Endpoint SecurityAI-based Anti-malware Protection
AI-powered anti-malware and anti-ransomware that prevents downtime, not just recovers from it.
Acronis AI-based Anti-malware Protection (Acronis Active Protection) defends Windows, Linux, and macOS against zero-day malware and ransomware using AI and machine learning — a static AI analyzer, a behavioural engine, and anti-cryptojacking. Natively integrated with backup, it recovers cleanly and prevents reinfection. Faltrox delivers it as managed endpoint anti-malware protection.
Overview
What AI-based Anti-malware Protection is
Recovering from an attack is not enough — the goal is to prevent the downtime and data loss in the first place. Acronis AI-based Anti-malware Protection (Acronis Active Protection) does exactly that: AI- and ML-enabled anti-ransomware, anti-malware, and anti-cryptojacking that actively prevents attacks across Windows, Linux, and macOS.
It combines a static AI analyzer for on-access and on-demand detection, a behavioural engine that catches threats by what they do, and the Acronis anti-malware engine for known threats — with real-time protection, on-demand scanning, network-folder and server-side protection, quarantine, and self-protection of the Acronis components. Because it is natively integrated with backup, safe recovery restores a malware-free image and automatic allowlists from backups reduce false positives. Faltrox operates it as managed endpoint anti-malware protection.
Coverage
What it protects
The platforms, threats, and surfaces this product is built to defend.
Windows, Linux & macOS
AI-based anti-malware protection across all three major operating systems.
Ransomware
Acronis Active Protection detects and stops ransomware and recovers affected data.
Cryptojacking
Detects cryptomining processes that hijack endpoints for illicit mining.
Zero-Day Malware
AI and behavioural detection catch never-before-seen malware.
Network Folders
Protects data in shared folders on the machine and across the network.
Safe Recovery
Recovers a malware-free image, integrating anti-malware updates into recovery.
How it works
The mechanism
How the product moves from signal to protected state, step by step.
- 01
Analyse
A static AI analyzer inspects files on access and on demand to catch malware before execution.
- 02
Watch Behaviour
A behavioural engine monitors activity in real time to catch threats by what they do.
- 03
Prevent
Active Protection stops ransomware, cryptojacking, and zero-day malware and quarantines threats.
- 04
Recover Cleanly
Safe recovery restores a malware-free image, and allowlists from backups reduce false positives.
- 05
Operate
Faltrox tunes the policy, runs the protection, and integrates it with backup and recovery.
Capabilities
Key capabilities
Acronis Active Protection
AI- and ML-enabled anti-ransomware, anti-malware, and anti-cryptojacking that actively prevents attacks.
Static AI Analyzer
On-access and on-demand detection catches malware before it executes.
Behavioural Engine
Real-time behavioural detection catches threats by what they do, not just signatures.
Multi-OS Coverage
Protects Windows, Linux, and macOS from one platform.
Network & Server Protection
Protects data in shared folders on the machine and across the network.
Safe Recovery
Integrates anti-malware updates into recovery to restore a malware-free image.
Allowlists From Backups
Scans backups to build allowlists, reducing false positives and enabling aggressive heuristics.
Self-Protection

Works with
Part of the platform
Acronis products this pairs with, and the Faltrox services that operate it.
Delivery
You buy the outcome, not the console
Managed by Faltrox
Faltrox licenses, deploys, and tunes Acronis AI-based Anti-malware Protection for your environment, then runs it as part of a managed service, so you get the protection without staffing another security console.
FAQ
Common questions
01How is it different from ordinary antivirus?
It is AI- and ML-enabled and actively prevents attacks — a static AI analyzer, a behavioural engine, and anti-cryptojacking catch zero-day and ransomware by behaviour, not just signatures. And because it is integrated with backup, it recovers a malware-free image and prevents reinfection, which standalone antivirus cannot.
02What does "safe recovery" mean?
Backed-up data can itself be infected. Safe recovery applies the latest anti-malware definitions and scans backup images so you restore a malware-free OS image — reducing the chance of reinfection after recovery, which ordinary recovery risks.
03Does it protect against ransomware specifically?
Yes — Acronis Active Protection is purpose-built anti-ransomware that detects and stops ransomware in real time and can recover affected data, alongside anti-cryptojacking and general anti-malware.
04How do allowlists from backups help?
Acronis scans backups to build allowlists of your organisation’s unique applications, so aggressive heuristics can run without generating false positives on custom apps — improving detection while avoiding the false-positive noise that plagues aggressive scanning.
05How does Faltrox operate it?
We deploy and tune the anti-malware policy, run the protection, integrate it with backup for safe recovery, and act on detections — delivering managed endpoint anti-malware protection as part of the wider defence we run.
