Why Clean Recoverability is the New Cyber Imperative
The shift to the cloud has brought speed, agility, and scalability to enterprise IT. However, it has also introduced new vulnerabilities, particularly in the context of ransomware. For cloud-first organizations, traditional backup and disaster recovery strategies are no longer enough. Ransomware resilience now depends on your ability to validate, detect, and recover with confidence.
And that’s precisely where Elastio comes in.
Cloud Speed, Cloud Risk
Enterprises are moving faster than ever — launching apps, scaling workloads, and deploying infrastructure in real time. But while infrastructure has modernized, many organizations still rely on legacy approaches to backup and recovery. The problem?
Ransomware is evolving faster than your snapshots.
Attackers know that backups are a company’s last line of defense. That’s why modern ransomware strains are now designed to remain undetected, lie dormant, and encrypt your backups along with your data.
Detection Is Not Enough. Recovery Is Everything.
Most cybersecurity strategies focus heavily on prevention and detection. But what happens when those fail — and they often do?
Studies show that:
- 31% of organizations with backups still fail to fully recover after a ransomware attack.
- In cloud environments, automated snapshotting alone can preserve infections, leaving you with clean-looking but corrupted data.
You don’t just need backups. You need to know they’re clean.
The Elastio Advantage: Proven Clean Recoverability
Elastio delivers the industry’s most advanced ransomware recovery assurance platform, purpose-built for cloud-first environments. Unlike traditional DR or backup tools, Elastio integrates directly into your cloud workflows and brings three critical capabilities to the table:
1. Continuous Scan & Detection at the Backup Layer
Elastio automatically and proactively scans backups and snapshots for ransomware encryption before they are restored, using behavioral ransomware detection and integrity checks. This ensures:
- No active or dormant ransomware gets preserved.
- You catch threats hiding in backups that others miss.
2. Recovery Validation
The platform continuously validates your backups, so you always know:
- Which restore points are provably clean.
- Where your last known good copy lives.
- What can be safely recovered before an incident occurs.
3. Automated, Orchestrated Recovery
Elastio integrates with AWS DRS and cloud-native tooling to orchestrate clean, secure restores. In the event of an attack, you can:
- Recover systems confidently in hours, not days.
- Avoid reinfection loops or post-recovery data loss.
- Deliver on compliance and business continuity SLAs.
Why Cloud-First Enterprises Choose Elastio
If you’ve already moved your workloads to the cloud, your security and recovery architecture must follow. Elastio is the only platform that:
- Scans Backup snapshots to ensure Ransomware encryption is not present
- Validates and logs the last clean recovery point
- Automates clean restores
- Supports Cloud-native environments
Elastio helps cloud-first enterprises turn backups into a security asset, not a hidden liability.
Final Word: Make Recovery a Security Control
Ransomware will get in. That’s a fact. The question is: Can you identify it quickly, recover cleanly, and completely?
With Elastio, recovery is no longer a desperate last resort — it’s a proven, tested, and secure capability built into your cloud operations.
