Your backups exist. Proof that they are clean does not.
Elastio hunts inside every VMware backup the moment it is created. Deep File Inspection detects zero-day ransomware, malware, and insider threats inside file content. Fully automated. Works with every major backup vendor. No changes to your backup jobs or policies.
Supported backup platforms
- Veeam
- Commvault
- Cohesity
- Rubrik
- Veritas NetBackup
Prove your recovery point is clean before you need it
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 confirm 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.
EDR
Protects the endpoint
Network detection
Monitors traffic and perimeter
Backup vendor
Creates copies. Does not open them.
None of these controls open the files inside your VMware backups. Elastio does.
Connect. Hunt. Prove.
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.
01Backup created
Backup created
Your backup vendor creates a recovery point on its normal schedule. Nothing changes. Elastio watches for new recovery points via native API.
02Hunt Engine hunts
Hunt Engine hunts
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.
03Recovery point scored
Recovery point scored
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 evidence gives SOC and IR teams threat classification, affected files, blast radius, and timeline.
Works with what you already use
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.

Defensible posture for the board, auditors, and regulators
Provable Recovery
Clear, auditable confirmation that recovery points are safe to restore. Not assumed. Proven.
Continuous, automated proof
Hunt runs on every new VMware backup the moment it is created. No scheduled jobs. No manual triggers. The recovery posture is always current.
Last known clean recovery point
The Hunt Engine continuously maintains the most recent recovery point confirmed free of threats. When an incident occurs, the answer is already there.
Threat evidence for SOC and IR teams
When a threat is detected, Elastio provides detailed evidence: threat classification, affected files, blast radius, and timeline. SOC and IR teams get what they need to investigate and remediate without guessing.
Regulatory and audit alignment
Supports recovery-focused mandates including DORA, NYDFS, and HIPAA with objective, evidence-based recovery validation.
Board and executive defensibility
Provable evidence that recovery plans are validated, not theoretical. Answer the board question before they ask it.
Prove your VMware backups are clean
No agents. No job changes. Fully automated. Elastio proves your VMware backups are clean before you need them.
