Issue 6 2023 Infrastructure, Information Security

Acronis has launched Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office (formerly Acronis True Image). The software offers a comprehensive suite of features that seamlessly integrate secure backup and AI-based security, making it a must-have solution for individuals, families, home office users, and small businesses.

Around 41% of individuals rarely or never back up their data, while 61% report a preference for an integrated solution. The need for robust, less complex, and all-encompassing backup and cyber protection has never been greater in an increasingly interconnected world. Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office is designed to conquer the evolving landscape of cyber threats by integrating Acronis' cyber protection and secure backup solutions. By combining AI-powered defence mechanisms, robust data backup, remote management tools, and mobile device protection, Acronis sets the standard for holistic cyber protection. Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office is the only complete active-security solution that addresses cyber protection needs within a single, easy-to-use, and modern platform.

“With the advancements of AI, cybercriminals and their tactics are evolving,” said Gaidar Magdanurov, President of Acronis. "Today, even those with limited tech expertise can impact a large number of individuals through the use of complex phishing and social engineering attacks. Protecting data, applications, and systems requires a complete cyber protection solution – integrated with security and data backup. We are excited to announce our latest update of Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office, bringing better performance and stronger security to protect individuals’ data, devices, and home offices."
