When you migrate workloads to the cloud, your data is assumed clean. It might not be. Ransomware that has been staging undetected in your on-premises environment will travel with the data. Elastio hunts for threats in your data before, during, and after migration, so compromised data never poisons your cloud environment.
The migration risk
Migration tools move data. They do not inspect it. Cloud security tools protect the cloud environment. They do not verify the integrity of what was migrated. The gap between the source environment and the target environment is where threats survive the transition.
Ransomware that has been staging in your on-premises environment for weeks or months will be copied into your cloud environment during migration. The threat moves with the data. Your cloud is compromised from day one.
If your backup or replication data contains undetected threats, that compromised data becomes the foundation of your cloud recovery posture. You migrate the problem and build on top of it.
Cloud security tools protect the cloud environment: misconfigurations, identity, network. They do not inspect the content of the data you bring in. The data layer is assumed clean. That assumption is the risk.
How Elastio secures your migration
Before migration begins, Elastio inspects your live data, replicated data, and backups in the source environment. Elastio Hunt identifies any ransomware, malware, encryption anomalies, or persistence mechanisms in the data that is about to move. You know, before migration, whether your data is clean.
Inspect all data surfaces in the source environment
Identify threats across six threat surfaces per asset
Map which data is clean and which requires remediation
Produce a pre-migration integrity report
As workloads arrive in the target cloud environment, Elastio inspects the migrated data to confirm integrity was maintained through the migration process. No gaps between source verification and target deployment.
Inspect data in the target environment as it arrives
Compare source and target integrity states
Flag any data that changed or was compromised during transit
Continuous monitoring during the migration window
After migration completes, Elastio continues to hunt across your cloud data estate. The same verification that proved your data was clean at migration becomes your ongoing recovery assurance in the cloud.
Ongoing inspection of live data, replicated data, and backups
R-RPO measurement per asset in the cloud environment
Automated restore verification for cloud recovery points
Transition from migration security to continuous recovery assurance
Migration scenarios
Migrating VMware, Hyper-V, or physical workloads to EC2, EBS, and S3. Elastio inspects source data, verifies it as it lands in AWS, and connects to AWS Backup and native snapshots for ongoing protection.
Elastio on AWS→Moving workloads to Azure VMs, managed disks, and Azure Blob. Elastio verifies data integrity across the migration and integrates with Azure-native backup for continuous recovery assurance.
Elastio on Azure→Migrating to IBM Cloud VCF, IBM Cloud Object Storage, or IBM Power Virtual Server. Elastio inspects data pre-migration and provides ongoing integrity verification in the IBM Cloud environment.
Elastio on IBM Cloud→Moving workloads between cloud providers or between regions within the same provider. Elastio verifies data integrity at both ends, ensuring threats do not move with the data.
Platform overview→Who this is for
You own the migration plan. Migration security gives you provable data integrity at every stage, so you can sign off that the target environment is clean.
Platform overview→You sign off on the security posture of the migrated environment. Migration security gives you the evidence that no threats traveled with the data.
For CISOs→You execute the migration. Elastio deploys alongside your migration tooling with no agents and no performance impact. It verifies what you move.
