![]() Every evening it updates some 200 GB plus sending it to Acronis’ cloud for safe keeping. ![]() It has backed up my iMac to the cloud for four months without any attention. I know this date is correct because that’s when I swapped to a new iMac. The last time I checked the older edition of the software was in May. Going by my experience with the 2018 version, I can verify this. Whereas Acronis True Image 2018 included Master Boot Record (MBR) protection as part of self-defense settings, now it is possible to control the self-defense capabilities and protection of MBR separately, giving users even more flexibility.If you came here via search, you may prefer to read the review of the 2021 version of True Image.Īcronis says True Image 2019 provides set and forget protection. Users also have more flexibility in controlling those processes, allowing them to modify files, to modify files and backups, or block them as before. Now, there’s also the ability to whitelist or blacklist a malicious process immediately after detection. Malicious script executed through PowerShell also will be displayed properly. Now you will see a Not_Petya.dll warning instead of rundll32.exeĭetecting a ransomware attack on your network This should help in cases when the user is not sure he should block the process or allow it to run. Notifications now show you when a malicious dll or script (with a name) is using a legitimate interpreter in order to attack your data. There are plenty of ransomware families that use this technique, including Locky, Cerber, CryptoWall, Crypt0L0cker, CTB-Locker, RAA and many others. One goal is to keep users better informed, which is why Acronis True Image 2019 provides information on sophisticated ransomware – such as attacks that use interpreters like PowerShell, WScript, Java, Python, Perl, Ruby, cmd.exe, etc., or run malicious dlls via rundll32.exe to perform the infection or other actions. We continue to improve the usability of our solution, responding to user suggestions on how we can make their experience better. You can choose a folder to restore affected files from NAS or network share.īlack Ruby is one of the ransomware families that is capable of encrypting files on local shares. Users can switch the network shares protection off, but we strongly recommend keeping it enabled (as by default). Plus you can restore files to a local folder – either a default Acronis folder or another user-defined folder – to ensure you can recover encrypted files even if the attack causes volatile network availability. Since many ransomware strains will try to attack networks shares in addition to local files, in Acronis True Image 2019 we extended the coverage of our anti-ransomware technology to include network shares and NAS devices.Īcronis Active Protection will detect ransomware if it begins to encrypt files on network shares. Most valuable data is stored locally, although many working files can also be found on network shares, in local folders with remote/shared access, and on network attached storages (NAS). Protection of network attached storages and network shares This innovative technique both boosts performance up to 150-200 percent compare to the previous approach and increases accuracy – allowing the new model to detect when a user receives an email attachment that claims to be a PDF, but in reality, it is malicious executable. By comparison, if we kept using the previous approach, our ML model would grow to dozens of megabytes – 10-times larger than it is now. This approach, for example, allows us to keep the same sized model (or even slightly less) while including much more data. Excluding rare frames from the learning process increases the overall accuracy while delivering other benefits. While we previously didn’t analyze how often a particular stake frame appears in the stack, we now do – so we only take popular frames to learn from based on a special internal dictionary. The idea is that the trees in this technique are not equally weighted depending on the situation in which different trees are used. In Acronis True Image 2019, we’ve implemented a new model for stack trace analysis, based on the Gradient Boosting Tree technique. As you may remember, Acronis uses AI and machine learning models to analyze stack traces in Windows processes, in case our behavioral heuristics need a “second opinion” to decide if a process is ransomware or not.
