Acronis has experienced significant growth in Spain, with an increase of 26% year after year in its turnover and an impressive 384% increase in the adoption of its cybersecurity platform. In addition, the number of active services suppliers has grown by 32%, and cloud billing has increased by 265%. These data reflect the strong adoption of cloud services and market confidence in the company’s solutions.
This has been highlighted today from Acronis Denis Cassinerio, senior Director & General Manager South Emea, and Aitor González, Senior Solutions Engineer Iberia, who have shared relevant data on cybercraft and the growth of the company in Spain. The meeting addressed crucial issues such as NIS2 regulation, the role of AI in cybersecurity and the notable growth of the company in the Spanish market.
Cybersyliencia: an imperative in the digital era
Denis Cassinerio pointed out the importance of cyberbrenciencia in a context of growing cyber threats. «Cybersyliencia is the magical word. This is the real goal for all ». Just as 100% protection is unattainable, so the capacity for recovery against attacks is essential for individuals and companies. The NIS2 regulation, which is aligned with the international legislation requirements for networks, infrastructure and security, was another key point of discussion.
Cassinerio also stressed the transforming role of artificial intelligence in cybersecurity, highlighting how this technology is integrated into acronis protection strategies. “Artificial intelligence is changing cybersecurity,” he said at the same time indicating the broad adoption of the company in the company’s solutions.
Acronis growth in Spain
Acronis is experiencing significant growth in Spain, with an increase of 26% year after year. Cassinerio expressed satisfaction with the results obtained and highlighted the company’s solid strategy with service providers. «We are growing 26% year after year. In Spain we are making an explosion in terms of the number of partners who adopt the solution ».
The growth in the number of customers is also remarkable, with an increase of 60% year after year in Spain, compared to 31% in Europe. “We need to teach our partners how to expand the solution within their customers,” Cassinerio added. The adoption of the Acronis cybersecurity platform in Spain has grown 384% year after year, which reflects market confidence in the company’s protection and detection technologies.
NIST 2 regulation and implementation challenges
For its part, Aitor González addressed the challenges of implementation of NIS2 regulation in different European countries. «NIS2 is imposing very severe rules for everyone. There is consistency ». The regulation expands the affected sectors and demands a proactive management of safety, protection, mandatory training in cybersecurity and continuous monitoring.
Denis Cassinerio highlighted the importance of cyber resilience in a context of growing cyber threats. «Cybersyliencia is the magical word. This is the real objective for all »
González stressed that Italy is leading the adoption of NIS2, while Spain and Portugal face delays. «In Italy we are seriously adopting the implementation of the NIS2. Perception in the market is totally different ». And, regulation requires that digital services providers ensure security within the supply chain, with significant responsibilities and possible sanctions.
Aitor González also mentioned Acronis’s recognition in the G2 report for the quality of his Endpoint selection service. “We have obtained a score of 86, even better than other market solutions.” 99% of users score between 4 and 5 stars, highlighting the quality of the support, vulnerabilities coverage and malware detection.
Market maturity and opportunities for service suppliers
González said that the market is not yet mature so that managed service providers (MSP) offer cybersecurity services, which represents an opportunity for those who wish to join the sector. «The maturity level of service providers is not yet as it should be. This opens a window of opportunity ».
Similarly, the training of the end user in security is crucial to prevent attacks such as phishing. “The end user is the weakest link in the chain and that is where we are going to look for us.” In addition, “companies that do not comply with the NIS2 directive can be penalized with up to 2% of their turnover, creating opportunities for service providers that can offer compliance solutions.”
