During the last year, we observed that almost 50% of attacks detected were fileless. Patrick Pulvermueller, CEO at Acronis, comments, “The integration of Intel TDT into Acronis cyber protection solutions is a logical step to meet the needs of our users. The innovation of Intel TDT will be available through Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, Acronis Cyber Protect, and Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office solutions.

This enhancement results in lower CPU utilisation which allows more compute capacity for productivity and office software used by Acronis end customers while compute-intensive security operations run in the Intel integrated GPU.

The Acronis solution combines complete single-agent cyber protection with Intel TDT.

Intel TDT technology allows Acronis cyber protection solutions to free resources while scanning HDD and memory resulting in improved system performance.Īcronis researchers found that while scanning all the processes in system memory on supported CPUs, Intel TDT reduced the load on the CPU 2.4x times, by offloading the job to the Intel integrated GPU. Many threats utilise an in-memory-only approach which can be hard to detect. With cyber threats evolving and growing on a daily basis, Acronis researchers have witnessed new types of malware and attack vectors on enterprises such as polymorphic malware and fileless attacks. Acronis, a global specialist in cyber protection, has announced the enhancement of its security defence against advanced fileless attacks using Intel Threat Detection Technology (Intel TDT) leveraging the Intel integrated GPU to offload memory scanning operations from the CPU.Īcronis is the latest cyber protection company to integrate Intel TDT to enrich its security products.
