Acronis, a global leader in cybersecurity and data protection, has announced the launch of Acronis Cyber Protect Local, a solution delivering natively integrated cyber resilience for on-premises, sovereign private cloud, and air-gapped IT and operational technology (OT) environments. Designed for organisations where cloud deployment is not an option, the solution combines robust backup, rapid recovery, cybersecurity, and endpoint management in a single platform, enabling agile, resilient, and compliant IT and OT operations while reducing costs and operational complexity.
Built on Acronis’ proven cyber protection expertise, Acronis Cyber Protect Local keeps the data securely within the customer’s perimeter, ensuring full data sovereignty and regulatory compliance. The solution supports legacy systems and modern hypervisors including Windows XP, OT/ICS environments, Nutanix, Proxmox, VMware, and Hyper-V to ensure complete coverage across mixed infrastructures. Customers benefit from strong backward compatibility, one-click self-service recovery, and expanded workload portability for virtual and hyper-converged environments.
Users also gain the advantage of natively integrated endpoint security and management, including automated discovery of unmanaged devices via Device Sense™, helping reduce tooling complexity while enhancing operational efficiency. P2V, V2V, and cross-platform recovery are simplified, with no need for separate agent installations, enabling organisations to migrate workloads seamlessly while maintaining protection.
“Despite the broad adoption of cloud-based applications, there is critical infrastructure that requires on-premises deployment and protection,” said Gaidar Magdanurov, President at Acronis. “The systems that ensure we have access to water, electricity, technology, healthcare, and transportation are vulnerable targets for cyberattacks due to their reliance on outdated software and hardware. In 2025, over 50% of OT organisations reported at least one cybersecurity incident. Acronis Cyber Protect Local brings the power and innovation of our trusted cloud cyber protection platform directly on-premises, running on a dedicated management server within the customer’s internal networks to meet strict security and data location requirements.”
By consolidating multiple tools into a single platform, Acronis Cyber Protect Local reduces complexity and significantly improves IT professional productivity while enhancing operational efficiency and reducing the cost of ownership. AI-driven automation, anomaly detection, self-service recovery, cross-platform migration, and SIEM integration enable both IT and non-IT users to respond rapidly to threats and disruptions.
