ACE Security & Encryption Protocols 2

Question 1

Which encryption algorithm does Acronis Cyber Protect use by default for backup data encryption?

Accepted Answer

AES-256

Answer

Acronis Cyber Protect uses AES-256 (Advanced Encryption Standard with 256-bit key) as its default encryption algorithm for securing backup data.

Question 2

In Acronis, when encryption is applied to a backup, where is the encryption password stored?

Accepted Answer

It is NOT stored anywhere by Acronis — the user must remember it

Answer

Acronis does not store encryption passwords; if the password is lost, the backup cannot be recovered, so users must safeguard it independently.

Question 3

What is the purpose of the SSL/TLS certificate in Acronis Cyber Protect communication between agent and management server?

Accepted Answer

To authenticate the management server and encrypt the communication channel

Answer

SSL/TLS certificates authenticate the management server identity and establish an encrypted channel, preventing man-in-the-middle attacks between agents and the server.

Question 4

Which port does Acronis Cyber Protect Management Server use by default for HTTPS web console access?

Accepted Answer

9877

Answer

The Acronis Cyber Protect Management Server web console listens on port 9877 by default for HTTPS connections.

Question 5

What does 'encryption at rest' mean in the context of Acronis backups?

Accepted Answer

Data is encrypted while stored in the backup location, regardless of network state

Answer

Encryption at rest means backup data remains encrypted in its storage location, protecting it from unauthorized physical or storage-level access even without network involvement.
