Recovery & Incident Response

How long does it take to recover from ransomware?

Recovery times vary widely, but the average ransomware incident causes around 21 days of downtime — and much of that time is spent hunting for a clean recovery point, not restoring data. Roughly 58% of organizations recover into an infected state because they restored from a compromised backup.

Knowing the last known clean recovery point before an incident eliminates that discovery work and directly reduces recovery time. Elastio inspects backups continuously, so the clean recovery point is already identified when an incident occurs rather than determined under pressure during the response.
