Elastio publishes three numbers: 48,000+ ransomware threats stopped, 4,000+ malware artifacts intercepted, and zero ransoms paid. This page explains what each number means, how it is counted, and what it does not include.
The Numbers
Each entry covers: what counts, what does not count, and what the number does not claim.
Limitations
Security vendor numbers should be interrogated. Here is where ours stop.
No detection system does. Models are updated continuously as new ransomware families emerge. The ensemble is not static.
The Hunt Engine operates on data at rest. Prevention belongs to EDR, firewalls, and identity controls. Elastio's role begins when those controls fail.
Industry vendors often count the same threat found across multiple locations or time periods as separate incidents. Elastio deduplicates by source asset and artifact hash. These numbers are conservative.
Numbers are updated annually. If the methodology changes, Elastio will disclose the change and restate prior numbers under the new methodology.
