Splunk

Integration Overview

The Elastio + Splunk integration brings deep backup and cloud-storage integrity intelligence into the Splunk platform, enabling Security Operations teams to detect, investigate, and respond to ransomware with precision. Elastio’s inspection engine continuously analyzes backups, snapshots, and object storage for ransomware encryption, corruption, and anomalous change patterns. These findings are streamed into Splunk as structured events, turning Splunk into the single source of truth for data-recoverability intelligence. Analysts can correlate compromised-recovery events with broader threat activity, enrich detections, automate workflows, and validate recoverability without leaving Splunk.

Integration Benefits

Centralized ransomware recovery assurance
Monitor the real-time health and integrity of backups and cloud storage within Splunk dashboards, searches, and alerts.

Accelerated incident response
Surface Elastio’s “last known clean” recovery point inside Splunk to guide responders directly to safe restore options—eliminating guesswork during crises.

Advanced correlation for threat hunting
Enrich Splunk searches and detection rules by combining Elastio’s integrity anomalies—which often bypass EDR—with endpoint, identity, and network telemetry to reveal stealthy ransomware activity.

Audit-ready compliance evidence
Automatically store all scan results, clean/dirty determinations, and recoverability proofs in Splunk for NYDFS, DORA, NIST, and cyber-insurance reporting.

Better Together

Elastio uniquely inspects data at rest—within backups and storage layers that traditional detection tools overlook—identifying ransomware encryption, silent corruption, and tampering before recovery begins. This establishes a dynamic “Ransomware RPO” (R-RPO), providing clarity on which recovery points are clean and which are compromised.

Splunk serves as the analytics powerhouse for security operations, ingesting massive telemetry streams, powering correlation searches, and orchestrating automated response actions.

Together, Elastio and Splunk transform recoverability from an afterthought into a core security control. By continuously feeding Splunk high-fidelity recovery intelligence, the SOC gains instant visibility into compromised backups, the ability to trigger automated playbooks, and a guided path to the clean recovery point required to safely restore operations.

Use Case Overview: Proving Clean Recovery in the SOC

Organizations often discover too late—during restoration—that their backups contain encrypted or corrupted data. This integration provides Splunk analysts with immediate insight into which recovery points are trustworthy.

Challenge

Backup blind spots
SIEMs see endpoint and network threats but not whether backups are clean or have already been hit by ransomware.

Slow and risky restorations
Responders waste critical time scanning backups manually, risking reinfection by restoring a compromised snapshot.

Fragmented compliance evidence
Auditors expect proof of recoverability, but backup integrity data typically lives outside the SOC’s visibility.

Solution

Real-time integrity streaming
Elastio automatically forwards ransomware detections, corruption findings, and clean/dirty status tags into Splunk as searchable events.

Guided recovery workflows
Splunk dashboards can display clean-vs-compromised timelines aligned with Elastio’s R-RPO, helping IR teams pinpoint safe restore points instantly.

Continuous compliance monitoring
Splunk retains a full history of integrity scans and validation events, providing exportable evidence for regulatory and insurance requirements.
