Your VMware environment has layers of protection. EDR on the endpoint. Network detection at the perimeter. Backup vendors creating copies on schedule. But none of these controls open the files inside your backups to confirm the data is clean.
Ransomware that establishes persistence before detection catches it gets backed up as part of normal operations. Your backup vendor copies the data. It does not verify the data is free of threats.
When you need to recover, the threat is already inside the recovery point. The CISO is accountable for recovery, but has no evidence the backup is safe to restore.
None of these controls open the files inside your VMware backups. Elastio does.
The Elastio Backup Connector installs on your vSphere host and connects to your backup platform via native vendor API. Every time a backup is created, the Hunt Engine automatically performs Deep File Inspection of the file content inside the recovery point. No agents in guest VMs. No changes to backup jobs or policies. Production workloads are not touched.
Your backup vendor creates a recovery point on its normal schedule. Nothing changes. Elastio watches for new recovery points via native API.
Elastio mounts the recovery point and performs Deep File Inspection of every file. Detects zero-day ransomware, staged malware, and insider threats using an ensemble of detection models trained on 2,300+ families and 10,000+ variants.
Each recovery point is classified as clean or compromised. The Hunt Engine maintains the last known clean recovery point. When a threat is found, detailed forensics give SOC and IR teams threat classification, affected files, blast radius, and timeline.
Elastio connects to your existing backup platform via native vendor API. No backup job changes. No policy changes. Elastio mounts recovery points directly from backup storage and hunts inside them. The data is never rehydrated or copied.
Clear, auditable confirmation that recovery points are safe to restore. Not assumed. Proven.
See the platform →Every new VMware backup is inspected the moment it is created. No scheduled jobs. No manual triggers. The recovery posture is always current.
The Hunt Engine continuously maintains the most recent recovery point confirmed free of threats. When an incident occurs, the answer is already there.
Learn about the Hunt Engine →When a threat is detected, Elastio provides detailed forensic evidence: threat classification, affected files, blast radius, and timeline. SOC and IR teams get what they need to investigate and remediate without guessing.
See the SOC solution →Supports recovery-focused mandates including DORA, NYDFS, and HIPAA with objective, evidence-based recovery validation.
Read: How Elastio helps with DORA compliance →Provable evidence that recovery plans are validated, not theoretical. Answer the board question before they ask it.
See the CISO solution →No agents. No job changes. Fully automated. Elastio proves your VMware backups are clean before you need them.
