Partnership
RKON partnered with Elastio—the leading AI-powered platform for ransomware detection and recovery assurance, which scans and verifies backups for hidden threats—to deliver a layered, proactive, end-to-end cyber resilience solution. Elastio Ransomware Recovery Assurance Platform augments existing backup systems by scanning an validating backup data for hidden encryption and corruption. This approach ensures that if a recovery is needed, the data is clean, trustworthy, and ready. RKON deployed Elastio within the insurance company’s on-premises VMware infrastructure, which is protected by Veeam, another one of RKON’s strategic partners. Elastio provided immediate value without requiring a rip-and-replace of backup tools. It added ransomware-aware validation, threat detection, and clean recovery point identification to RKON’s data protection strategy.
Ransomware Detection in Backup Repositories
The insurance company needed to ensure its Veeam backups were not silently harboring ransomware. With Elastio deployed, backups are continuously scanned for ransomware signatures, giving the IT team early warning and the ability to isolate or remediate threats before initiating a restore.
Validating Backup Integrity Across VMware Workloads
Given the business-critical nature of their virtualized workloads, Elastio was used to validate that backup data within VMware environments is not only present but also intact. This proactive check ensures data can be reliably restored, reducing the risk of discovering corruption during a crisis.
Enhancing Incident Response with Clean Recovery Points
In the event of a suspected breach or ransomware attack, Elastio identifies the most recent clean backup, enabling faster, more confident recovery while avoiding reinfection.
Compliance-Ready Recovery Testing
RKON deployed Elastio to support the insurer’s regulatory requirements by providing automated, auditable proof that backups are clean and recoverable.
Golden Image Verification for OS Builds
RKON and Elastio helped automate the validation of golden images, ensuring that OS builds used for deployment cycles are ransomware free and secure before being put on the network.
