We'll look back at this past week as a turning point in cybersecurity. AI is fundamentally changing the speed and scale of cyber threats, and the industry needs to move faster.
Today, Eon is launching a program to help companies get their data protected from today's threats.
As the cybersecurity industry races to address these new threats, we feel responsible to do everything we can to help. This post explains why, and how to get started.
What changed this week
On October 21, CISA urged immediate patching of two critical PHP vulnerabilities, CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, known together as PHP2Shell.
PHP2Shell is one example. AI is speeding up both finding and exploiting vulnerabilities, and more weeks like this one are coming. Racing to fix flaws matters, but some attacks will get through anyway. Preparing for those means recovery: a copy of your data no attacker can reach, proven clean, and a fast way back to it.
Every security leader should know how they'd recover this week.
Why Eon
Eon was built from the ground up for the AI era. Our cloud-native platform combines automatic data discovery and classification, air-gapped backups, ransomware detection, and rapid recovery. And we can get companies protected in as little as a day.
Each part of the platform answers a question that a week like this one raises:
- Where is my sensitive data? Eon discovers every resource and classifies the sensitive data inside it, automatically.
- Can attackers destroy my backups? No. Backups are immutable and air-gapped in an isolated vault that no one can delete.
- Was I compromised? Every backup is scanned for ransomware, malware and anomalies, and flagged for vulnerable software like PHP2Shell.
- How fast can I recover? Restore exactly what was hit from the last clean copy, in minutes.
All of it runs agentless, from one read-only role, across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. That is how a company can go from sign-up to protected in as little as a day, and why we believe no one else can deliver this level of data protection and recovery at the speed companies need right now.
It also builds on what we've learned protecting more than an exabyte of enterprise data. Earlier this month we introduced Era, a free tool for testing AI agents against simulated companies, because AI is changing how every company works. This program addresses the other side of that change: keeping company data protected and recoverable as AI changes how companies are attacked.
Our responsibility in the AI era
While the cybersecurity industry races to address these new threats, companies can't afford to wait to protect their most critical data. Traditional data protection solutions were built for a different era. They still rely on paradigms from the on-prem world, often taking months to deploy. Eon was built differently.
We help companies quickly discover their most sensitive data, identify protection gaps, secure it with air-gapped backups, detect ransomware, and recover rapidly from attack.
That's why we're offering the first 3 months at no cost to remove barriers to getting started.
