Provable Recovery
Every object gets a verdict: clean or compromised. The Last Known Clean state is identified per object and per bucket before you need it.
Ransomware hides inside your IBM Cloud Object Storage. Elastio finds it.
A single compromised credential reaches IBM COS silently. Objects corrupted in small batches. No alert fires. By the time you know, clean and compromised data coexist in the same bucket. Elastio finds the threat, identifies the last clean state, and proves recovery before you need it.
NewRead the IBM announcement: Zero-day ransomware detection for IBM Cloud Object StorageA security control for your object storage.
Deep Object Inspection
Elastio opens and analyzes each object, examining encryption behavior and structure to detect zero-day ransomware without known-signature dependence. Known malware is caught by signature analysis.
Continuous Compliance Evidence
Hunt results are timestamped, tagged with severity, and forwarded to your SIEM. Mapped to DORA, NYDFS, SEC, and HIPAA. Report on demand.
No perimeter alert fires. Elastio operates at the object layer.
A compromised credential gives an attacker full write access. IBM Activity Tracker records that writes occurred. Not what they contained. By the time failures surface, the infection window spans weeks. Elastio closes that gap.
IBM’s own research: Public cloud breaches carry the highest average breach cost: USD 5.17M. Multi-environment breaches take 283 days to identify and contain.
- 01Attacker
Credential compromise
A service account or API key is compromised. No alert fires. The attacker has full read/write access to IBM COS.
- 02Ransomware
Slow encryption begins
Objects are encrypted in small batches over days or weeks. IBM Activity Tracker logs the writes. No content analysis occurs. Anomaly thresholds are not triggered.
- 03Elastio Hunt Engine
Deep Object Inspection triggered
Elastio opens and analyzes each object, detecting zero-day encryption behavior and known malware signatures. Compromised objects are identified with timestamp and severity.
- 04ElastioCONFIRMED
Last Known Clean state identified
Elastio walks backward through prior object states. Recovery starts from a proven, timestamped, auditable clean point. Blast radius is quantified.
Bounded incident. Defensible recovery.
Three questions every incident command call opens with: which objects are compromised, when did it start, and where does recovery begin. Elastio answers all three before the call ends.
- 01
Immediate threat context
Compromised objects tagged with detection type, timestamp, and severity. Forwarded to your SIEM. Scope and timing known from the first alert.
- 02
A provable recovery point
Elastio walks backward through prior object states. Last Known Clean identified per object. Recovery starts from a proven, timestamped, auditable state.
- 03
Controlled recovery
Restores execute via the Elastio console or automatically via policy, from the same platform that made the detection. Recovery time is bounded by the workflow.
- 04
Quarantine isolation
Compromised objects quarantined to a separate bucket outside the original permission boundary. Artifact-level analysis without operational disruption. Upcoming release.
- 05
Re-hunt on new indicators
When a new indicator emerges, Hunt re-runs across the buckets you already hold and tells you whether prior object states are affected.
Agentless. In-instance. No data leaves your IBM Cloud environment.
Elastio deploys as a tile from the IBM Cloud Catalog into a dedicated IBM Cloud instance. That instance becomes the centralized Hunt Engine for your entire COS estate across all regions. No changes to storage architecture or application workflows are required.

Know what is clean. Before recovery depends on it.
Elastio deploys in minutes via Terraform. No agents. No changes to storage architecture or application workflows.
Deep Object Inspection runs on a continuous schedule across every bucket, with full and incremental-forever options, at a cost that makes complete coverage practical. All ransomware and malware findings are sent to your SIEM with detailed threat intelligence.
You receive Last Known Clean state per object, blast radius if threats are found, and a written recovery posture assessment.
