Generation was the first personal backup software to include behavioral-based anti-ransomware protection through its "Acronis Active Protection" feature, along with blockchain-based file notarization via "Acronis Notary."

Further acquisitions included 5nine Software in 2019, and DeviceLock and CyberLynx in 2020. That same year, Acronis launched its Cyber Protect platform, integrating backup and cybersecurity. The company supports integrations with platforms such as ConnectWise and Microsoft Azure.
