Overview

Acronis Cyber Protect Connect is a remote desktop and monitoring solution that enables IT technicians and individuals to easily access and effectively manage the remote workloads.

What's new

UAC elevation prompt in Acronis Cyber Protect Connect Quick Assist for Windows

IT technicians who log in as non-administrative users to a remote Windows workload by using Quick Assist will be able to elevate their privileges on the remote workload and perform tasks that require administrator rights.

Common credentials

It's possible to save workload credentials in the Credentials store, and then use the same credentials (called "common credentials") for automatic authentication when establishing remote connections to multiple workloads.

Email-based two-factor authentication within a team

It’s possible to enhance the security of user accounts within a team by configuring two-factor authentication. Users will be allowed to log in after providing a correct username, password, and one-time verification code that is sent to their email address.

​Centralized configuration and distribution of agent settings within a team

With the Acronis Cyber Protect Connect console, it’s possible to manage the agent settings within a team, and then distribute them automatically to all workloads in the team.

"Optimize for Retina displays" setting for RDP connections

With the new “Optimize for Retina displays” setting, users will be able to get a precise image of the Windows remote desktop when connecting via RDP from a Mac with a Retina display.
