Except normal risk of accidental removal of data or a hardware failure, the house systems even more often are exposed to the attacks of difficult cyberthreats. Experts announce the 400 percent growth of number of cyber attacks since many began to work or study from the house. Hackers know that home computers are usually protected worse than office. Backup without cyber defense in such situation is not enough, as well as protection against viruses without copying. Sergey Belousov, the founder and the CEO of Acronis company told

Having integrated the technology of fight against the malware having the certificate of VB100 into the product, the Acronis company proposed the single solution aimed at all range of modern threats.

For August, 2020 cybercriminals constantly improve methods of the attack on these data; that is why in reports of such independent research organizations as AV-Test, is announced detection of more than 350 thousand updated versions of the malware in day.

Often as the purpose of such attacks criminals select programs and files of backup not to allow to recover data therefore copying in itself does not give to users of sufficient protection any more. As well traditional solutions for cyber security do not provide data protection and their recovery after the attack.

In the version of Acronis True Image 2021 the technology of fight against the malware which is already used in the solution for service providers of Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is used. According to such independent laboratories of security as Virus Bulletin and AV-Test, this complex technology provides identification of threats without false positive results.

Expansion of functions on fight against the malware does not reduce a possibility of Acronis True Image on backup, such risks as failures of disks, accidental removal of data, loss and theft of devices, do not disappear anywhere.

In upgraded version these opportunities underwent a number of the improvements allowing the user to have always a possibility of data recovery and a system. Here belong:
