Eon, an intelligent data and AI infrastructure platform, is introducing ransomware protection designed specifically for cloud databases that enables organizations to fully detect and recover potential ransomware corruption or anomalous behavior and restore trusted data across all modern cloud workloads.
According to the company, Eon’s new protection capabilities provide unified ransomware protection across managed and self-hosted cloud databases, VMs, and object storage, eliminating the choice between paying attackers or enduring prolonged operational shutdowns.
“Legacy protection tools scan files and disks for ransomware, but as customers modernized, these solutions lagged behind, leaving databases exposed. Attackers today are exploiting this blind spot, and organizations often don’t discover corrupted data until they’re attempting recovery,” said Ofir Ehrlich, CEO and co-founder of Eon. “True resilience requires full visibility into your backups and a reliable path to full restoration. We've built our ransomware protection package to ensure your cloud data stays secure, uncorrupted, and ready to drive intelligence no matter what.”
Eon's cloud-native platform detects threats and validates recovery points without expanding the attack surface. By analyzing the contents of database backups, Eon automatically identifies trusted recovery points and enables fast restoration of clean data in minutes instead of days, the company said.
Because backups remain indexed and queryable, security teams can investigate corrupted data and restore only trusted records without rebuilding entire environments.
Key benefits of Eon's ransomware protection for databases include:
- Greater visibility: Detect ransomware signals, including database-level anomalies such as row-count drops, schema changes, and cardinality shifts across Postgres, MySQL, MSSQL, RDS, and other cloud databases.
- Unified protection across cloud workloads: Detect and recover from ransomware attacks across VMs, object storage, and databases from a single console.
- Cloud-native, agentless design: Direct integration with cloud provider APIs eliminates the need for appliances or infrastructure changes.
- Air-gapped security: Immutable, logically air-gapped vaults protect backups from deletion or modification, even when production systems are compromised.
