Node4, a cloud-led digital transformation Managed Services Provider (MSP), has announced a strategic partnership with cybersecurity company, Elastio.
This collaboration is set to provide Node4 customers with enhanced protection against ransomware by ensuring the integrity of Veeam recovery points, minimising post-attack data loss and downtime.
Backups are crucial for protecting against ransomware, but modern threats can infiltrate and hide within data without being detected. This can lead businesses to inadvertently back up compromised data, which leaves them vulnerable when they need to recover from an attack. Node4 and Elastio’s partnership addresses this issue by allowing Node4 clients to continuously check the integrity of their Veeam backups. This ensures any breaches are detected early and guarantees that recovery can occur from clean, uncompromised data.
Najaf Husain, CEO of Elastio, comments, “Ransomware is a scourge that is not going away any time soon, and we’re seeing increasingly sophisticated threat actors use tactics to compromise backups. The new standard has to be for businesses to not only be prepared for disaster recovery, but for cyber recovery. That means ensuring that your backups are clean and recoverable. We are excited to be working with Node4 to bring our anti-ransomware for backups technology to their clients so that they can be ransomware ready.
Elastio’s RansomwareIQ AI/ML engine performs deep file-level inspections on Veeam backups, detecting ransomware encryption that bypasses other solutions with 99.99% accuracy. In the event of an attack, it automatically directs you to a clean recovery point to streamline business continuity.
Mark Skelton, Chief Technology & Strategy Officer at Node4, emphasises the importance of robust cybersecurity measures, stating, “In today’s digital age, effective and reliable backups are crucial for business continuity. Our partnership with Elastio ensures that our clients not only have state-of-the-art backup solutions, but also the assurance that these backups are uncompromised by ransomware. We are committed to empowering our clients to be resilient and ready in the face of evolving cyber threats.”
Node4’s collaboration with Elastio also complements its N4Backup Veeam Cloud Connect solution, enhancing its offerings to businesses utilising Veeam Backup and Recovery software.
This strategic initiative is part of Node4’s ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive, end-to-end services that support UK businesses in their transition to secure, cloud-based infrastructures. By integrating Elastio’s anti-ransomware technology, Node4 not only fortifies its defence mechanisms, but also ensures its clients are equipped with the necessary tools for both disaster recovery and cyber recovery.
