VMware ConnectorData Integrity Engine

Ensures that data is ransomware-free, consistent, and reliable throughout its lifecycle and verifies it does not contain zero-day ransomware, unauthorized encryption, and malware.

Elastio AWS Connector

The Elastio AWS Connector is a lightweight, cloud-native microservice designed to integrate seamlessly into customer AWS environments. It empowers security and infrastructure teams with actionable insights into ransomware exposure, facilitates early detection of zero-day ransomware threats, and ensures safe, efficient post-attack recovery.  See AWS cloud connector for more information.

Elastio Console

The Elastio Console is a centralized, web-based management interface that provides users a comprehensive view of their ransomware protection and recovery posture. It enables:

• Dashboard Insights: Visual summaries of 360 resilience, including ransomware threats, scan coverage, and recovery readiness.
• Policy Management: Configuration and enforcement of scanning policies across environments.
• Incident Response: Tools to identify and recover from ransomware attacks using clean recovery points.
• Reporting and Analytics: Detailed reports and metrics for compliance, auditing, and operational insights.

Elastio Proactive Support

Elastio Proactive Support is a customer-focused service designed to ensure optimal deployment, maintenance, and performance of Elastio solutions. It includes:

• Continuous Monitoring: Automated monitoring of cloud connector and VMware connector health and threats detected.
• Preemptive Updates: Regular updates to ransomware models, malware databases, and platform features to address emerging threats.
• Guided Recovery Assistance: Expert guidance to quickly restore clean backups in case of a ransomware attack.
• Customer Success Outreach: Regular check-ins to review deployment health, answer questions, and recommend improvements tailored to customer environments.

Elastio VMware Connector

The Elastio VMware Connector integrates seamlessly with VMware environments and third-party backups. It provides comprehensive ransomware detection, ensuring backup integrity and facilitating safe recovery.  See VMWare connector for more information.

Indication of Detonation

Describes observable evidence that ransomware has executed its malicious payload. Indicators of detonation might include encrypted files, unusual file modifications, unexpected processes, or outward-facing signs such as a ransom note or abnormal system behavior. Detecting indications of detonation is critical to initiating recovery and containment efforts.

Last Known Clean Copy

The last known clean copy is the most recent backup or storage, verified to be free of ransomware or corruption. It provides a trusted recovery point for rapid restoration after an attack.

Malware vs Ransomware

• Malware: Short for "malicious software," malware refers to any software intentionally designed to cause damage to a computer, server, client, or network. Malware includes viruses, worms, trojans, spyware, adware, and ransomware, among others. Its goals can vary, from stealing data to disrupting operations or gaining unauthorized access.
• Ransomware: A specific type of malware that encrypts the victim's files or locks them out of their systems, demanding a ransom payment (typically in cryptocurrency) to restore access. Unlike general malware, ransomware's primary focus is extortion through data encryption and financial gain.

Protected Data Types

Elastio scans files, databases, block storage, and object storage within storage or backups.

Ransomware Recovery Assurance

Elastio’s capability to validate storage and backups ensures the availability of clean, uninfected recovery points to minimize downtime and data loss in the event of an attack.

RansomwareIQ

Elastio’s AI/ML data integrity engine that powers Elastio's platform delivers 7 layers of ransomware defense to identify ransomware behavior at the data level, going beyond traditional signature-based and anomaly detection methods to detect threats early and precisely.

Zero-Day Ransomware

Refers to previously unknown ransomware tactics that are unknown in the market; these cannot be detected by Anti-virus and malware scanners.

Zero-Trust Scanning

The process of analyzing data outside the host operating system. It enables deep inspection of storage and backups without impacting live production environments or risking interference from compromised systems.
