Cohesity protects the backup. Elastio proves what is inside. Deep File Inspection detects zero-day ransomware, slow encryption, and threats that DataHawk and anomaly detection were not built to see. Also covers Veritas NetBackup environments.
Cohesity stores deduplicated snapshots, enforces retention policies, and runs DataHawk threat intelligence. These are strong controls. None of them inspect the content of a file for threats that have no known signature or intelligence match.
If ransomware encrypted files before the snapshot was taken, Cohesity faithfully preserves a protected copy of compromised data. The backup did its job. The threat is inside.
The question is not whether your backups are protected. It is whether they are clean.
Cohesity is a strong data management and backup platform with integrated threat intelligence capabilities.
Policy-driven backup and recovery with efficient storage utilization across on-premise and cloud targets.
Integrates threat intelligence feeds and anomaly detection to flag suspicious changes in backup data patterns.
Monitors backup metadata for statistical deviations in file counts, change rates, and entropy scores that may indicate encryption activity.
Automated backup scheduling, retention, and tiering across hybrid environments with centralized management.
DataHawk and anomaly detection monitor for statistical deviations. Modern ransomware is designed to evade them.
Elastio closes the gap between backup protection and backup verification.
Inspects inside the file content. Not metadata. Not entropy. The actual data. Every file in every recovery point.
Ensemble of detection models trained on 2,300+ ransomware families and 10,000+ variants. 99.995% precision. Catches threats that have no known signature or threat intelligence match.
Identifies intermittent and partial encryption that accumulates below anomaly thresholds across backup windows. The attack pattern DataHawk structurally cannot see.
Continuous recovery readiness. The CISO knows the actual recovery posture at any point in time, not the timestamp of the last successful backup job.
Every inspected recovery point produces enumerated evidence of what was checked, what was found, and what is clean. Recovery you can prove, not recovery you assume.
One inspects. One infers.
Elastio delivers three measurable outcomes across your Cohesity environment.
Deep File Inspection finds zero-day ransomware, slow encryption, and threats that DataHawk and anomaly detection miss. Prove your posture across all data surfaces.
R-RPO, Verified Data, and Provable Recovery across every Cohesity recovery point. Continuous proof that recovery works.
Enumerated evidence for DORA, NYDFS, SEC, and board reporting. Every inspection produces proof you can share with regulators, insurers, and auditors.
Cohesity acquired Veritas data protection in 2024, bringing NetBackup into the Cohesity portfolio. Organizations running NetBackup are now part of the Cohesity ecosystem.
Elastio performs Deep File Inspection across NetBackup recovery points with the same coverage as Cohesity DataProtect: zero-day ransomware detection, slow encryption detection, R-RPO measurement, and Provable Recovery. If your environment runs NetBackup, whether on-premise, in the cloud, or migrating to Cohesity DataProtect, Elastio covers it.
One integration. Both platforms. No gap in coverage during or after migration.

Cohesity DataProtect creates snapshots, enforces retention, and manages recovery across on-premise and cloud workloads. Nothing changes.
Elastio connects to Cohesity DataProtect snapshots at the storage layer. No agents. No data movement. No changes to Cohesity policies.
Deep File Inspection runs against Cohesity backup data. Identifies ransomware, malware, and threats that anomaly detection and DataHawk cannot see, including zero-day variants and slow encryption.
Verified Data and R-RPO are delivered to the security operations team. Clean recovery points identified with evidence. Compromised points flagged with classification detail.
Everything a CISO, CTO, or security architect needs to evaluate Elastio alongside Cohesity.
Elastio runs real attack simulations against your Cohesity backup data, including slow encryption, zero-day variants, and partial encryption, to show what DataHawk misses. Most assessments complete within days. Your data. Your environment. Real results.
