Proactive Ransomware Protection and Rapid Recovery with Elastio

"Elastio platform returns ransomware recovery into a fast, reliable process—we finally know exactly where to start."

From Weeks of Guesswork to Instant Recovery: How AI Engineers Transformed Ransomware Resilience with Elastio

When ransomware strikes, every second counts. Finding a clean backup quickly is critical to reducing downtime and minimizing data loss. For AI Engineers, a leader in bridge design and commercial construction, confidence in backup integrity and recovery speed has been a game-changer.

Derrick Woolford, now Director of IT at AI Engineers, knows the cost of uncertainty all too well. In his previous role as an MSP supporting hundreds of businesses, he saw how traditional backup solutions left companies guessing. One client spent an entire week restoring backups one by one—only to discover the last clean copy was a month old. That experience shaped Woolford’s proactive approach to data protection and ultimately led him to Elastio.

With Elastio’s Ransomware Recovery Assurance Platform, Woolford’s team now benefits from:

• Proactive ransomware threat detection
• Automated backup integrity validation
• Instant access to the last safe recovery point

Best of all, Elastio integrates seamlessly with their existing Veeam environment, delivering confidence without adding complexity.
