Who leads security at Acronis

What the company sells

Acronis sells Acronis Cyber Platform, one platform to protect, manage and automate IT with AI agents and human-in-the-loop. Backup is built into Acronis Cyber Platform and covers workloads from servers, virtual machines and endpoints to databases and cloud applications. Backup is one capability of Acronis Cyber Platform, and on supported endpoints the same Acronis agent connects backup with cybersecurity and endpoint management. Acronis Cyber Platform was formerly called Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud.

Acronis Cyber Platform has a common data model shared across all products, for AI agents and technicians. In Acronis Cyber Platform, every service writes to the same data model, so agents act with full context across backup, security and operations. Each agent in Acronis Cyber Platform runs with least-privilege access and policy guardrails, and the customer defines what it can read, change and act on per tenant. Acronis delivers secure AI adoption as a managed service that monitors GenAI usage across clients, blocks sensitive data from reaching public AI tools and stops harmful prompts.

Acronis backup covers Windows and Linux servers and Windows, macOS and Linux endpoints, with file-level or image-based protection to match the workload. Acronis backup protects VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV and supported cloud VMs, with agentless backup where supported and agent-based protection for supported guest systems. Acronis backup protects Microsoft SQL Server, Exchange and Oracle databases with application-aware backup and recovery options. Acronis protects Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and Microsoft Entra ID data, and recovers business content and supported identity objects after deletion or unwanted changes. Acronis backs up Microsoft Entra ID users, groups, roles, policies and configurations.

Acronis Instant Restore runs supported VMware or Hyper-V virtual machines directly from eligible backups, so users can regain access while full recovery continues. Continuous Data Protection captures changes to selected files and application data on supported Windows systems between scheduled backups. Anti-malware scanning in Acronis checks supported backups for malicious content. Acronis supports immutable storage on supported cloud destinations to retain protected backup copies for the configured period. Acronis protects data with AES-256 encryption in storage and in transit.

Acronis backup destinations include local storage, Acronis Cloud, partner-hosted storage and supported public cloud destinations, including Amazon S3 and Microsoft Azure. Acronis offers a global network of 50+ data centers, and available locations and services depend on the deployment. Acronis data centers are Tier-IV designed and have certifications including SSAE-18, HIPAA and PCI DSS. Acronis backup plans, alerts and reports are managed in one console, with customer-specific policies and retention applied across multiple tenants. Acronis lets customers add EDR, RMM and disaster recovery to link threat response, patching and recovery without deploying separate agents for each endpoint service.

Acronis lets customers run critical systems in Acronis Cloud when an outage or attack takes production offline. Acronis fails over critical servers to Acronis Cloud while the original environment is repaired. Acronis runbooks have ordered steps, parallel actions and completion checks, and the plan is executed from the console when recovery is needed. Acronis runs test failovers in an isolated environment without interrupting production, and automated tests can be scheduled weekly or monthly with screenshot analysis and reported results. Acronis combines disaster recovery with Acronis backup scanning to identify recovery points with detected malware before a point is selected for failover. When production is ready, Acronis uses incremental failback to transfer changed data while the cloud workload continues running. Acronis supports site-to-site VPN, point-to-site access and multisite IPsec connections for recovery across locations.

Acronis Cyber Protect offers secure backup and cybersecurity for SMBs, Enterprises, and OT. Acronis provides a single agent and unified console with tools for asset discovery, vulnerability patching, remote monitoring and automated task execution via scripts. Acronis provides SaaS email archiving for Microsoft 365. Acronis Cyber Protect Local enables deployment of a dedicated management server on premises with local-only or hybrid cloud storage. Acronis describes protecting critical data and always-on infrastructure in air-gapped onshore and offshore production facilities.

Acronis offers three licensing models, chosen for each customer tenant. Each customer tenant can use only one licensing model at a time, and different models can be chosen for different customers. Acronis uses a minimum monthly commitment model, and a commitment tier is selected as part of the agreement. Acronis licenses backup either at a fixed monthly price per protected workload or based on the total amount of storage used. Each service in Acronis Cyber Platform is licensed per device, per user or based on storage consumption. Copia Automation backs up, versions and restores the control programs on PLCs, HMIs and robots, and Acronis restores the servers and workstations while Copia restores the controller code.^{[1][3][4][6][7][8][10][13][14][15][16][17][18]}
