Customer Success

A leading global financial services organization serving millions of customers across the academic, healthcare, and nonprofit sectors sought to modernize its data protection strategy as part of a large-scale migration to AWS. With over a trillion dollars in assets under management, ensuring data integrity and ransomware resilience in the cloud was a top priority for its security and infrastructure teams.

The Challenge

The organization had a strong foundation for ransomware resilience on-premises, but its existing tools were not built for the scalability and complexity of AWS. As data volumes grew rapidly, the firm needed a cloud-native solution to continuously validate backup integrity, detect hidden ransomware threats, and prove recoverability to meet strict regulatory requirements.

While endpoint protection tools provided strong device-level security, they lacked visibility into backup and recovery assurance. The company required a solution that could validate backups at scale, eliminate operational overhead, and provide confidence in clean, recoverable data.

The Solution

Working with AWS, the organization selected Elastio to strengthen its cyber resilience in the cloud. The deployment delivers:

• Continuous validation of AWS backups and recovery points to guarantee recoverability and reduce downtime.
• Advanced ransomware detection at scale, independent of signatures, for faster threat identification and minimized data loss.
• Agentless integration with AWS Backup and storage services to reduce complexity and accelerate time to protection.
• Automated assurance of last-known clean recovery points for critical workloads to meet compliance and recovery objectives.

The Results

Within 60 days, the organization fully deployed Elastio, gaining continuous visibility and proof of recoverability across its AWS environment. With Elastio, it now:

• Ensures provable recovery of business-critical workloads within defined SLAs.
• Demonstrates compliance with evolving financial resilience mandates including NYDFS 500.16, SEC, and DORA.
• Strengthens its overall security posture while reducing downtime and operational burden.

Powered by AWS
