The partnership intensifies focus on EDR/XDR and M365 protection needs of local MSPs
PRAGUE, 24 April 2025 – Acronis, a global leader in cybersecurity and data protection and the ZEBRA SYSTEMS, the leading VAD distributor in data protection, cybersecurity and cloud infrastructure, are announcing the expansion of their partnership across Central and Europe (CEE). The partnership extends the strategic focus on EDR/XDR security and Microsoft 365 data protection.
As part of the expansion, ZEBRA SYSTEMS is growing its distribution partnership with Acronis to deliver comprehensive, natively integrated cybersecurity, data protection, and endpoint management solutions to managed service providers (MSPs), small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), and enterprise IT departments. The partnership covers Czechia, Slovakia and South-East Europe including Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and other Adriatics countries.
The intensified cooperation between the two companies follows the recent Acronis announcements including availability of Acronis Advanced Security + Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) for Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, introduction of Acronis Advanced Security + XDR, the addition to the company’s security solution portfolio, and the launch of Acronis Ultimate 365, a comprehensive Microsoft 365 protection solution for managed service providers (MSPs). The new functionality provides ZEBRA SYSTEMS with powerful tools to strengthen its position on the regional cyber protection market.
“We are proud to strengthen our long-standing partnership with ZEBRA SYSTEMS as we expand our reach across Central and Eastern Europe,” said Slav Umlenov, Country Manager for Central and Eastern Europe at Acronis. “With the growing demand for integrated cybersecurity and data protection solutions, especially in the areas of EDR/XDR and Microsoft 365 protection, ZEBRA SYSTEMS’ deep expertise and strong regional presence make them an ideal partner to bring Acronis’ cutting-edge technologies to local MSPs and businesses.”
“This is a new era between our companies which brings another momentum and discover more growth potential in the markets with increasing demand for cyber security services,” said Zdeněk Bínek, founder and CEO in ZEBRA SYSTEMS. “But what is more important, the partnerships offers new business opportunities for our partners and even higher level of cyber protection for the end customers using Acronis technology.”
ZEBRA SYSTEMS teamed-up with Acronis in 2003 to start distribution of Acronis True Image, becoming one of the first partner of the newly established vendor. Since then, ZEBRA SYSTEMS has evolved as the leading Acronis VAD distributor in Central and Eastern Europe, receiving recognition from local resellers and a number of awards, including The Best Business Software award for Acronis from the Channelworld magazine. The extended partnership is a further step in the long and fruitful collaboration.
