Single-console IT operations
An SMB consolidates backup, security, patch management and remote support into one Acronis console — no dedicated IT staff required for routine operations.

Acronis Advanced Management
Patch management, hardware inventory and remote assistance on the Acronis agent.
Quick answer
Acronis Advanced Management is the IT operations add-on for Cyber Protect Cloud and Cyber Protect 16. It uses the same Acronis agent to deploy Windows and 3rd-party patches, build hardware/software inventory, deliver remote desktop assistance and monitor drive health — adding the IT operations layer on top of backup and security.
Advanced Management is the IT operations layer of the Acronis platform — patch management, software/hardware inventory, drive-health monitoring, remote desktop assistance and backup-validation automation, all delivered through the same Acronis agent and console. For SMBs and MSPs it consolidates three or four standalone tools (patch manager, inventory scanner, remote support tool, S.M.A.R.T. monitor) into one.
Patch management covers Windows OS updates and 300+ third-party applications (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Adobe Acrobat, Java, Zoom, Notepad++, 7-Zip, VLC). Failsafe patching takes a snapshot before deployment so rollback is one click. The drive-health predictive feature reads S.M.A.R.T. data and warns of impending disk failure days or weeks before the actual failure — disk replacement gets scheduled instead of emergency-handled.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions
How does it differ from Bitdefender Patch Management?
Similar scope. Acronis sits on the backup-and-security console; Bitdefender sits on the security console. The choice usually follows whichever platform the organization has already standardized on.
Which remote-desktop protocol is used?
Acronis' proprietary remote-desktop protocol — web-based plus the existing Acronis agent. No additional install, no separate firewall rules.
What is drive health (S.M.A.R.T.) monitoring?
The agent reads disk S.M.A.R.T. attributes (reallocated sectors, pending sectors, read error rate, temperature) and applies predictive models to forecast disk failure days or weeks in advance. Alerts fire so disk replacement is scheduled, not emergency.
Which third-party patches are supported?
300+ common applications — Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Adobe Reader/Acrobat, Java, Zoom, Notepad++, 7-Zip, VLC, GIT, OpenSSL, OpenVPN and more. The catalog is refreshed continuously by Acronis' patch-engineering team.
How is backup validation automated?
The platform periodically verifies backup file integrity (checksum verification) and optionally performs recovery simulation — restoring the backup to a sandbox VM, booting it and verifying application health. The result is documented evidence that backups are actually recoverable.
What is the licensing model?
Add-on pack on top of Cyber Protect Cloud (per workload, monthly) or Cyber Protect 16 (per host, annual).
