Ransomware hides
inside your AWS 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 persistence mechanisms and early attack indicators across live data, replicated data, and backup data, and proves a clean recovery point exists before you need it.

finds attackers before detonation
What your existing AWS stack does not see
EDR and GuardDuty 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.
Three things a CISO needs.
All of them provable.
Deep File Inspection
Elastio opens and inspects the file. AWS Backup confirms a copy exists. GuardDuty monitors behavior. Neither looks inside. Elastio does, across all 14 AWS services.
See the GuardDuty integrationProvable Recovery
Every recovery point gets a verdict: clean or infected. Last known clean point identified per asset before you need it. You know before you restore, not after.
Custom Hunts
IOCs discovered during forensic 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.
Continuous Compliance Evidence
Timestamped proof that recovery points are clean, mapped to DORA, NYDFS, SEC, and HIPAA. Report on demand.
From behavioral signal
to forensic confirmation.
GuardDuty fires a malware finding. You have a signal, not a confirmation. Elastio closes that gap automatically: deep file inspection on the affected asset surfaces the blast radius, when encryption began, and the last clean recovery point. From "something happened" to "here is exactly what happened."
Malware finding triggered
GuardDuty detects suspicious behavior or a known malware signature on an AWS asset.
Finding event published
GuardDuty publishes the malware finding to EventBridge. Elastio is subscribed to the event stream.
Deep file inspection triggered
Elastio automatically inspects the affected asset, opening files, examining content structure, and analyzing encryption patterns.
Forensic verdict returned
Infected files identified. Blast radius quantified. Last known clean recovery point surfaced.
Every surface where ransomware hides.
These are the data surfaces Elastio hunts across. Every one of them is unverified until the Hunt Engine runs. Every one of them becomes a provable recovery point after it does.
Agentless. In-account.
No data leaves your AWS environment.
Elastio deploys one Cloud Connector into a dedicated AWS account. That account becomes the centralized Hunt Engine for your entire estate. All other accounts feed into it via cross-account roles. One deployment covers every service, every region.

Prove your recovery readiness
against ransomware.
The AWS Ransomware Recovery Assurance Program runs a real-world ransomware simulation against your AWS backup estate, without touching production. You walk away with a written assessment of your Resilience RPO, your last clean recovery point per service, and exactly where your gaps are.
Most organizations discover their R-RPO is measured in days, not hours. This program surfaces that before your board, auditors, or regulators do.
Simulate
Real ransomware behavior injected into your AWS backup environment, isolated from production.
Hunt
Elastio inspects your AWS backup estate and identifies what is compromised and what is clean.
