Claude
Use Claude as a natural-language interface to your Elastio ransomware telemetry. With the Elastio MCP Server powering Claude’s Model Context Protocol integration, you can ask Claude plain-English questions about ransomware exposure, clean recovery points, insider threats, and backup integrity—with answers grounded in your actual Elastio scan data.
Why This Matters
Security teams are overwhelmed with fragmented dashboards, manual threat triage, and slow reporting cycles—especially when preparing evidence for boards, regulators, and cyber insurers. Claude changes that.
Through Elastio’s MCP integration, Claude can provide:
- Instant explanations of ransomware risks across EC2, EBS, S3, and Kubernetes workloads
- Immediate retrieval of the last known clean recovery point for any asset
- Natural-language summaries of infected files, threat severity, and remediation steps
- Quick validation of recovery readiness across your infrastructure
Instead of searching logs or writing scripts, you simply ask Claude:
“Do I have any systems actively infected?”
“Which assets have no clean recovery points?”
“Show me the ransomware variants detected in my environment this week.”
Claude responds with contextual, real-time answers based on Elastio’s deterministic scan results.
Key Capabilities
- Native MCP Integration with Claude Desktop & Claude Web
Claude communicates directly with your Elastio MCP Server using Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol. - Natural-Language Threat Exploration
Interactively explore ransomware variants, file-level indicators, insider threats, and failed scans without dashboards. - Clean Recovery Point Identification
Ask Claude for the most recent validated recovery point for any asset—critical during a crisis. - Backup Integrity & Compliance Visibility
Uncover compromised backups, missing coverage, or assets without verified restore points. - Incident Response Assistance
Claude can summarize threats, identify severity, and outline recommended remediation workflows. - Automated Reporting
Generate short summaries or full reports on ransomware exposure, recovery readiness, or incident impact.
How It Works (High-Level Architecture)
- The Elastio MCP Server runs inside your environment and connects securely to your Elastio SaaS instance.
- Claude uses MCP to request deterministic telemetry—scan results, threat metadata, clean recovery points, etc.
- Elastio returns real-time data, identical to what appears in the Elastio UI.
- Claude interprets the data and provides human-readable explanations, summaries, and guidance.
- Your SOC, cloud, or IR team acts on Claude’s insights to validate recovery readiness or respond to active threats.
Note: Elastio never sends your data to Anthropic. Claude only reads metadata retrieved by your MCP Server running locally.
Deployment Scenarios / Use Cases
Security Operations & SOC Analysts
Claude becomes a conversational interface for discovering active threats, understanding variants, and reviewing infected paths.
Incident Response & Forensics
Instead of searching multiple tools, Claude can instantly summarize ransomware impact and available recovery points.
Backup & Recovery Teams
Quickly validate clean recovery point availability across workloads without navigating the Elastio console.
Compliance & Executive Reporting
Generate audit-ready, plain-language summaries of ransomware posture and recovery coverage.
Cloud Infrastructure & DevOps
Identify unmanaged assets, failed scans, or gaps in recovery assurance through natural-language queries.

Why Elastio + Claude vs Generic AI Assistants
Generic AI responses aren’t tied to your real security data.
Elastio + Claude gives you:
- Deterministic scan results → zero hallucination on data
- Real-time ransomware posture → not stale reports
- Automated recovery readiness validation → critical during incidents
- Faster decision-making → no dashboards or scripts
Claude becomes a trustworthy, context-aware ransomware advisor.
