What Acronis announced

Acronis, the data protection and cybersecurity company headquartered in Switzerland, said on April 15, 2025 that its technology had prevented more than 7.5 million cyberattacks over the previous year. It is a large number. The company used it to highlight the growth of its security business.

The technology behind the number

AI and machine learning

Acronis uses AI and machine learning to analyze data in real time and tell legitimate activity from malicious activity, with the goal of stopping threats before they turn into breaches that cost customers data and downtime.

Automation

Automation speeds up response. It also cuts the chance of human error.

Growth outside Europe

Acronis has grown beyond its European base, with notable gains in North America and the Asia-Pacific region, built on partnerships and local operations that adapt its products to regional security needs.

Industry Recognition and Certifications

Acronis pointed to awards and certifications from industry organizations as outside validation of its products and security standards.

What the figure means

Company-reported figures like this are hard to compare across vendors, since each counts attacks differently. Still, the number shows the scale at which security vendors now operate.

For customers, the more useful questions are how quickly a product detects new threats and how well it helps recover data after an attack.

Acronis is betting that combining backup and security in one platform will keep winning customers.
