Acronis Active Protection
Malware attacks and defenses
against them are continually evolving. When the use of backup was proven to be
a reliable defense against ransomware, cyber criminals began developing
ransomware variants that find and attack backup files, too. To answer this new
threat, Acronis enhanced its backup solutions with innovative new
anti-ransomware technology. Introduced in January 2017 in Acronis True Image
2017 New Generation consumer backup, Acronis Active Protection™ actively defends both user
files and their backups by identifying and blocking ransomware attacks in
real-time. Earlier this year, Acronis True Image 2017 New Generation also
received the Gold Self-Protection Award after another independent
test by Anti-Malware Testing Lab recognized the software’s capacity to protect
itself and user backups from ransomware.

“Backup
remains the most effective protection against data loss, however backup alone
is no longer enough. Ransomware criminals are now targeting backups and the
software that creates them. Acronis predicted this and hired security experts
to create a solution to proactively protect our customers, releasing Acronis
Active Protection just in time to protect customers from this damaging cyber
pandemic,” said John Zanni, CMO at Acronis.
