ACE Security & Encryption Protocols 3

Question 1

Which protocol does Acronis Cyber Protect Agent use to securely register with the Management Server during initial deployment?

Accepted Answer

HTTPS with certificate-based mutual authentication

Answer

Agents register with the Management Server over HTTPS using certificate-based authentication to ensure both the agent and server verify each other's identity.

Question 2

What is the role of a self-signed certificate in a standalone Acronis Management Server deployment?

Accepted Answer

It authenticates the server locally without requiring an external certificate authority

Answer

Self-signed certificates allow a standalone Acronis server to authenticate itself locally without a third-party CA, though browsers will show warnings since it's not trusted by default.

Question 3

Which Acronis security feature prevents unauthorized users from reading backup contents even if they gain access to the storage location?

Accepted Answer

Password-based AES-256 encryption of backup archives

Answer

AES-256 encryption of backup archives ensures that without the correct password, the data inside is computationally infeasible to read even with direct storage access.

Question 4

In Acronis Cyber Protect, what does enabling 'two-factor authentication (2FA)' protect against?

Accepted Answer

Unauthorized console access even when credentials are compromised

Answer

2FA on the Acronis management console requires a second verification factor, so stolen usernames and passwords alone cannot grant access to the backup management interface.

Question 5

What is the function of Acronis' 'Notary' service in the context of data security?

Accepted Answer

It provides blockchain-based proof of file authenticity and integrity

Answer

Acronis Notary uses blockchain technology to create tamper-proof records of file authenticity, allowing verification that a file has not been altered since it was notarized.
