Cyberattacks are becoming increasingly frequent, sophisticated, and costly.

44% of security incidents involved ransomware

Ransomware is one of the main threats to businesses, as it can lead to data loss, business disruptions, and high recovery costs. (1)


60% of security breaches involve human error

Employees are one of the main targets of cyberattacks, so it is important to combine technology, monitoring, and training to strengthen security. (2)


$5.08 million USD average cost per ransomware attack

Frequently Asked Questions About Security and Cloud Security

What kind of protection is included in the solution?

The solution provides integrated protection for data, devices, and applications by combining backup and restore, cybersecurity (antivirus, antimalware, and anti-ransomware), disaster recovery, device and application management, and data loss prevention (DLP)—all managed through a single portal. This unified approach eliminates the need to procure multiple standalone tools and reduces operational complexity.

Where is my company's data stored?

The data is hosted at the MEO Data Center in Covilhã, Acronis’s national hub, which ensures that the data remains within Portuguese territory, offers lower latency, and complies with data localization requirements.

If I already have Microsoft 365, do I still need a backup?

Yes. Microsoft 365 offers limited retention periods, but it does not replace an independent backup. With the Cloud Security Pack, emails and files from Exchange, OneDrive, Teams, and SharePoint are copied to an infrastructure outside the Microsoft tenant—which allows you, for example, to recover an email deleted six months ago, even if it no longer exists in Microsoft 365.

How does EDR differ from traditional antivirus software?

Traditional antivirus software relies primarily on signatures of known threats. EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) continuously monitors device behavior using AI-assisted analysis aligned with the MITRE ATT&CK framework: if it detects suspicious activity—for example, a program encrypting files in an unusual way—it blocks it immediately and allows for the quick restoration of affected data. The XDR tier is also available, which extends detection and response to devices, applications, email, and data.

Does the solution protect email against phishing and fraud?

Yes, through the Email Security add-on, which is available for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or Open-Xchange accounts and enhances filtering of threats such as phishing and malware carried via email. Having Microsoft 365 does not, in and of itself, provide immunity from these attacks.

What if the threat comes from human error?

The human factor is one of the main vectors of attack. The Security Awareness Training feature prepares employees to identify online attack attempts and avoid digital scams. In addition, the Data Loss Prevention component allows you to control peripheral devices (USB drives, external hard drives, printers), define lists of authorized devices, and remotely wipe data, thereby preventing information leaks due to negligence or misconduct.

Does the solution help ensure compliance with the GDPR and NIS2?

Yes, it provides supporting evidence (records, policies, controls, and reports) that the company can incorporate into its own compliance process. By strengthening the protection of personal data and resilience, it also contributes to the security requirements of the GDPR.

Security Glossary

Find explanations of key security terms. Stay informed and stay safe.

Backup (backup copy)

Automatic backup of the company's files, systems, and applications, stored off-site. This allows you to restore data and resume operations quickly, even if a computer or server breaks down, is stolen, or becomes inoperable.


Immutable backup

A backup that cannot be modified or deleted during the defined retention period. It is one of the most effective defenses against ransomware because it ensures that there is always an intact version of the data available for recovery.

Disaster Recovery

The ability to restore critical systems to operation after a serious incident—such as a cyberattack, hardware failure, fire, or flood. The systems are restored from a copy hosted in the cloud, reducing business downtime.


DLP (Data Loss Prevention)

A set of controls that prevents confidential information from leaving the company improperly. It allows, for example, blocking the copying of data to USB drives or external hard drives, defining lists of authorized devices, and remotely deleting data.

EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response)

Unlike traditional antivirus software, which only recognizes known threats, EDR continuously monitors device behavior. If it detects suspicious activity, it blocks it immediately and allows for the quick recovery of affected data.


Endpoint

Any device that connects to the company's network and through which information flows—computers, laptops, servers, or NAS devices—is the most common target of attacks, so these are also the first things to protect.

Vulnerability and Update Management

Continuous monitoring of systems and applications to identify security vulnerabilities before they are exploited, followed by the automatic application of patches that fix them. It is one of the simplest and most effective ways to reduce risk.

Malware

A general term for malicious software designed to damage systems, steal information, or take control of devices. It includes viruses, Trojans, spyware, and ransomware.

Phishing

An attempted scam in which the attacker impersonates a trusted entity—such as a bank, a supplier, or even a colleague—to obtain credentials, banking information, or access to systems. It typically arrives via email, text , or instant message.

Ransomware

An attack that encrypts a company's files and demands a ransom payment to unlock them. Effective protection is based on three layers: preventing access, detecting anomalous encryption in real time, and recovering data from secure backups.


Restoration (restore)

The process of restoring data from a backup. It can be a full restore (the entire system) or a granular restore (just a file, a folder, or a mailbox), depending on what needs to be recovered.

XDR (Extended Detection and Response)

An evolution of EDR that extends detection and response beyond devices to also cover applications, email, and data. It provides an integrated view of what’s happening across the entire organization and accelerates incident response.
