Elastio partners with Advance2000 to enhance ransomware recovery assurance

In a significant development in the field of cybersecurity, Elastio, a leader in ransomware recovery assurance, announced a strategic partnership with Advance2000, a prominent provider of private cloud infrastructure and managed IT services, on May 27, 2025. This collaboration marks the introduction of the Advance2000 Ransomware Recovery Assurance Platform, which is designed to bolster business continuity and enhance cyber resilience for clients utilizing A2K's secure cloud environment. By integrating Elastio's technology with Veeam backup solutions, this platform enables clients to detect potential ransomware encryption and data corruption in backup data effectively. The partnership aims to address the critical challenges organizations face when dealing with ransomware attacks, as modern tactics can infiltrate systems stealthily, encrypting data over extended periods. Such tactics can lead organizations to unknowingly backup compromised data, complicating recovery efforts. To counteract these risks, the Advance2000 Ransomware Recovery Assurance Platform features advanced capabilities such as automated scanning of Veeam backups, expert ransomware detection powered by Elastio’s machine learning engine, and retroactive scanning for older backups to ensure recovery points are secure before restoration. Christopher Sauer, the Global Vice President of Strategic Alliances at Elastio, emphasized the importance of A2K’s reputation as a secure cloud provider, particularly in sectors where uptime and data protection are crucial. He noted that by embedding Elastio’s advanced scanning capabilities into their services, Advance2000 is adding an essential layer of assurance against ransomware threats. This collaborative effort not only reinforces A2K’s position in the industry but also demonstrates a shared commitment to redefining how organizations approach ransomware recovery and resilience. Brian Maouad, CEO of Advance2000, expressed that modern cyber threats extend beyond simply having backups; they also necessitate a proactive stance toward assurance. The integrated offerings are expected to deliver substantial benefits to customers, such as reduced recovery times, improved compliance, and enhanced cyber resilience against evolving ransomware threats. This partnership between Elastio and Advance2000 signifies a pivotal move towards more secure and reliable data recovery strategies in the face of escalating cyber attacks, providing organizations greater confidence in their ability to recover swiftly and securely from potential ransomware incidents.
