Eon, the next-generation cloud backup solution, is unveiling the first cloud-native package designed to protect cloud-based companies from the rampant risks and impact of ransomware attacks. Delivering full-spectrum protection—from prevention to detection and rapid recovery, engineered for immediate recovery—Eon’s platform combines speed and security for organizations navigating modern cloud environments.
Eon’s release of its cloud-native package highlights the present gap between protection solutions and the cloud. According to Dr. Assaf Natanzon, chief architect, at Eon, “Traditional ransomware protection was designed for on-prem environments, where data is static, infrastructure is manually managed, and security relies on fixed perimeters. These systems were built for predictable, slow-moving environments with centralized control and limited attack surfaces.”
“Multi-cloud environments operate in a completely different way,” continued Dr. Natanzon. “Legacy solutions that repurpose on-prem methods to the cloud weren’t built for this level of complexity and aren't optimized for cloud-scale recovery. They lack the real-time visibility, automation, and scalability needed to operate in a cloud-native world. That leaves businesses exposed, thinking they’re protected when they’re actually not.”
Eon, which was built from the ground-up for cloud environments—not just simply “cloud compatible”—innovates in the space of modern cloud protection with its latest ransomware package. Aligning with the NIST Framework and offering identification, protection, detection, response, and accelerated recovery capabilities, Eon’s cloud-native package enables fortified defense against attacks on modern cloud architectures. With complete visibility across AWS, Azure, GCP, and hybrid environments, Eon streamlines protection and recovery across different accounts within a single interface.
The ransomware package is a testament to the power of automation, minimizing downtime and shortening recovery from days or hours to minutes or less, according to Eon. Through capabilities such as immutable snapshots, logically air-gapped backup vaults, automated classification of cloud resources, global search, granular restoration, and smart recovery tools, Eon offers a unique combination of technology to effectively enable ransomware detection across cloud resources, including managed databases and data warehouses.
“The way it works is straightforward,” explained Dr. Natanzon. “The platform offers in-region, cross-region, and cross-cloud air-gapped backup vaults with immutable, object-locked snapshots that are protected by strict retention lock policies and role-based access controls (RBAC). Its agentless detection scans for ransomware indicators, including entropy changes, anomalous writes, and malware, with AI-driven analysis to enhance early detection.”
“Once threats are identified, Eon integrates with SIEMs and alerts via Slack, AWS SNS, and other ticketing systems in real-time. Recovery is precise, restoring only encrypted files, folders, or database records, prioritizing critical data, and minimizing downtime and operational impact.”
While any cloud-based enterprise would significantly benefit from Eon’s ransomware package, those in industries that require always-available data—such as financial services, healthcare, SaaS companies, and large enterprises with multi-cloud environments—may see particular value.
“It’s exciting to be able to tackle one of the biggest cyberthreats facing businesses today. Ransomware isn’t going away, and from day one we knew that our approach to backup technology also had applications in other areas such as security. We are closing a critical gap in the market by giving enterprises a way to recover from ransomware attacks instantly, without losing productivity or exposing themselves to prolonged downtime. It’s a game-changer for businesses that rely on cloud infrastructure to operate,” concluded Dr. Natanzon.
