Posted by New Delhi: Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is now available on devices powered by Intel Core Ultra processors. The new partnership between Acronis and Intel brings Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, which is the AI-driven threat detection to Intel powered AI PCs and endpoint devices without slowing them down.
The solution helps managed service providers (MSPs), security firms and enterprise users. It improves speed, reduces system load and offers strong cyber protection.
Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud uses AI to detect threats in real time. It identifies advanced attacks like ransomware, zero-day exploits and fileless malware as traditional tools oftern fail to trace these threats.
The solution runs more efficiently on Intel Core Ultra devices. It uses Intel’s NPU to handle complex AI tasks. These include behavioural analysis and anomaly detection.
Offloading these tasks from the CPU improves performance. Internal tests show a CPU load reduction of up to 92%. This leads to longer battery life and smoother system performance.
Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, a cloud-based platform includes antimalware, email security, data loss prevention and backup tools. It combines these features into one system, reducing the need for multiple products.
The platform also follows NIST cybersecurity guidelines and helps users identify, protect, detect, respond and recover.
“Cyber protection must be natively integrated and AI-powered to address modern cyber threats,” said Gaidar Magdanurov, President – Acronis.
“Our collaboration with Intel empowers MSPs and corporate IT to deliver real-time security at the endpoint with minimal impact to system performance, protecting the productivity of users. Our collaboration with Intel takes the headache out of IT security for users and IT administrators,” added Magdanurov.
“Together Intel and Acronis are delivering fast, AI-powered security right on the device,” said Carla Rodríguez, VP and GM – Client Software Enabling, Intel. “By running complex security tasks on an AI PC with Intel Core Ultra processors, we enable partners like Acronis to deliver breakthrough protection with lower latency and improved performance and privacy.”
Many older security tools fail to detect new threats. They can slow down devices and increase IT support requests. Using separate tools also adds to system complexity. Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud addresses these problems with an integrated, efficient approach. The addition of Intel technology makes it even more powerful.
