IT teams are undergoing constant (and increasingly rapid) change. Between ever-increasing regulations, changing vendors, costs rising without warning and the hybrid cloud becoming more complex, one thing is clear: today, being resilient is not just a matter of having backups or good cybersecurity. It's about adapting fast.
And that's exactly what the new version of Acronis Cyber Protect brings. This update doesn't just add new features like email archiving for Microsoft 365, agentless backup for Nutanix, EDR for Linux and many more... it's much more than just an update.
It's a real response to what's happening in the IT world. Where the rules are constantly changing, recovering from an incident can be very expensive and the infrastructure is more varied (and sometimes more chaotic). What IT teams need now is: less friction, more automation and, above all, more clarity. Learn how the new version of Acronis Cyber Protect can help you build a modern, adaptive cyber defense that's ready for whatever comes next.
New capabilities in Acronis Cyber Protect
- Agentless backup for Nutanix virtual machines: Do you have virtual machines on Nutanix? Good news: you can now backup without installing an agent, with flexible cloud storage and cross-platform recovery. You can even migrate to VMware if you need to. It's an ideal solution for hybrid and ever-changing environments.
- Email archiving for Microsoft 365: Now you can archive Microsoft 365 emails easily, quickly and securely. Thanks to super-powerful search and immediate access, complying with regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA or NIS 2 is much easier. Ideal for legal or compliance teams who don't want to waste time.
- Disaster recovery with clear pricing: Now you only pay per workload, with no extra charges for storage or backup files. Everything is included: processing and space. It's that simple.
- Modular agent installation: The new agent is like a tailored suit. You can install only what you need. Don't need active protection on that device? No problem, you just don't activate it. Perfect for lighter configurations that only require backups.
- Faster and automatic recovery: A great feature: when you recover a machine, it can automatically reconnect to the domain, without you having to do it manually. This reduces work and speeds up the recovery process tremendously.
- Easier to understand licenses: Everything is now clearer: new licenses for Microsoft 365 and disaster recovery make it easier to buy, manage and renew. Plus, licenses are now aligned so everything expires at the same time - no more messy expirations!
- EDR protection for Linux and more support: Yes, finally: Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) now also for Linux. In addition, support for more operating systems has been expanded. That means Acronis can protect even more environments, no matter which OS you use.
How do Acronis Cyber Protect's new features help businesses meet today's challenges?
The new version of Acronis Cyber Protect is not just a technical enhancement. It's a real response to the challenges organizations face in an ever-changing IT environment. From compliance to disaster recovery, Acronis is simplifying what used to be complicated.
Compliance
Regulations are coming thick and fast (GDPR, HIPAA, NIS 2) and now so are the requirements of cyber insurers. Today, proving that you have your data under control is no longer optional.
That's what Acronis Email Archiving for Microsoft 365 is for. What does it do? It lets you save and search emails quickly, securely and without relying on external tools. Everything is integrated. So compliance becomes manageable, without becoming a headache.
Migration of virtual machines
More and more companies are migrating away from VMware, especially after the Broadcom acquisition and pricing changes. Many are moving to Nutanix, and Acronis saw it coming.
So now you can do agentless Nutanix backups and restore your workloads where you need to, even back to VMware if you choose. The result? More mobility and flexibility, with no strings attached and no technical hassles. Because if your infrastructure changes, your protection should keep pace without hassle.
Disaster recovery
Disaster recovery shouldn't cost a fortune. But with so many hidden pricing models (per GB, per compute, per storage...), it often does. Acronis made it simple: fixed pay-per-workload, no fine print or unexpected costs. Clear, predictable pricing. At critical times, having that clarity is not only convenient, it's reassuring.
Tailored inst
Not all devices need the same thing. With the new modular installation, you can implement only what you need. For example, you can omit active protection if you only want backups in lightweight environments or isolated systems such as operational technology (OT). It's not overkill. It's smart customization.
Faster recovery, fewer steps
When you need to recover a system, time matters. And any extra steps can be frustrating. With this new version, restored machines can automatically return to your domain, without manual configurations or reauthentications. It's a much faster and smoother way to get back in action. Because it's not just about fast backups, it's about recovering fast too.
Simpler licensing
No one likes to deal with convoluted licensing systems. Acronis understood this and simplified everything: now you can align all your licenses to expire at the same time (co-termination) and manage fewer SKUs, especially for Microsoft 365 and disaster recovery. The real benefit? Less paperwork, fewer surprises, and more time for what matters.
Real protection for Linux too
Many security solutions treat Linux like it doesn't matter. Acronis does the opposite. The new version includes full support for EDR on Linux, which means you can now protect your mixed environment (Windows, Mac, Linux) from a single platform, with no weak spots or makeshift patches. Because threats don't stop to ask which operating system you use. And now, neither does your protection.
A single platform. Maximum peace of mind
The IT world changes all the time (and often without warning). That's why you need a solution that keeps up, that evolves with you. The new Acronis Cyber Protect upgrade doesn't just adapt: it makes it easy. That's what really makes the difference:
- Compliance you can demonstrate with confidence.
- Migrations without headaches or roadblocks
- Disaster recovery with no surprise costs
- Lightweight, yet powerful protection
- Fast restore that saves you time (and stress)
- Clear licensing, no hassle, no fine print
- EDR that also protects your Linux systems
In such a dynamic environment, resilience is not just about withstanding the shock, it's about being able to adapt quickly. And that's just what Acronis Cyber Protect does for you.
