Node4 teams up with Elastio to fight ransomware

The collaboration also complements the MSP’s N4Backup Veeam Cloud Connect solution

Node4 has partnered with cybersecurity vendor Elastio to strengthen ransomware protection for customers.

The collaboration ensures the integrity of Veeam recovery points, minimising post-attack data loss and downtime.

The duo will address threats 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.

"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," said Elastio CEO Najaf Husain.

"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."

By integrating Elastio's anti-ransomware technology, the MSP not only fortifies its defence mechanisms but also ensures its clients are equipped with the necessary tools for both disaster recovery and cyber recovery.

Node4's collaboration with Elastio also complements its N4Backup Veeam Cloud Connect solution, enhancing its offerings to businesses utilising Veeam Backup and Recovery software.

Mark Skelton, chief technology & strategy officer at Node4 added: "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."
