What's new

Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud

Compliance mode for Immutable Storage

Enable compliance mode to ensure that customer backups are not lost and backed-up data can be easily recovered in the case of a malware attack, or accidental or malicious deletion by a rogue administrator. Once enabled, no user can disable immutable storage, including the Acronis Support team.

Backup for Synology NAS

Partners can now use an Acronis agent for Synology (DSM 6.x) for direct backup of NAS data to the Acronis cloud. The usage of this agent makes the prerequisite for a mediating server, between the NAS and Acronis cloud, redundant.

Advanced Data Loss Prevention: File-type based custom sensitive data classifiers

Partners can now set DLP policy rules that can control information flows based on types of transferred files that end-customers consider sensitive.  Custom file type categories may be created by using a combination of custom and built-in file type based detectors. The solution uses binary signature-based detection of 5,500 file types, including embedded files and files in nested archives.

Advanced Disaster Recovery: Automated test failover

Set and schedule automated tests for your end-customer's Disaster Recovery environment. The automated test will recover the servers to an isolated network environment and verify that each server was booted successfully. The partner will receive an alert in case of an unsuccessful boot of a server. The capability enables partners to reduce the cost of achieving compliance, increase server recoverability, and reduce risk of failed recovery.

Advanced Email Security: Partner visibility to protection scope​

Partners can now view a list of email seats that are protected for each end-customer email domain. This will enable a partner to report detailed usage to end-customers and to ensure the proper coverage of the solution.

Advanced Management: New remote desktop and assistance

Partners can now use a single application for seamless remote access and support for Windows, macOS, and Linux workloads, saving the time and cost of traveling or an on-site fix, by using a highly secure NEAR proprietary protocol (RDP ports are not opened). This capability is fully integrated to the Cyber Protection console and at no additional cost to Advanced Management.

Files Sync & Share: Share Files/Folder without download for external users

Users of Acronis Files Cloud can now share confidential documents with external users, without letting external users download the shared document.

Management Portal and Platform Core

In-product maintenance notifications

Notifications about scheduled, ongoing maintenance, or service degradation will appear on the top of Management Console pages.

RMM and PSA integrations

N-able N-sight RMM integration 2.0

Updated integration for N-able N-sight RMM that enables provisioning of all or selected customers from RMM to new customer tenants in Acronis, mapping RMM customers to existing Acronis customers, and configuring the automatic sync of future changes in RMM.
