Ransomware attackers target backups directly, embedding malicious code into recovery data undetected. For a regulated financial services firm, this creates two compounding risks: compromised recovery points and compliance exposure.
"I wanted to be absolutely certain our backups were safe to use in a recovery scenario. I wanted a dedicated layer of ransomware protection that ensures our data is free of threats without disrupting operations."
Bob Craven, Technical Services Manager
When RKON recommended Elastio, Craven recognized the approach immediately. The Hunt Engine performs Deep File Inspection on Veeam backups, detecting hidden threats and verifying data integrity at a depth that traditional tools cannot reach.
The Hunt Engine does not rely on signatures or anomaly detection alone. It inspects inside the file, uncovering actual malicious artifacts including zero-day threats.
Elastio's vendor-agnostic capability works across backup platforms, ensuring the firm's protection strategy can evolve without vendor lock-in.
"Elastio Platform's ability to inspect data offline was a game-changer for us. It offers peace of mind without compromising our production systems, a rare and invaluable feature."
Bob Craven, Technical Services Manager
The firm now operates with automated daily Deep File Inspection of all Veeam backups. Backup integrity is verified continuously, providing confidence that recovery data is clean without manual effort.
