Proving backup integrity for public health on AWS

Ransomware remains one of the most pressing threats to public sector organizations. A key driver of recovery costs is the inability to quickly identify a clean backup, or the discovery that no clean backup exists at all.

For the Department of Public Health, the lack of verified backups meant every incident carried the risk of significant downtime, reintroducing threats, and eroding public trust.

The agency deployed Elastio to close the gap between backup and provable recovery. The Hunt Engine performs Deep File Inspection across all AWS backups, delivering continuous verification of backup integrity.

• Continuous Deep File Inspection. Every backup is verified for ransomware and corruption automatically.
• Last-known clean recovery points. The agency knows exactly which backup to restore and when the infection started.
• No production impact. Agentless inspection runs out-of-band, with no effect on live systems.
• Recovery confidence. The guessing game is over. Recovery points are provably clean before they are needed.

The agency now operates with continuous visibility into backup integrity. Recovery decisions are based on evidence, not assumptions. Public health services are protected by provable recovery readiness.
