Acronis launches Cyber Protect Local for superior IT security

Acronis, a global leader in cybersecurity and data protection, presents Acronis Cyber Protect Local, a new solution that delivers integrated cyber resilience for local, sovereign and air-gapped IT and OT environments.

The new platform is developed for organizations where cloud-based operations are not possible or desirable – for example in the public sector, energy, healthcare, industry and transportation – and combines backup, recovery, cybersecurity and endpoint management in a single platform. The result is a safer, more efficient and cost-saving operation that provides total control over data and infrastructure without compromising data locality, privacy or compliance.

Full control and data sovereignty

Cyber Protect Local is based on Acronis proven technology in cyber protection and ensures that all data remains within the customer's own borders, providing complete data sovereignty and security.

The solution supports both legacy and modern environments – from Windows XP and OT/ICS to Nutanix, Proxmox, VMware and Hyper-V – and offers strong backward compatibility, central management and self-service reset. This enables organizations to maintain continuity and compliance even in complex, mixed IT environments.

With Cyber Protect Local, data and systems can be restored quickly in the event of incidents or operational disruptions, reducing downtime and strengthening the business's resilience to both cyber threats and technical failures.

Built-in security and efficient management

The solution includes advanced endpoint security with automatic identification of unregistered devices via Device Sense™. This feature reduces tool complexity and improves operational control, especially in environments with many different systems and devices.

P2V, V2V, and cross-platform recovery can be performed without separate agent installations, making migration, backup and recovery faster and more reliable.

”Despite the dominance of the cloud today, critical infrastructure still requires local solutions,” says Gaidar Magdanurov, CEO of Acronis.
”Systems responsible for water, electricity, healthcare and transportation often rely on legacy technology and are therefore particularly vulnerable. Over half of all OT organizations reported at least one cyber incident in 2025.
With Cyber Protect Local We bring the proven power of our cloud-based platform to a local level – completely under the customer's own control.”

AI-powered resilience in a single platform

By combining several functions into one unified platform reduces Acronis Cyber Protect Local reduces technical complexity and reduces operation and maintenance costs.

AI-driven automation, anomaly detection, self-service reset, cross-platform migration and SIEM integration enables both IT and OT teams to quickly identify, respond to, and manage incidents.

The built-in AI engine analyzes behavioral patterns and detects anomalies in real-time, providing an extra layer of protection against ransomware, insider threats, and unauthorized access.

Cyber Protect Local also reduces the need for multiple separate security and management tools, making administration easier and freeing up resources for strategic work.
