What is ransomware?
Ransomware is a particularly painful type of malware. Malware is “hostile or intrusive software” that is illegally introduced onto your system for malicious reasons. When ransomware infects your system it blocks access to your data until the payment is delivered to the criminals who are extorting you or your business. It's an illegal threat to your data.
The same technology Acronis uses to stop ransomware can also prevent cryptocurrency mining malware from hijacking your system resources? To learn about the threat of cryptojacking and how Acronis protects your system, click here
Acronis has turned the world upside down
Actual recovery of ransomed files
If ransomware begins to encrypt files, Acronis quickly detects and halts this process. Because Acronis is a backup solution, any data that was exposed and encrypted before the process was halted can be recovered from a variety of backup sources. Not only can’t alternative anti-ransomware solutions commonly end an attack once it has started, they have no way to recover any files encrypted by the attack. Acronis Active Protection detects and deflects attacks, and restores files of any size!
- Local or cloud backups attacksAttackers that try to infect or compromise local or cloud backups
- Harder to notice attacksAttacks that are smaller and harder to notice, for example changing only a small part of a document or photo deep in your hard drive
- Surreptitiously changed filesAttackers coming up with creative new ways to attempt to surreptitiously change your files without your knowledge
