Vulnerability assessment - usable with Acronis Cyber Backup ?

Hello !

If you have the Acronis Cyber Protect 15 advanced yes, you can use that feature.

If you are talking about the Acronis Cyber backup 12.5 the feature isn't available.

It's normal nothing happens because once you run the plan it just searches for vulnerabilities in the system and won't execute nothing if you don't enable the patch management as well.

Please check the user-guide with the instructions about how to configure the patch management: https://www.acronis.com/en-us/support/documentation/AcronisCyberProtect…

Please let me know if this answered to your question.

Thanks in advance!

Well as I posted it in the CP15 forum I use V15 ;-)

Well the manual does not help with my questions.
- is there any way of getting rid of these outdated entries?
- if I setup a protection plan with only the vulnerability assessment configured, how can I check, whether the plan is executed? Although I select "start now" there is no entry in the activities list....

My expectation was, that there is an entry in the activities list if I start the plan manually, but maybe my expecataion was too high.

Hello Sven!

You posted here, but you mentioned Acronis Cyber backup, and those products don't have the same advanced features. I had to mention to be sure we are talking about the same product.

After you execute the scan the results should appear in : Dashboard > Overview > Vulnerabilities / Existing vulnerabilities

If they don't appear on that tab there is an issue and you should raise a ticket with support to check it. https://kb.acronis.com/content/8153

Regarding the other questions the only way to get rid of those outdated entries is:

- check them machine by machine and update yourself manually following this: https://www.acronis.com/en-us/support/documentation/AcronisCyberProtect…

- Add a patch management plan to update automatically the available patches as mentioned above.

Thanks.

To be completely precise:

We use Cyber Protect - Backup Advanced 15

So we have no patch management and so - if I understand you correctly - we have no chance of getting rid of the entries in the list as we cannot execute the patch management.

You can start a vulnerability remediation process. So literally after the list is displayed you can check 1 by 1 and decide which one you consider or not a real vulnerability. 

This is the user-guide: https://www.acronis.com/en-us/support/documentation/AcronisCyberProtect…

Let me know if you still having questions after checking this. We can contact our support and try to schedule a session so all of this can be explained to you in detail.

Thanks.

As mentioned:

We have only Acronis Cyber Protect - Backup Advanced.....

There is NO chance of selecting "apply patch" as this is not contained in that sort of license.

So the list contains all found vulnerabilitys of all time since the beginning....bit weird....

Hello Sven. If you don't manage the vulnerabilities manually they will stay there. The panel is just informative, like a record book, you decide if it's a real vulnerability for you or not and if you decide that is you can install manually the recommended updates on the machine itself.
