This enhancement results in lower CPU utilization which allows more compute capacity for productivity and office software used by Acronis end customers while compute-intensive security operations run in the Intel® integrated GPU. The Acronis solution combines complete single-agent cyber protection with Intel® TDT. Acronis researchers found that while scanning all the processes in system memory on supported CPUs, Intel® TDT reduced the load on the CPU 2.4x times, by offloading the job to the Intel® integrated GPU. Intel® TDT technology allows Acronis cyber protection solutions to free resources while scanning HDD and memory resulting in improved system performance. Many threats utilize an in-memory-only approach which can be hard to detect. With cyber threats evolving and growing on a daily basis, Acronis researchers have witnessed new types of malware and attack vectors on enterprises such as polymorphic malware and fileless attacks. Acronis is the latest cyber protection company to integrate Intel® TDT to enrich its security products.

Acronis announced the enhancement of its security defence against advanced fileless attacks using Intel Treat Detection Technology (Intel TDT) leveraging the Intel® integrated GPU to offload memory scanning operations from the CPU.
