Cloud Backup Active Protection

Active Protection is a feature with enhanced capabilities to combat ransomware, helping to protect your data from highly dangerous modern data-modification threats. Active Protection is essential for safeguarding your data against ransomware like Petya, WannaCry, and Osiris.

What Is Ransomware?

Ransomware is a type of malware that can infect computers and even Android devices. It spreads via the internet and encrypts data over the internet as well. When ransomware infects your system, it blocks access to your data until you pay a ransom to decrypt and regain access to your encrypted data.

How Does Active Protection Work?

Acronis Active Protection is an advanced ransomware protection technology. Using a cloud backup system, Active Protection actively protects all data on your system—including documents, media files, programs, and more—as well as the data you back up.

Active Protection constantly monitors for any data changes across your entire system and prevents changes that are detected as harmful to your file system and data. This greatly helps you identify attacks from all types of ransomware, even those not yet known to the public.

Furthermore, Active Protection monitors the Master Boot Record of Windows-based computers to prevent unauthorized changes that could prevent your computer from booting properly and to secure the Acronis application process or the content of backed-up files.

Active Protection can detect threats from both identified and unknown virus attacks. This detection ensures that your data is safe from ransomware attacks. Active Protection maintains a whitelist—a list of programs used to prevent blacklisted activities, ensuring that blacklisted files cannot be backed up.

All types of backed-up files can be secured with the extra Ransomware Active Protection in Cloud Backup. This includes word processing files (txt, doc, xlxs, etc.), images (jpg, jpeg, png, etc.), applications (exe, bin, etc.), and other file types.

Back up your data immediately to prevent malware attacks that could compromise your devices and cause you financial loss. With the extra protection of Ransomware Active Protection, your work won’t be disrupted by dangerous, fast-spreading malware. Learn more about Cloud Backup here.
