ACRONIS TRUE IMAGE 2021 UNITES AWARD-WINNING BACKUP WITH ADVANCED ANTIMALWARE, CREATING THE FIRST COMPLETE PERSONAL CYBER PROTECTION SOLUTION
Integrating real-time antimalware and on-demand
antivirus with its best-of-breed personal backup solution
enables Acronis to deliver unmatched value and
comprehensive protection to users
( AETOSWire) Acronis, a global leader in cyber protection,
today announced the release of Acronis True Image 2021.
The new release integrates advanced cybersecurity
capabilities with the best-of-breed personal backup to
create the first complete personal cyber protection solution
for home users, prosumers, and small businesses around
the world.
Incorporating cybersecurity capabilities such as real-time
antimalware protection, on-demand antivirus scans, web
filtering, and videoconference protection into Acronis True
Image ensures users have complete cyber protection. For
individuals and small business users, unifying these vital
capabilities in one solution makes their protection easier to
manage and more affordable, while greatly improving the
security of their data and devices.
Delivery of this comprehensive solution comes as the
COVID-19 pandemic exposes gaps in traditional solutions
and strategies. Securing home machines has never been
more important, yet a recent Acronis survey found nearly
half (47%) of remote workers never received clear
guidance on working from home.
“As more people work or attend classes from home, the FBI
documents a 400% increase in cyberattacks because
hackers know home systems are not usually as well-
defended as an office,” said Serguei “SB” Beloussov,
founder and CEO of Acronis. “Backup without cybersecurity
is an incomplete option in that situation, as is cybersecurity
without backup. Acronis True Image 2021 delivers the
easy, efficient, and secure cyber protection needed today.”
By integrating the company’s VB100-certified antimalware
technology into its award-winning personal backup
software, Acronis can uniquely offer one solution that
tackles the complete range of modern data loss threats.
Standalone backup and cybersecurity are obsolete
With the modern reliance on everyday devices like
computers, smartphones, and tablets, the data they contain
has an inherent value. Cybercriminals are constantly
evolving their attacks to reach that data, which is why
security research firms such as AV-Test report more than
350,000 new malware threats every day.
Since backup software and files are often the targets of
these new attacks to prevent recovery, backup alone no
longer provides suitable protection for users. Similarly,
conventional cybersecurity solutions do not provide the
data protection and recovery capabilities users need
following an attack.
Relying on multiple products that were not designed to
work together creates security gaps, is more complex to
manage, and is more costly.
As a single, integrated solution, Acronis True Image 2021
closes those gaps, making protection and security more
effective, easier to manage, and more affordable. Users
have authentic, unaltered data that’s free of malware for
safe recoveries. They can proactively stop any malware
attack and then quickly restore affected files. The single,
intuitive interface reduces the complexity of managing
their security and backups.
Integration delivers superior cyber protection
For the last few years, Acronis True Image has been the
only personal backup solution with a built-in
antiransomware that stops attacks in real-time, while
automatically restoring any affected files.
With the launch of Acronis True Image 2021, those
capabilities are expanded with the addition of the
company’s advanced antimalware technology, which is
currently deployed in Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud. This
next-gen, full-stack antimalware has been shown by
independent security labs such as Virus Bulletin and AV-
Test to return a 100% detection rate with zero false-
positives.
As a result, home users gain advanced capabilities with
Acronis True Image 2021, including:
Real-time protection, driven by AI-enhanced behavioral
heuristics, which stops all malware – including zero-day
attacks by never-before-seen threats
On-demand antivirus scans of the full system or quick scans
of at-risk files, either of which can be scheduled in advance
or run instantly
Web filtering that automatically blocks Windows users from
accessing malicious websites that harbor malware,
disinformation, scams, and phishing attacks
Videoconference protection prevent hackers and malware
injection attacks from exploiting popular apps like Zoom,
Cisco Webex, and Microsoft Teams
Comprehensive detection, with both behavioral analysis
and signature-based analysis engines
These advanced antimalware capabilities are included with
Advanced and Premium licenses, and offered as a three-
month trial with Standard and Essential licenses.
Acronis True Image 2021 gives individuals and small
businesses access to the same protection technologies
relied on by global companies and top teams in the world’s
most high-pressure professional sports.
“Cyber protection is a top priority for Rahal Letterman
Lanigan Racing,” explains Bobby Rahal, co-owner of Rahal
Letterman Lanigan Racing. “For the past two years, we
have relied on Acronis to protect our data and workloads
with the latest cyber protection solutions. When our races
were on pause, Acronis continued to provide protection for
our team working remotely. Now, with Acronis True Image,
everyone can safeguard their personal data against the
worst-case scenario.”
Reliable as ever
The expansion of the built-in antimalware does not come at
the expense of Acronis True Image’s backup capabilities,
since risks such as disk failures, accidental deletions, and
lost or stolen devices continue.
The new release features several enhancements, including:
Resumable replication of backups. If a disconnection
happens while data is being replicated in the cloud, the
process resumes from the point of the interruption to avoid
duplicating of previously replicated data.
Quicker backup validation. Users can now choose to
validate the latest version for their backup only, which
significantly speeds up the standard process for validating
the effectiveness of backups.
Greater VM options. Users now have the ability for .tibx
archives to be mounted, moved, renamed, and converted to
the .vhd format – enabling them to be run as virtual
machines.
Pricing and availability
Four versions of Acronis True Image are available:
Standard, Essential, Advanced and Premium. One-computer
licenses starting at $59.99 for Standard and $49.99 for
Essential. Special launch prices for Advanced and Premium
licenses (starting at $69.99 and $99.99, respectively) are
available until November 2020, at which time the full MSRP
will be in effect (starting at $89.99 and $124.99,
respectively).
