Cloud-Native AWS Architecture
Elastio’s architecture for AWS is a true cloud-native solution, purpose-built to deliver seamless ransomware protection and recovery assurance at scale.
- Key Architectural Components: Elastio employs a scale-out, scale-to-zero scanning cluster, ensuring high efficiency with no ongoing management required. This low-cost, fully automated design minimizes operational overhead for customers.
- Scans Secured in Customer Network: All ransomware and data integrity scans occur entirely within the customer’s network, maintaining security and compliance without transferring sensitive data out of their environment.
- Secure and Automatic Updates: Elastio supports secure, automatic updates to its ransomware detection models and scanning capabilities, ensuring customers are always protected against the latest threats.
- Agentless Operation: Elastio operates without agents, eliminating the need for additional installations on production workloads that increase the attack surface and management.
-
Secure Console: Scan results are sent to the customer’s SaaS console, providing actionable insights, visibility into data health, and ransomware readiness reporting. This centralized console ensures organizations can monitor their recovery posture with ease and confidence.
