Backup plus cyber protection — anti-malware, EDR and patching — in one console.

What it is
Acronis Cyber Protect combines backup with cyber protection — antivirus, EDR, anti-ransomware and vulnerability management — in a single console. It manages protection of servers, workstations, VMs and Microsoft 365 with fast recovery and DR.
Problems it solves
- You would rather run backup and endpoint security from one agent than stitch two products together.
- Recovering from ransomware needs clean backups plus active anti-ransomware, not one or the other.
- A mixed fleet — servers, laptops, VMs, Microsoft 365 — needs one protection console.
How administrators use it
- Deploy a single agent that handles backup, anti-malware and patching.
- Restore whole machines to dissimilar hardware or to the cloud for disaster recovery.
- Manage protection of workstations, servers, VMs and M365 from the web console.
Strengths & trade-offs
Strengths
- Backup, security and patching unified in one product.
- Flexible targets: local, cloud or hybrid.
- Broad OS and workload coverage.
Trade-offs
- Proprietary, with per-workload pricing.
- The all-in-one scope is more than a pure-backup shop needs.
Questions
Is this antivirus or backup?
Both — it integrates data protection (backup/recovery) with cyber protection (anti-malware, EDR, anti-ransomware, patching).
Can it do bare-metal recovery?
Yes, including restore to different hardware or to a cloud instance.
