The Service Provider of the Year award was presented to MEO Empresas by the CEO of Acronis, Ezequiel Steiner, on October 8th, at the Acronis Partners Day event, where speakers from the sector shared their knowledge on cybersecurity and digital transformation.
In partnership with Acronis, a Swiss technology company founded in Singapore and a leading international player in the areas of Backup and Cybersecurity, MEO Empresas has developed Cloud Security solutions that allow all companies, in any sector of activity, to combine backup, recovery, cybersecurity, information sharing and synchronization services in an integrated solution. Through a single service portal, MEO Empresas customers can ensure the backup and protection of equipment, whether PCs, mobile equipment or physical and virtual servers, as well as more than 20 different platforms such as Microsoft 365, Microsoft SQL, Windows, Google and SAP, among others.
The simplicity, comprehensiveness and relevance of the Cloud Security Pack solution are the key ingredients for the success of the service provided to SMEs. The Cloud Security solution provides MEO Empresas customers with advanced capabilities, for example, in terms of Email Security, with anti-spam, anti-phishing and intelligent threat detection in real time; data loss prevention to control the exchange of information from protected equipment and peripherals, such as printers or external disks; or even endpoint detection and response which, in the event of a cyber-attack, allows for its rapid detection, reaction, monitoring and correction until final mitigation.
All configuration and management can be carried out by the company itself, via the service portal, or by MEO Empresas' certified Acronis technology specialists. Paulo Rego, Product and Pre-Sales Director at MEO Empresas, says that "concern for the security of data, equipment and applications is now mandatory in all companies, but we know that Portuguese SMEs can find it difficult to support and manage multiple tools. The solutions we have developed with Acronis democratize access to advanced backup and cybersecurity features. This is reflected in the great adoption of these solutions by MEO Empresas customers, a determining factor in our receiving this award from Acronis, of which MEO Empresas is very proud."
Denis Cassinerio, Senior Director and General Manager South EMEA says, "We are thrilled to recognize MEO Empresas as our Service Provider of the Year in Southern Europe. Their dedication to integrating Acronis' comprehensive cybersecurity and backup solutions has truly set a benchmark in the region. As cyber threats continue to evolve, their approach ensures that businesses of all sizes have access to the highest level of data protection.
We are proud to partner with MEO Empresas, whose commitment to protecting its customers' digital assets aligns perfectly with Acronis' vision of safeguarding the future, says Denis Cassinerio, Senior Director and Managing Director Italy, Iberia, Balkans, Turkey, Eastern Europe, Middle East at Acronis." With cybersecurity and the cloud increasingly seen as strategic, MEO Empresas has been strengthening its partnership with Acronis in an increasingly diversified and innovative offer of services and solutions in these areas. This recognition reinforces MEO Empresas' position as a benchmark provider of security services in the business segment, demonstrating its know-how, experience and international recognition as a partner of excellence.
