What is artificial intelligence (AI) in security?

AI in security refers to using techniques such as machine learning to analyze large volumes of data, detect patterns, and identify threats faster and at greater scale than manual analysis allows. It is widely used for anomaly detection, malware classification, and alert triage.

Elastio applies AI where it is most decisive: an ensemble of detection models, trained on thousands of ransomware families and variants, inspects inside files to identify ransomware with 99.995% precision. AI agents can also query Elastio directly through its MCP Server to assess asset risk and find clean recovery points.
