Secure Your Data Offline with Acronis Cyber Protect Local

For organizations where cloud deployment is not feasible, Acronis Cyber Protect Local provides a robust, all-in-one cyber resilience platform designed for on-premises, sovereign private cloud, and air-gapped IT and OT environments. This integrated solution merges data backup, system recovery, cybersecurity, and endpoint management into a single, streamlined platform. It enables agile and compliant IT and OT operations while simultaneously cutting costs and reducing operational complexity.

The platform ensures that all data remains securely within the customer’s own perimeter, guaranteeing full data sovereignty and regulatory compliance. It offers extensive support for both legacy systems and modern hypervisors, including Windows XP, OT/ICS environments, Nutanix, Proxmox, VMware, and Hyper-V. This broad compatibility ensures complete protection across mixed and hybrid infrastructures. Users benefit from strong backward compatibility, one-click self-service recovery, and enhanced workload portability for virtual and hyper-converged environments.

Natively integrated endpoint security and management features are also included, with automated discovery of unmanaged devices through Device Sense. This capability helps lower tooling complexity and boosts operational efficiency. Processes like P2V, V2V, and cross-platform recovery are greatly simplified, requiring no separate agent installations. This allows businesses to migrate workloads smoothly while keeping protection intact.

Gaidar Magdanurov, President at Acronis, emphasized the importance of such solutions, stating that critical infrastructure, including systems for water, electricity, technology, healthcare, and transportation, often cannot rely on the cloud. These systems are frequent targets for cyberattacks due to their dependence on outdated software and hardware. He noted that in 2025, more than half of OT organizations reported at least one cybersecurity incident. Acronis Cyber Protect Local brings the trusted capabilities of their cloud cyber protection platform directly on-premises, operating on a dedicated management server within the customer’s internal network to meet strict security and data location mandates.

By consolidating multiple tools into one unified platform, Acronis Cyber Protect Local reduces complexity, improves IT team productivity, and enhances operational efficiency, all while lowering the total cost of ownership. The platform leverages AI-driven automation, anomaly detection, self-service recovery, cross-platform migration, and SIEM integration, enabling both IT and non-IT personnel to respond effectively to threats and operational disruptions.

Key features of the solution include:

• Unified cyber resilience: Backup, recovery, cybersecurity, and endpoint management are unified under a single agent and a single management console.

• Data sovereignty: All management functions and data remain inside the customer’s perimeter, ensuring compliance with data protection regulations.

• Comprehensive workload support: Protection extends to legacy operating systems, OT/ICS, and modern virtualization platforms, delivering complete coverage across hybrid and mixed environments.

• AI-driven automation: Management tasks, anomaly detection, and remediation processes are streamlined through artificial intelligence.

• Self-service recovery: Users can independently recover data and systems, which strengthens organizational resilience.

• Cross-platform agility: Enables smooth migration and recovery across a wide range of different environments.With Acronis Cyber Protect Local, organizations obtain proactive, active, and reactive defense layers specifically engineered for settings with limited or prohibited cloud connectivity. This local-first approach extends Acronis’s global cyber protection expertise to enterprises, industrial organizations, and multi-site entities that require secure, disconnected deployment options.
