SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland, Sept. 30, 2025, a global leader in cybersecurityand data protection, today announced the general availability of Acronis True Image 2026, the new release of its natively integrated backup and security software for consumers and small businesses. The latest version introduces built-in patch management for Windows and a strengthened security engine with AI-based threat detection, anti-ransomware, and malware scanning.
Acronis True Image 2026 simplifies complex protection into one easy-to-use application. It is the first consumer software to proactively safeguard against emerging cyberthreats and provide identity protection*, fast backup, easy recovery, and advanced cyber protection in an all-in-one tool.

Protect Everything That Matters - Data, Devices, Identity
With the rise of ransomware, identity theft, and evolving cyber risks, protection needs to go beyond backup. As the solution, the new release of Acronis True Image 2026 introduces:
- Simplified Updates: Windows users can opt for fully automated background updates that apply security patches automatically, or receive alerts to install third-party patches manually - both options fix the latest vulnerabilities.
- Advanced Cybersecurity: Protects against complex attack vectors, including DLL hijacking, root code execution, and API key exploits.
- Continuous Protection: Acronis's proprietary cybersecurity technology keeps all devices with True Image up to date and secure against cyber threats.
- Seamless Compatibility: Works with the latest Windows and macOS versions, offering protection across various devices.
"Acronis True Image 2026 is built for those who don't have time to worry about their digital safety," said Gaidar Magdanurov, President at Acronis. "Most people don't want to think about backups and security - they just want to know they're safe. With True Image 2026, we've made protection automatic. And instead of paying for two separate applications and managing multiple subscriptions, users can rely on a single tool that saves them up to 55% in costs on average."
Unlike other consumer security and backup software, Acronis True Image 2026 is the only tool with integrated cyber protection and patch management, an essential component of modern cybersecurity. Patch management plays a critical role in closing vulnerabilities and defending against attacks, underscoring how Acronis continues to strengthen its solutions against today's increasingly sophisticated cyberthreats.
