Acronis Cyber Protect unifies backup, AI-based anti-malware, ransomware protection, and endpoint management into one integrated platform.
Acronis Cyber Protect is built around a single premise: backup and cybersecurity work better as one integrated system than as two separate tools bolted together. It combines backup and disaster recovery with AI-based anti-malware, anti-ransomware, and endpoint protection management under one agent and one console.
Acronis, the company behind the product, was founded in 2003 and is headquartered in Schaffhausen, Switzerland. It has grown from a disk-imaging and backup vendor into a broader cyber protection company, launching the unified Cyber Protect platform in 2020.
An AI-based behavioral detection engine monitors system activity across a large set of behavioral indicators to catch malware, ransomware, and zero-day attacks before they cause damage. Its Active Protection engine can block file encryption attempts in real time and automatically restore any affected files from a clean backup snapshot — tying detection directly into recovery.
On the backup side, the platform supports full-image and file-level backup and recovery across 30+ platforms and more than 20 workload types, with hybrid storage options and incremental/differential backup strategies aimed at near-zero recovery point and recovery time objectives.
Endpoint management tools round out the platform: asset discovery, vulnerability assessment and patch management, remote monitoring, and script-based task automation, all from the same console used for backup and security.
Acronis offers Cyber Protect in multiple editions. The Standard edition targets SMBs that need reliable backup plus core cybersecurity capabilities such as URL filtering and continuous data protection. The Advanced edition adds capabilities aimed at larger, more complex environments, including support for additional workload types, backup notarization, malware scanning of backups, and security posture assessment.
Acronis does not publish flat self-serve pricing for Cyber Protect on its site; pricing depends on deployment model, workload count, and edition, and is generally obtained via a partner or sales quote.
