NetApp and Elastio Enhance Ransomware Defense with New Partnership

On March 24, 2026, NetApp and Elastio announced a partnership to improve cyber resilience against ransomware. The collaboration integrates Elastio's Provable Recovery Control technology into NetApp's Ransomware Resilience Service, enhancing security at the storage layer. This partnership aims to detect ransomware that may have evaded initial security measures and resides within backup data. The service will provide continuous inspection of backups, ensuring recovery points are verified as clean. Marc Crudgington, CISO of Crane WW Logistics, emphasized the importance of backup security during infrastructure migration. The integration requires no separate procurement or architecture changes and is expected to be available soon. This initiative highlights the necessity of layered defenses in cybersecurity strategies.

Key Points: • NetApp and Elastio partner to enhance ransomware protection in storage systems. • Elastio's technology provides continuous backup inspection to ensure clean recovery points. • The integrated service requires no additional procurement or architecture changes.
