR service as needs grow.

Common questions

EDR vs. XDR — what's the actual difference?

Scope. [EDR](/partners/acronis/edr) watches endpoints. XDR adds email, identity, and Microsoft 365 app telemetry, correlating across them — so a phishing email, the resulting suspicious login, and the malware that follows appear as one incident, not three mysteries.

Do we need a SIEM if we have XDR?

Often no, for mid-sized organizations — XDR's correlation covers the common cases. If you run a SIEM for compliance, Acronis XDR integrates with it rather than replacing it.

Is XDR overkill for a small business?

If you live in Microsoft 365 (most do), your risk already extends past endpoints — that's exactly the XDR surface. The platform pricing makes it an upgrade path, not an enterprise luxury.
