Elastio Closes $18 Million in Series A Funding to Revolutionize Cloud Cyber Recovery

Elastio‘s unique, cloud native recovery assurance platform bridges the gap between data protection and cybersecurity in the cloud. The solution mitigates the risks left by threats that evade perimeter security tools and the inability of backups to recover due to the presence of ransomware, malware, or corruption. At a time when many organizations are focused on cloud cost optimization, Elastio customers are pleased to note that not only does Elastio improve their security posture, but they are also realizing up to an 80% reduction in storage costs, often rendering the Elastio platform as budget positive in as little as 90 days.

“The level of confidence we have in knowing we can recover by deploying Elastio made it a no-brainer decision,” says TJ Schoessow, SVP of Technology & Business Systems at CARET. “There is not another AWS native product providing the level of protection that Elastio is.It took less than 15 minutes to deploy and another hour or two to configure.We’re seeing savings due to the global deduplication and compression capabilities, but more importantly, we’re all sleeping better at night.”

“There is a fundamental shift in the market ensuring data integrity, cyber protection, and continuous recoverability for customers’ cloud operations,” says Ben Nye Managing Partner at Venture Guides. “Elastio has built a game-changing cloud native complement for AWS customers recognizing that backing up data and deploying perimeter security tools is no longer enough to ensure uninterrupted business operations.”
