How it’s rated
Full scoreboard ↓Quick answer
Acronis Cyber Protect is the self-managed edition of the fusion: backup, AI-based anti-malware, vulnerability assessment, patch management, URL filtering and device control in one agent, on YOUR infrastructure — for enterprises and estates that want the backup-plus-security integration without the MSP-cloud delivery model. It's the True Image heritage grown up: image-based backup (bare-metal, dissimilar-hardware restore) fused with active protection that stops ransomware mid-attack and rolls back what it touched. One agent, one console, your data centre — the integrated protection Cyber Protect Cloud delivers to MSPs, available for organisations to run themselves.

Understand self-managed cyber protection before you buy it
Most product pages skip this. We start here — so you buy a capability, not a buzzword.
What is self-managed cyber protection?
The backup-plus-security fusion, run on your own infrastructure: one agent doing image backup, active anti-ransomware, vulnerability assessment and patching, from a console you operate.
It’s the MSP fusion packaged for organisations that want to run it themselves.
Four separate tools vs one fused agent — the honest table
What consolidation actually replaces, dimension by dimension.
| Dimension | Backup + AV + vuln + patch tools | One self-managed agent (Acronis) |
|---|---|---|
| The stack | Backup + AV + vuln + patch tools | One self-managed agent |
| Ransomware | AV detects, backup restores separately | Active protection stops + rolls back |
| The console count | Four panes to watch | One console you run |
| Hygiene | A separate patch tool | Vuln + patch in the agent |
| Cloud dependency | Send data to a provider | Your infrastructure, your building |
| Hardware failure | Restore to identical kit only | Dissimilar-hardware bare-metal |
| Deployment | Four agents warring | One agent |
| Residency | Cloud-region caveats | On-prem, full stop |
Migration is per-capability — the four-tool stack retires as the one agent takes over each discipline.
The five pieces of the platform
Vendors love diagrams; buyers need to know what they’re actually operating. Here’s the whole platform, demystified.
The One Agent
A single self-managed agent doing image backup AND active anti-malware — the MSP fusion, on your terms.
Backup Engine
Image-based backup with bare-metal and dissimilar-hardware restore — two decades of imaging expertise underneath.
Active Protection
Behavioural ransomware detection that stops the attack mid-encryption AND rolls back the files it managed to touch.
Vuln & Patch
Vulnerability assessment and patch management in the same agent — closing the holes attacks come through.
Your Console
The management console you run, in your data centre — not a provider's multi-tenant cloud.
One agent on every machine, one console over all of them — modules attach without a second operational world.
Twelve capabilities. Backup, secure, harden.
Acronis fuses the three anti-ransomware disciplines — backup, active defence, hygiene — into one self-managed agent.
Image-Based Backup
Full-image, file, application and VM backup — the True Image engineering as the protection floor.
Bare-Metal Restore
Recover a whole system to bare metal — the disaster-recovery capability that saves hardware-failure days.
Dissimilar-Hardware Restore
Restore onto completely different hardware — the flexibility legacy imaging never had.
Active Ransomware Protection
Halts encryption mid-attack AND rolls back the files it touched — stop plus undo, one agent.
AI-Based Anti-Malware
Behavioural, signature-less malware defence in the same agent as the backup.
Forensic Backup
Backups with forensic data for investigation — evidence preserved alongside recovery.
URL Filtering
Malicious-site blocking at the endpoint — a common infection vector, closed.
Device Control
USB and peripheral control — the data-walks-out and malware-walks-in channel, governed.
Vulnerability Assessment
Find the security holes across the estate — the exposure map before the attack.
Patch Management
Close the holes from the same agent — hygiene fused with backup and defence.
Your Console, Your Kit
The full fusion on your own infrastructure — no provider cloud, no multi-tenancy.
Four Tools, One Agent
Backup + AV + vuln + patch that used to be four products — consolidated into one.

Here’s what genuinely sets Cyber Protect apart from the alternatives.
The fusion, self-managed
Everything Cyber Protect Cloud gives MSPs — backup and security in one agent — for the enterprise that wants to run it themselves, on their own infrastructure, without the multi-tenant cloud model.
Active protection stops AND rolls back
Behavioural ransomware defence doesn't just detect — it halts the encryption mid-attack and rolls back the files already touched. The malware stops, the damage undoes, from one agent.
True Image backup, grown up
Two decades of image-based backup — bare-metal recovery, dissimilar-hardware restore, the imaging pedigree that built the company — now fused with modern security. The backup half isn't an afterthought.
Hygiene in the same agent
Vulnerability assessment and patch management fused in — closing the holes attacks come through, from the same console that backs up and defends. The three disciplines that fight ransomware, unified.
Your data, your building
For estates with data-residency mandates or a preference for owned infrastructure — the integrated protection without sending anything to a provider's cloud.
One agent, one console, one vendor
The consolidation case at enterprise scale: backup + AV + vuln + patch that used to be four tools, in one self-managed agent — fewer things to deploy, update and integrate.

Quick poll — what’s driving your evaluation?
Talk to an advisor“Active protection stopped a ransomware run mid-encryption and rolled back the 200 files it had already hit. Watching the damage undo itself sold the whole team.”
“We replaced a backup tool, an AV and a patch manager with one agent. Four consoles became one; the endpoint estate got lighter.”
“Data-residency rules meant we couldn't use a cloud backup service — Cyber Protect gave us the fusion entirely on our own kit.”
“Bare-metal restore to dissimilar hardware saved us during a hardware failure — the True Image DNA is real backup engineering.”
“Vulnerability assessment plus patching in the same agent closed holes we'd have needed a separate tool to even see.”
“It's the self-managed edition — if you want MSP multi-tenancy, that's Cyber Protect Cloud. We wanted our own console; this fit.”
“Support at peak can lag — plan escalations. The integration is why we stay.”
“For the deepest enterprise workload matrix we'd look at Commvault; for the backup+security fusion on our own infrastructure, this won.”

What does the four-tool stack cost you?
Drag the sliders (count protected endpoints; IT-hour cost as loaded rate). Estimates assume ~4 hours per endpoint per year across four-agent management, cross-tool incident hand-offs and multi-console ops, with ~65% removed by one fused agent — the retired licence contracts are the larger, uncounted win. Illustrative.
Loaded cost = salary + overheads per productive hour. Illustrative only — your TechBag quote models actual device counts and modules.

The 8 questions to ask every fusion vendor
Take this into your next vendor call — including ours.
Simulate ransomware and watch active protection halt it AND roll back the touched files — the differentiator, tested.
Restore to dissimilar hardware — the True Image capability that saves hardware-failure days.
List the tools this replaces (backup, AV, vuln scanner, patch manager) — that stack's cost is the case.
Confirm nothing leaves your infrastructure — the reason to choose on-prem over the cloud edition.
Run a vulnerability scan and patch cycle from the same agent — the hygiene layer, in action.
Decide deliberately: MSP multi-tenancy (Cloud) vs your own console (on-prem). They differ.
For an exotic workload tail, compare Commvault/Veeam (hubs live) — Acronis covers the mainstream, not the deepest tail.
Know the escalation route — first-line variance is the honest gripe.
