Comprehensive Cyber Protection from Acronis provides businesses with reliable backup, security and support for both legacy and next-generation infrastructures
Acronis, global leader in the cybersecurity and in the data protection, introduces Acronis Cyber Protect Local, a solution that delivers natively integrated digital resilience for operational technology (OT) and air-gapped IT environments on-premises and sovereign private clouds. Designed for organizations where cloud deployment is not an option, the solution integrates efficient backup, rapid recovery, cybersecurity and endpoint management into a single platform, driving IT and OT operational agility, compliance and resilience, with a significant reduction in cost and complexity.
Building on Acronis' proven expertise in Cyber Protection, Acronis Cyber Protect Local keeps data safe within the corporate perimeter, ensuring full sovereignty and regulatory compliance. The solution supports legacy systems and modern hypervisors, including Windows XP, OT/ICS environments, Nutanix, Proxmox, VMware and Hyper-V, ensuring comprehensive protection for mixed infrastructures. Customers benefit from robust backwards compatibility, one-click self-service restore functionality, and workload portability across virtual and hyperconverged environments.
Users benefit from natively integrated security and endpoint management, with automatic detection of unmanaged devices via Device Sense™, which reduces tooling complexity and improves operational efficiency. Physical to Virtual (P2V), Virtual to Virtual (V2V), and cross-platform recovery capabilities are simplified and do not require separate agent installations, allowing seamless migration of workloads without compromising protection.
“Despite the growing adoption of cloud-based applications, many critical infrastructures still require on-premises deployment and protection,” said Gaidar Magdanurov, President of Acronis. "Systems that ensure access to water resources, the electricity grid and healthcare services, technologies and transportation remain vulnerable to cyber attacks because they rely on obsolete software and hardware. In 2025, more than 50% of organizations with OT systems have suffered at least one cybersecurity incident. Acronis Cyber Protect Local brings the efficiency and innovation of our proven Cyber Protection cloud platform directly on-premises, where it operates on a dedicated management server within the customer's network, in compliance with the most stringent data security and location requirements.”
By bringing together multiple tools into a single platform, Acronis Cyber Protect Local reduces complexity and significantly increases the productivity of IT professionals, improving operational efficiency and reducing the cost of ownership. AI-powered automation capabilities, anomaly detection, self-service recovery, cross-platform migration, and SIEM integration enable both advanced and non-expert users to quickly respond to threats and disruptions.
Main features of the solution:
– Unified digital resilience: backup, recovery, cybersecurity and endpoint management from a single console with a single agent
– Data sovereignty: management and data remain within the company perimeter to ensure compliance
– Full workload support: offers coverage for legacy operating systems, OT/ICS systems and the latest virtual platforms, for total protection of hybrid and mixed environments

Acronis Cyber Protect Local provides businesses with proactive, active and reactive layers of defense, specifically designed for environments where cloud connectivity is limited or prohibited. This local-centric innovation extends the reach of Acronis Cyber Protection technology to enterprises, industrial sites and multi-site organizations that require secure, unconnected deployment options.
