Single Solution provides Internet Security Combined with Trusted Backup and Recovery Capabilities
Singapore, 23rd February 2011 - Acronis, a leading provider of easy to use backup and recovery solutions for physical, virtual and cloud environments, today launched Acronis® Backup and Security™ 2011, an updated solution to safeguard critical data and systems from both internal and external threats. The latest edition delivers three elements for home computer protection - local backup and disaster recovery, online backup and Internet security.
Acronis Backup and Security 2011 provides comprehensive information protection that combines award-winning backup and recovery with Internet security, delivering a comprehensive alternative to existing point solutions. This combination of backup and security technologies allows users to back up systems locally for fast recovery of both data and their entire PC, protecting them against user error, disk failures and system failures, and to implement industry leading firewall, anti-virus, parental controls and other security protections. Acronis Backup and Security 2011 also provides online backup - an additional layer of protection with remote location data protection in case of theft or physical disasters.
Licensed to protect up to three home computers for one year, Acronis Backup and Security 2011 includes several significant enhancements, including integration with Windows® 7 operating systems, a new user interface making configurations easier and support for USB 3.0 standards.
Acronis Backup and Security 2011 allows home users to protect their PCs and those of their family members against data loss and security threats including the many viruses, spam, phishing and identity theft attacks prevalent on the Internet today. Users can securely bank, shop and surf the web, store music and images, keep personal information private, enable parental controls and block unauthorised access to their wireless networks by using Acronis Backup and Security 2011 software.
"By combining the three main elements of data protection into one product, we're offering a single solution to meet all consumers' information protection needs," said Bill Taylor-Mountford, President of Acronis APAC. "The user-friendly interface allows users to easily set up their backup requirements and the Internet security features provide full protection against the latest threats and viruses."
