Cyberthreats are becoming more sophisticated and difficult to detect as cybercriminals use advanced technology, such as AI and automation, to improve the effectiveness and frequency of their attacks. Modern cyber protection requires constant vigilance, which means our solutions must be continuously updated to protect our customers from modern threats. Acronis is committed to ensuring our customers’ valuable data, applications, and systems are protected from risk at all times.
With this objective in mind, Acronis will only sell subscription-based licenses effective October 1, 2021. This policy guarantees that our customers will always run up-to-date versions of our solutions and avoid any gaps in defense, while allowing Acronis to concentrate on delivering superior cyber protection in real time.
