New artificial intelligence tools are making it easy for bad actors to create and distribute malware, and the amount of malware attacks is in the billions yearly. No cybersecurity software can provide 100% protection.

It has cybersecurity tools integrated with backup to provide complete personal cyber protection. Backup data improves the quality of behavior-based detection, and malware protection safeguards your backup data. Integration enhances both solutions for complete personal cyber protection and backup enabling security. ![Image 9: Integrated personal cybersecurity and backup for a complete cyber protection](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/content/0ed8b18532fd3baf73320b5379a9b2fe.png) ### Antivirus protection [Anti-malware](https://www.acronis.com/en/products/true-image/features/anti-malware-software/) and anti-ransomware protection: quick and full-scans, on-demand and scheduled and real-time protection ### Behavioral engine Detection of new strains of malware based on the behavior, not the known signatures – by using AI to give protection against new threats ### Backup Automated and manual [backup](https://www.acronis.com/en/products/true-image/features/fast-recovery/) and [recovery](https://www.acronis.com/en/products/true-image/features/fast-recovery/) options in case of data corruption caused by malware, serving as the final line of defenses ## Active ransomware protection Acronis True Image provides continuous protection, monitors data modification patterns, detects typical and suspicious behaviors, and compares against malicious patterns.
