About Elastio · Ransomware security
Find the attacker. Before they take the data.
Used by enterprises worldwide, Elastio combines attacker-led research, direct examination of enterprise data, and agentic investigation to find compromises and guide recovery.
Our mission is to uncover compromises before exfiltration and encryption, and help enterprises protect and recover mission-critical data across databases, VMs, files, and object storage.
01
Three years inside ransomware.
We began with a question: can an organization recover if ransomware gets through? Even an immutable backup could contain encrypted files, malware, or attacker persistence.
We spent three years reverse engineering ransomware to understand how attackers encrypt, corrupt, and hide damage. That research became Hunt: detection and recovery intelligence that helps customers understand what is inside their copies and identify recovery candidates.
Customers pushed us earlier, before backup, before vaulting, and before damage spread. Our analysis expanded across live data, replicated data, and backups. It also laid the foundation for Pursuit: investigating attacker footholds before encryption.
02
Agentic investigation, grounded in evidence.
AI helps attackers develop malicious code, adapt techniques, and automate attacks. Enterprises need to investigate more systems, more often, and act faster.
Pursuit combines our ransomware expertise with analysis tools and AI agents that carry investigations forward. They examine code, configuration, credentials, files, and system records. An agent may find a suspicious startup setting, follow it to a script, examine its behavior, and seek records showing whether it ran. It tests explanations and follows new leads to reach a supported finding.
Each finding explains what was found, why it matters, and what remains uncertain, with links to source evidence. Security teams can examine the reasoning. SIEM and SOAR integrations bring findings into workflows for people and configured automation to act.
Pursuit’s analysis approach is patent pending. It examines machine images and snapshots outside the inspected host, without installing a Pursuit agent on it. As AI models improve, we apply them within a system built on our research, tools, and investigation methods.
03
Make investigation routine. Connect it to recovery.
Pursuit repeats investigations on configured events or schedules: before deployment, during operation, after remediation, and before recovery. Guided response plans connect findings to related-system investigations, customer-executed actions, and follow-up evidence.
Across supported databases, VMs, file systems, and object storage, Elastio examines the systems and data enterprises depend on. Pursuit investigates system copies for evidence of compromise. Hunt analyzes live data, replicated data, and backups for ransomware, malware, and corruption.
Our vision is to make the depth of incident investigation an everyday enterprise capability, wherever organizations build, run, change, and recover systems.
We are building toward a fully agentic workflow connecting investigation, response, and recovery. Agents will carry more of the work between finding a compromise, taking permitted action, assessing remediation, and identifying recovery candidates.
One connected record will show what was found, what action followed, and which copies remain candidates for recovery. People set permissions and oversee consequential decisions.
Our security practitioners, data scientists, and infrastructure engineers share one mandate: help enterprises find compromises earlier and respond and recover with evidence.
