Acronis, a global leader in cybersecurity and data protection, today introduces Acronis Cyber Protect Local, a new solution that delivers integrated cyber resilience for on-premises, sovereign, and air-gapped IT and OT environments.
Designed for organizations where cloud operations are not possible or desirable—such as government, energy, healthcare, industrial and transportation sectors—this platform combines backup, recovery, cybersecurity and endpoint management into a single solution. The result is a more secure, efficient and cost-effective operation that maintains complete control over data and infrastructure without compromising data locality, privacy or compliance.
Complete control and data sovereignty
Acronis builds Cyber Protect Local on its proven cyber protection technology, ensuring that all data remains within the customer’s own boundaries and delivering full data sovereignty and peace of mind.
The solution supports both legacy and modern environments—from Windows XP and OT/ICS to Nutanix, Proxmox, VMware and Hyper-V—offering strong backward compatibility, centralized management and self-service recovery. This enables organizations to maintain continuity and compliance even in complex, mixed IT landscapes.
With Cyber Protect Local, data and systems can be restored quickly after incidents or operational failures, reducing downtime and increasing resilience against both cyber threats and technical faults.
Built-in security and efficient management
The solution includes advanced endpoint security with automatic discovery of unregistered devices using Device Sense™. This capability reduces tool sprawl and improves operational control, especially in environments with a wide variety of systems and endpoints.
P2V, V2V and platform-independent recoveries can be performed without separate agent installations, making migration, backup and recovery faster and more reliable.
“Even though the cloud dominates today, critical infrastructure still requires local solutions,” says Gaidar Magdanurov, CEO of Acronis.
“Systems that manage water, power, healthcare and transportation often rely on legacy technology and are therefore especially vulnerable. More than half of all OT organizations reported at least one cyber incident in 2025.
With Cyber Protect Local, we bring the proven strengths of our cloud platform to the local environment—fully under the customer’s control.”
AI-driven resilience in a single platform
By unifying multiple capabilities into a single platform, Acronis Cyber Protect Local reduces technical complexity and lowers operational and maintenance costs.
AI-driven automation, anomaly detection, self-service recovery, platform-independent migration and SIEM integration enable both IT and OT teams to quickly identify, respond to and manage incidents.
The embedded AI engine analyzes behavioral patterns and detects anomalies in real time, providing an additional layer of protection against ransomware, insider threats and unauthorized access.
Cyber Protect Local also reduces the need for multiple separate security and management tools, simplifying administration and freeing resources for strategic initiatives.

For environments where cloud connectivity is not an option
Cyber Protect Local gives organizations a proactive, active and reactive protection layer, tailored for mission-critical environments that require standalone, local or sovereign infrastructure.
This solution extends Acronis’s global cyber protection to operations that need maximum control, data integrity and compliance with regulations such as NIS2 and national cybersecurity laws.
With Cyber Protect Local, companies and government agencies can modernize their IT security, reduce downtime and strengthen resilience—without leaving their own infrastructure.
Acronis demonstrates with this launch that local solutions remain essential in an increasingly cloud-centric world. By combining data sovereignty, AI-based analytics and automated recovery, the company sets a new standard for protecting both legacy and modern environments while keeping full control on-premises.
