Elastio Delivers Zero-Day Ransomware Detection and Provable Recovery for IBM Cloud Object Storage
Which objects are compromised. Which are clean. Where recovery starts. Elastio answers all three.
Object storage is not built to inspect what is written to it. Ransomware and insider threats can exploit that gap deliberately, moving slowly over days or weeks to avoid detection thresholds. By the time an incident surfaces, the scope of compromise is often unknown and recovery cannot start.
As enterprises face increasing threats, Elastio announced support for IBM Cloud Object Storage (IBM COS), designed to deliver ransomware detection and provable recovery for the object storage environments enterprises use for financial records, healthcare archives, and AI training data.
What Elastio Delivers for IBM COS
Elastio uses Deep Object Inspection to examine stored objects directly. When a threat is detected, four outcomes follow:
- Immediate threat context. Compromised objects are tagged with detection type, timestamp, and severity, surfaced in the Elastio portal and forwarded to your SIEM. Responders know the scope from the first alert.
- A provable recovery point. Elastio identifies the Last Known Clean (LNC) state by scanning backward through prior object versions. The recovery point is verified, timestamped, and auditable before the restore begins.
- Controlled recovery. Restores execute manually via console or automatically via policy, from the same platform that made the detection.
- Forensic isolation (upcoming). Compromised objects will be quarantined to a separate bucket outside the original permission boundary, enabling analysis without operational disruption.
"IBM Cloud Object Storage holds the data enterprises rely on most. With Elastio, security teams can identify exactly which objects are clean, establish a verified recovery point, and restore with confidence."
- Najaf Husain, CEO, Elastio

Elastio is available now as a tile in the IBM Cloud Catalog. No changes to storage architecture or application workflows are required. Contact ibm@elastio.com for a product briefing or proof-of-concept engagement.
About Elastio
Elastio delivers ransomware detection and provable recovery for cloud environments. Its platform inspects live data, replicated data, and backups for zero-day ransomware, insider threats, and malware, and identifies a verified recovery point before a restore begins. Elastio serves enterprise and regulated-industry customers who require security controls that extend into the data layer.
Can you prove your recovery points are clean?
Your board will ask if you can recover clean. This checklist lets you answer with evidence.
