Nexcess Adds Acronis EDR as Server Security Add-On
Lansing – October 19, 2026 -- Nexcess has made Acronis Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) available from October 19, 2026 as an add-on for any eligible server on its managed cloud platform, bundling real-time threat monitoring into the hosting relationship.
Nexcess targets AI-accelerated attacks with continuous server monitoring
Nexcess argues that artificial intelligence has removed two barriers to sophisticated attacks: the need for deep engineering expertise and months of patient reconnaissance. Acronis EDR is its response, monitoring how programs behave on a server, flagging activity that looks like an attack and keeping a record of what happened.
The company positions EDR as a step beyond antivirus, which blocks known threats. EDR instead monitors activity continuously, identifies suspicious patterns, and contains threats in real time. Customers receive the details and tools to respond.
