Case Study: Lithium Systems achieves sub‑hour client onboarding and protection for 1,200+ endpoints with Acronis Advanced Email Security

Lithium Systems replaces Microsoft Defender for Office 365 with Acronis Advanced Email Security

Lithium Systems, a Scotland-based managed service provider supporting 1,200+ endpoints, was struggling with siloed backup tools and Microsoft Defender for Office 365, which was difficult to configure and allowed QR-code phishing and other malicious emails to reach clients. Seeking simpler, more reliable protection and faster onboarding, Lithium Systems evaluated and chose Acronis — specifically Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud with Acronis Advanced Email Security — to replace their previous email-security solution and consolidate backup and security management.

Acronis delivered an integrated console that combines backup, cybersecurity and endpoint management, with Advanced Email Security’s multilayer scanning (powered by Perception Point) protecting mail and collaboration apps. As a result, Lithium Systems reduced client deployment, setup and onboarding time to less than one hour, reported fewer false positives and misclassifications, empowered junior technicians to resolve email tickets, and achieved cost savings while protecting over 1,200 endpoints with Acronis.
