Case Study: Global automotive manufacturer achieves rapid recovery from ransomware and continuous production with Acronis Backup

Acronis Backup Effectively Solves Ransomware Problems for Globally Acting Automotive Enterprises

Ransomware, a globally acting automotive enterprise, faced crippling cyberattacks that threatened production lines and critical data across hundreds of virtual servers and multiple hypervisors. To ensure business continuity and point‑in‑time recovery the customer turned to Acronis and deployed Acronis Backup to protect workloads, create multiple offsite backup copies, and meet stringent RTO/SLA requirements.

Acronis implemented Acronis Backup with Acronis Active Protection, Instant Restore, off‑host backups and bare‑metal recovery (supporting 21 platforms), enabling fast detection and blocking of ransomware and booting systems directly from backups. As a result, Acronis customers report ransomware attacks being detected/blocked, corrupted data automatically restored, recovery times reduced to mere seconds in many cases, shorter backup windows and significantly lower RTOs—minimizing downtime and administrative overhead.
