Elastio, a leading provider of ransomware recovery assurance solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with Magna5, a managed IT and cybersecurity services provider. The collaboration is set to enhance Magna5’s Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) offering by integrating Elastio’s advanced ransomware detection and recovery capabilities. This initiative aims to ensure businesses can swiftly and securely recover from cyberattacks, mitigating the growing risks posed by ransomware threats.
Addressing the Rising Threat of Ransomware
Cyberattacks, particularly ransomware incidents, continue to escalate, with businesses increasingly targeted by sophisticated threats that can remain undetected for months. Many organizations are unaware of ransomware infections in their backup systems, leaving them vulnerable to compromised data when attempting recovery. The partnership between Elastio and Magna5 directly addresses this issue by providing continuous monitoring, early threat detection, and ensuring that clean, uncompromised backup copies are always available.
Enhancing Data Protection and Recovery
At the core of this partnership is the integration of Elastio’s Ransomware Recovery Assurance Platform into Magna5’s managed backup services. This solution continuously scans and validates backup data, identifying hidden ransomware before it can cause damage. By leveraging machine learning and zero-trust principles, the platform ensures businesses have access to a last-known clean copy of their data, significantly improving recovery reliability.
Key features of the integrated solution include:
- Automated Ransomware Detection: Identifies known and emerging threats within backup environments, reducing recovery risks.
- Zero-Trust Architecture: Inspects backup data without reliance on potentially compromised workloads, enhancing security.
- Continuous Validation: Ensures businesses always have a trusted, clean recovery point available.
