Commvault protects the backup. Elastio proves what is inside. Deep File Inspection detects zero-day ransomware, slow encryption, and threats that Commvault's threat scan was not built to see.
Commvault stores backups, enforces retention, auto-tiers across storage targets, and runs threat scans for known malware signatures. These are strong controls. None of them inspect the content of a file for threats that have no known signature.
If ransomware encrypted files before the backup was taken, Commvault 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.
Commvault is a strong enterprise backup platform with broad workload coverage and integrated compliance workflows.
Hybrid data protection with centralized policy management across SaaS, cloud, and on-premise environments from a single console.
Automated data movement across storage tiers, including cloud, disk, and tape, optimizing cost and retention compliance.
Built-in compliance automation for regulatory frameworks with retention policies, legal hold, and audit trails.
Scans backup data for known malware signatures and monitors for anomalous patterns in backup metadata that may indicate an encryption event.
Threat scanning checks for known signatures. Modern ransomware is designed to evade it.
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.
Identifies intermittent and partial encryption that accumulates below detection thresholds across backup windows. The attack pattern threat scanning 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 Commvault environment.
Deep File Inspection finds zero-day ransomware, slow encryption, and threats that threat scanning misses. Prove your posture across all data surfaces.
R-RPO, Verified Data, and Provable Recovery across every Commvault 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.

Commvault creates backups, enforces retention, and manages tiered recovery across on-premise, cloud, and Metallic SaaS environments. Nothing changes.
Elastio integrates via Commvault's native APIs through the Elastio Backup Connector. Automatically inventories backup jobs and mounts recovery points for inspection.
Deep File Inspection runs against Commvault backup data after each backup job completes. Identifies ransomware, malware, and threats that threat scanning 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 Commvault.
Elastio runs real attack simulations against your Commvault backup data, including slow encryption, zero-day variants, and partial encryption, to show what threat scanning misses. Most assessments complete within days. Your data. Your environment. Real results.
