Acronis, a global provider of cybersecurity and data protection, has launched Acronis Cyber Protect Local, a solution designed to deliver natively integrated cyber resilience for on-premises, sovereign private cloud, and air-gapped IT and operational technology (OT) environments. Intended for organizations in which cloud deployment isn’t an option, the solution combines backup, recovery, cybersecurity and endpoint management in a single platform, the company said.
Acronis Cyber Protect Local is designed to keep data securely within the customer’s perimeter, ensuring full data sovereignty and regulatory compliance. The solution supports legacy systems and modern hypervisors including Windows XP, OT/ICS environments, Nutanix, Proxmox, VMware, and Hyper-V to ensure coverage across mixed infrastructures. Customer benefits include backward compatibility, one-click self-service recovery and expanded workload portability for virtual and hyper-converged environments, officials said.
The solution also offers natively integrated endpoint security and management, including automated discovery of unmanaged devices via Device Sense, helping reduce tooling complexity while enhancing operational efficiency, the company said. In addition, P2V, V2V and cross-platform recovery are simplified, with no need for separate agent installations.
“Despite the broad adoption of cloud-based applications, there is critical infrastructure that requires on-premises deployment and protection,” said Gaidar Magdanurov, president at Acronis. “The systems that ensure we have access to water, electricity, technology, health care and transportation are vulnerable targets for cyberattacks due to their reliance on outdated software and hardware. In 2025, over 50 percent of OT organizations reported at least one cybersecurity incident. Acronis Cyber Protect Local brings the power and innovation of our trusted cloud cyber protection platform directly on-premises, running on a dedicated management server within the customer’s internal networks to meet strict security and data location requirements.”
By consolidating multiple tools into a single platform, Acronis Cyber Protect Local is intended to reduce complexity while improving IT productivity. AI-driven automation, anomaly detection, self-service recovery, cross-platform migration and SIEM integration enable IT and non-IT users to respond rapidly to threats and disruptions, the company said.
