SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Acronis, a global leader in†cyber protection, today announced a $10 million investment in the company’s service provider incentive program. This incentive program is made possible by a recent†$147 million investment by Goldman Sachs†that was announced by Acronis on September 18. That investment will help, in part, fast-track the development of products such as the Acronis Cyber Platform, which enables third-parties to customize, extend and integrate the company’s cyber protection solutions to meet the needs of their customers and partners.
