Default protection plans

Three preconfigured plans, available by default, ensure quick protection for specific workloads:

  • Office workers (Acronis Antivirus)

    This plan is optimized for users working in the office and having a preference to use the Acronis antivirus software.

  • Office workers (third-party Antivirus)

    This plan is optimized for users working in the office and having a preference to use a third-party antivirus software. The main difference is that this plan has the Antivirus and Antimalware protection module and Active Protection disabled.

  • Remote workers

    This plan is optimized specifically for users working remotely. It has more frequent tasks (such as backup, antimalware protection, vulnerability assessment), stricter protection actions, and optimized performance and power options.

To apply a default protection plan

  1. In the service console, go to Devices > All devices.
  2. Select the machines that you want to protect.
  3. Click Protect.

  4. Select one of the default plans, and then click Apply.

    You can also configure your own protection plan by clicking Create plan.

To modify an applied default protection plan

  1. In the service console, go to Plans > Protection.
  2. Select the plan that you want to modify, and then click Edit.

  3. Modify the modules that are included in this plan, or their options, and then click Save.

    Some settings cannot be changed for an existing protection plan.
