How do you recover from a ransomware attack?
Recovery means restoring systems and data to a working state from a point in time before the attacker corrupted them. The hard part is not restoring data — it is knowing which recovery point is actually clean. Restoring from a backup that already contains the ransomware simply reintroduces the threat.
A reliable recovery follows a clear order: contain and isolate affected systems, identify the most recent recovery point confirmed free of ransomware, restore from that clean point, and validate before returning to production. Elastio supports this by inspecting inside your backups and snapshots to pinpoint the last known clean recovery point per asset, so the restore starts from data you have proven is safe.
