The company has created a dedicated development team focused on building tamper-proof data storage and solutions for verifiable synchronization and sharing that use Blockchain technology to guarantee data authenticity, privacy, and control. Breakthrough Blockchain technology, which provides a record of digital events for interested participants and entities, has the potential to create a broad range of new data protection scenarios for businesses and organizations around the world. **Blockchain promises enormous potential for data protection** Today’s digital world contains an immense amount of material whose origin and ownership are difficult, and above all costly, to track and trace. Blockchain can solve this problem by providing global authenticity and security for data and transactions of any kind, reducing the costs and complexity of centralized systems while providing resistance to unauthorized tampering. With Blockchain technology, data and transactions can be updated only according to rules agreed upon by the participants in the system, and newly added data can never be deleted. **Acronis applies Blockchain to ensure tamper-proof data protection** Acronis has chosen an unconventional approach to using Blockchain technology to address specific data protection challenges by identifying and developing existing specific use cases. Data and transactions protected against tampering by Blockchain technology can be used in cases where individuals or businesses must maintain the integrity of original information without exception. For example, Acronis is currently enhancing its data storage and file-sharing solutions with Blockchain technology to monitor data integrity and always guarantee their authenticity. Examples of data that can be protected from unauthorized tampering using Blockchain include property and health records, stock exchange transfers, evidentiary documents for court files, police video recordings or security camera footage, archives that may be subject to IT audits, and “consortium” data repositories where various individuals and entities can securely store and share large volumes of data and information. **Acronis prototype data authentication solution using Blockchain now available** As part of the announced initiative, Acronis is introducing a prototype solution that demonstrates the possibilities of Blockchain technology in data protection to service providers and end customers. For example, the prototype shows how Blockchain can be used to verify and protect data with timestamps and certificates of authenticity. By making the prototype solution available to the public, Acronis aims to gather ideas for potential data protection use cases to which Blockchain technology can be applied, in order to better understand the needs and potential of the data protection solutions market. For more information and to try the prototype solution, visit **[this page](http://www.acronis.com/en-us/business/blockchain-notary/)**. “If its full potential is utilized, Blockchain technology will bring a level of authentication, privacy, and integrity to data protection that has not existed before,” said **Serguei Beloussov, founder and CEO of Acronis.** “Through the use of real-world applications, people will understand the power and potential of Blockchain for data protection, and we are convinced that Acronis solutions will help unlock this potential.” Article author: ZEBR.ai editorial team Read on ## More related articles [All articles](https://zebr.ai/en/blog) ### [ZEBR.AI: N-able introduces shadow AI identification into its UEM and security solutions](https://zebr.ai/en/blog/zebr-ai-n-able-introduces-shadow-ai-identification-into-its-uem-and-security-solutions) New capabilities provide visibility into the use of AI tools across all endpoints and networks by individual identities, without the need for additional agents or infrastructure 28/09/2026 · 3 min read ### [Acronis: Ransomware can halt production even without attacking PLC systems](https://zebr.ai/en/blog/acronis-ransomware-can-halt-production-even-without-attacking-plc-systems) For manufacturing companies, ransomware is not just a matter of IT security, but a matter of production continuity 23/09/2026 · 3 min read ### [GFI Archiver AI simplifies integration with GFI KerioConnect](https://zebr.ai/en/blog/gfi-archiver-ai-simplifies-integration-with-gfi-kerioconnect) Direct integration of both products makes working with corporate emails easier, improves mail server performance, and enables more effective compliance with regulations 21/09/2026 · 2 min read Contact ## Do you need a solution for yourself or for your client?
