Acronis cyber protection software

Acronis is a global leader in the cybersecurity and data protection market, recognized for its innovative integration of backup, disaster recovery, and endpoint management. Founded in 2003 in Singapore, the company originally established itself with the 'AnyData' engine and its flagship product, Acronis True Image. Over the years, it shifted its operations to Switzerland, incorporating Acronis International GmbH in 2008 and establishing its international headquarters in Schaffhausen.

The company's development is distributed globally, with major R&D centers located in Bulgaria, the United States, Israel, and Singapore, rather than a single manufacturing site. In late 2024, a major shift in ownership occurred when the Swedish private equity firm EQT entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a majority stake (estimated at over 51%). This transition, finalized in early 2025, moved the company from founder-led control to institutional ownership, positioning it for aggressive global expansion and public-market readiness by 2026.
