Games24x7 runs one of India's largest online gaming platforms, serving millions of players. With ransomware attacks accelerating across the industry, the DevSecOps team recognized that traditional backup hygiene wasn't enough — a single corrupted recovery point could halt gameplay, breach customer trust, and create a business-threatening outage.
The team needed a backup system that could survive a worst-case attack and, just as importantly, prove that the data inside it was clean and recoverable on demand.
Games24x7's DevSecOps team built a hardened backup architecture on AWS Backup — storing immutable copies of the company's most critical data — and added Elastio to close the data integrity gap. Elastio continuously inspects every backup, validating that the source data is free of ransomware, malware, and corruption before it ever becomes a recovery point.
"Our primary focus was to fortify our backup system, ensuring improved mission-critical data recoverability and business continuity, particularly in the event of potential ransomware attacks. Elastio understood our priorities and collaborated with us in constructing a robust framework for a resilient and secure foundation for our data management needs."
Sanjay Singh, Head of DevSecOps, Games24x7
Elastio's ransomware detection feeds findings directly into AWS Security Hub, making backup integrity a first-class signal alongside the rest of Games24x7's security operations.
Production applications — existing and newly created — are now backed up predictably, with an audit trail confirming each recovery point is clean. The DevSecOps team has removed the guesswork from disaster recovery and gained the ability to recover quickly from a worst-case event with minimal disruption to the player experience.
"Elastio gives us the confidence to no longer worry about our mission-critical data — our 'Crown Jewels' — becoming a victim of ransomware."
Sanjay Singh, Head of DevSecOps, Games24x7
With the initial deployment proven, Games24x7 is expanding Elastio across additional data categories to build a holistic, end-to-end data protection strategy.
