Acronis, a AI cybersecurity and data protection, and Intel announced the availability of Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud on AI PCs powered by Intel Core Ultra processors. This collaboration brings advanced and automated threat detection and remediation to endpoints without compromising performance.

By integrating Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud with Intel technology, managed service providers (MSPs), managed security service providers (MSSPs), and enterprise customers can experience faster and more efficient cybersecurity. This is ideal for today’s resource-constrained users.

Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud uses AI to detect and remediate threats in real time at the endpoint. It analyzes behavioral patterns to uncover advanced attacks, including ransomware, zero-day exploits, and fileless malware that traditional tools might miss. On Intel® Core™ Ultra-powered devices, the solution leverages OpenVINO™ to offload heavy AI tasks, such as behavioral heuristics and anomaly scoring, to the processor’s neural processing unit (NPU).

Offloading AI-driven detection from the CPU to the NPU reduces CPU load by up to 92%, according to internal performance testing. This optimizes performance, extends battery life, and keeps systems running smoothly.

Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, a SaaS-based, multi-tenant platform, delivers protection from cyberthreats, including next-generation antimalware, email security, data loss prevention (DLP), and endpoint and extended detection and response (EDR/XDR). Security professionals spend less time managing tools thanks to its natively integrated solution, which combines cybersecurity, endpoint management, data protection, automated backups, and disaster recovery. The solution also aligns with NIST cybersecurity functions, helping users identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover more effectively.

“Cyber protection must be natively integrated and AI-powered to address modern cyber threats,” said Gaidar Magdanurov, President at Acronis. “Our collaboration with Intel empowers MSPs and corporate IT to deliver real-time security at the endpoint with minimal impact on system performance.”

“Together Intel and Acronis are delivering fast, AI-powered security right on the device,” said Carla Rodríguez, Vice President and General Manager, Client Software Enabling at Intel. “Running complex security tasks on AI PCs with Intel Core Ultra processors enables breakthrough protection with lower latency and improved performance.”

Traditional antimalware software often struggles to detect modern threats and can drain system resources, causing slowdowns and lost productivity. Fragmented solutions further strain IT teams and increase operational complexity. Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud solves this with natively integrated cyber protection that minimizes impact on system performance, running even more efficiently with Intel technology.

Key Points:

• Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud now runs on AI PCs powered by Intel Core Ultra processors.
• AI-driven threat detection reduces CPU load by up to 92%, improving performance and battery life.
• The SaaS platform integrates cybersecurity, endpoint management, DLP, and EDR/XDR for efficient protection.
