Ransomware hides inside your Azure data. Elastio finds it.

Modern ransomware evades perimeter defenses. Attackers establish persistence, move laterally, and corrupt data before encryption starts. By the time it is visible, your recovery options are already compromised. Elastio detects early attack indicators across live, replicated, and backup data. Proves a clean recovery point exists before you need it.

What your existing Azure stack does not see

EDR and Microsoft Defender are evaded by modern ransomware. The attacker establishes persistence inside your data, in production systems, backup snapshots, and replicas, long before encryption starts. Elastio is the control that operates at the data layer.

  • EDRProtects the endpoint
  • Microsoft DefenderMonitors behavioral signals
  • Azure BackupCreates copies

Four things a CISO needs. All of them provable.

  1. 01

    Provable Recovery

    Every recovery point gets a verdict: clean or infected. Last known clean point identified per asset before you need it.

  2. 02

    Deep File Inspection

    Elastio opens and analyzes the file. Azure Backup confirms a copy exists. Defender monitors behavior. Neither looks inside. Elastio does.

  3. 03

    Custom Hunts

    IOCs discovered during investigation become platform rules. Write once in SQL, YARA, or Regex. Elastio runs it across every live workload, replica, and backup immediately. One rule. Full coverage.

  4. 04

    Continuous Compliance Evidence

    Timestamped proof that recovery points are clean, mapped to DORA, NYDFS, SEC, HIPAA, and NIS2. Report on demand.

Microsoft Defender integration

From security alert to confirmed evidence.

Defender gives you a signal. Elastio tells you what the attacker did inside your data and whether your recovery options are intact.

  1. 01
    Microsoft Defender for Cloud

    Security alert triggered

    Defender detects suspicious behavior, lateral movement, or a known malware signature on an Azure asset.

  2. 02
    Azure Event Grid

    Alert event published

    Defender publishes the alert to Event Grid. Elastio is subscribed and receives the finding automatically.

  3. 03
    Elastio Hunt Engine

    Deep File Inspection triggered

    Elastio opens and analyzes files on the affected asset, hunting for persistence, malware, and ransomware encryption at any stage.

  4. 04
    Elastio

    Evidence verdict returned

    Infected files identified. Blast radius quantified. Last known clean recovery point surfaced and ready for restore.

Azure Provable Recovery Program

Know your recovery posture before a crisis forces the question.

Elastio deploys against your Azure environment and hunts across your live data, replicated data, and backup data. You get a full picture of what is clean, what is compromised, and where your R-RPO stands per asset.

Most organizations discover their R-RPO is measured in days, not hours. The PoV surfaces that gap before your board, auditors, or regulators do.

Azure Provable Recovery Program

  1. 01

    Deploy

    Elastio connects to your Azure subscription. No agents. No production impact. Coverage across VMs, Managed Disks, Blob Storage, and Azure Backup vaults.

  2. 02

    Hunt

    The Hunt Engine runs across your live, replicated, and backup data, finding persistence, malware, and ransomware encryption at every stage of the attack lifecycle.

  3. 03

    Report

    You receive R-RPO per asset, last known clean recovery points, blast radius if threats are found, and a written recovery posture assessment.
