NetApp, Elastio to deliver defence-in-depth

NetApp, the intelligent data infrastructure company, and Elastio are helping enterprises enhance their cyber resilience with a layered defence that extends from production storage into recovery data.

According to NetApp, security teams must be ready to address threats at every layer of their technology stack, including advanced ransomware. Advanced ransomware is engineered to evade prevention tools, moving quietly through production, staying below detection thresholds, becoming part of backup data before any alert is triggered.

"As we migrated our infrastructure, ensuring we had the right level of backup security and assurance was non-negotiable,” said Marc Crudgington, VP IT Infrastructure and CISO, Crane Worldwide Logistics, which has a presence in Asia.

“Elastio provided continuous inspection of our backups from day one - giving us confidence in our ability to recover. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to."

NetApp and Elastio are embedding Elastio’s Provable Recovery Control into the NetApp Ransomware Resilience Service as Powered by Elastio, adding deep file inspection of snapshots. Together, the service delivers end-to-end resilience from ransomware detection through recovery – using recovery points that are continuously verified as clean.

"Storage needs to be part of the conversation when defining a holistic cybersecurity strategy,” noted Gagan Gulati, Senior VP and GM of Data Services at NetApp.

“By protecting data where it lives, we make storage a priority to combat cyberthreats like ransomware. But the stakes for business resilience and operational continuity are too high to rely on a single layer of defence. By collaborating with Elastio, we’re giving enterprises another tool to protect their most critical asset: data.”

Through this collaboration, both companies are enhancing cyber resilience for customers by embedding Elastio Provable Recovery Control directly into the NetApp Ransomware Resilience Service with no separate procurement and no architecture changes. The NetApp Ransomware Resilience Service Powered by Elastio comprises:

- NetApp Ransomware Resilience Service: Detects and contains ransomware at the data layer in real time, takes immutable snapshots, guides recovery, and continuously assesses ransomware posture across ONTAP environments. Includes behavioral detection via Autonomous Ransomware Protection (ARP).

- Elastio Provable Recovery Control: Deep file inspection of ONTAP snapshots, detecting zero-day ransomware, staged malware, and stealth corruption that have evaded perimeter controls. It will continuously identify the last known clean recovery points.

"Most organisations discover their recovery data is compromised at the worst possible moment: during an active incident,” Naj Husain, CEO, Elastio said.

“By then the question of whether backups are clean is no longer theoretical. The joint solution answers that question continuously, before the incident forces it."

The NetApp Ransomware Resilience Service Powered by Elastio is planned for availability for the near future, starting with Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, followed by other ONTAP environments. Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP is a fully-managed cloud service that provides reliable, scalable, high-performing, and feature-rich file storage built on NetApp's ONTAP file system. 

Enterprise organisations interested in early access can contact their NetApp or Elastio representative to assess their current recovery posture.
