Case Study: Synapsys achieves unified backup and cybersecurity for MSP partners with Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud

Synapsys sees Cyber Protect Cloud as a Game Changer in its Market

Synapsys, a South African cloud distributor founded in 1997 and the Authorized Acronis Distributor in South Africa and Africa since 2003, faced a gap in its security offerings: many reseller and MSP partners relied on third‑party cybersecurity tools while only offering backup. To address the need for a channel‑friendly, easy‑to‑use security solution and to educate smaller MSPs about the market opportunity, Synapsys turned to Acronis and its Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud.

Acronis delivered Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud — an AI‑enhanced, integrated backup and cybersecurity platform with a single agent, unified portal, protection plans, and threat feeds — enabling Synapsys to offer a complete, easy‑to‑manage security stack to its MSP partners. The solution created a new security revenue stream for partners, simplified onboarding and daily operations, strengthened protection (anti‑malware, continuous data protection, failure detection), and, according to Synapsys, is poised to be a “game changer” for the market.
