Cyber protection
The need for both effective data protection and cybersecurity has become dominant in daily life. Businesses rely on the continuous availability and integrity of their data, while individuals around the world send and receive large volumes of sensitive information over remote connections. Cybercriminals, in response, have stepped up the scale and complexity of their attacks – and with advances in the automation of these threats, no one is ‘too small to target.’

Recognizing the evolving challenges of data protection, the company has been advancing its solutions since 2017 to meet the latest challenges. When ransomware threats began targeting file backups directly, it became a first to integrate anti-ransomware defenses into a personal backup solution. In 2021, it continued to expand its cybersecurity focus, adding capabilities that include threat-agnostic anti-malware, cryptojacking protection, and web filtering. The solution evolved fro, backup one to a complete personal cyber protection solution, safeguarding not only backups but devices as well.

The company’ success with these efforts has not gone unnoticed, earning Editor’s Choice awards from both PCWorld and PCMag. PCWorld called it “an all-encompassing tragedy-prevention solution.” When evaluated by independent security research lab AV-TEST, the integration of data backup and advanced cybersecurity successfully detected and blocked 100% of cyberattacks.

Cyber Protect Home Office (formerly True Image) incorporates a number of capabilities to counter cyberthreats and ensure complete data protection. The integration of cybersecurity and backup into a single solution not only makes protection simpler and affordable, but also delivers advanced capabilities that standalone solutions cannot – such as the automatic restoration of any data damaged during a ransomware attack.

Its anti-malware is proven to detect and stop the latest cyberthreats in real-time, including zero-day attacks never been seen before. Protection is extended across popular software, including videoconferencing applications like Zoom and Microsoft Teams, preventing attackers from accessing data in-transit.

“The past two years have changed the industry landscape for good, no user is too small to be targeted anymore,” said Candid Wuest, VP, cyber protection research. “The unique quality of our corporate solutions is the integrated cyber protection – combining cybersecurity and backup is the only way to keep your critical data truly protected. Now we offer Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office – to protect every individual and home office, and keep the world going despite the challenges of the remote work and distributed IT infrastructure.“
