What to do after a ransomware attack?

After containment, the priorities are scoping the blast radius (which systems, data, and recovery points were affected), preserving forensic evidence, notifying stakeholders and regulators, and recovering from a clean point. Restoring too quickly from an unverified backup is the most common way organizations reinfect themselves.

Elastio helps by correlating findings across live, replicated, and backup data to define the clean boundary — the dividing line between recovery points that are verified clean and those that are not — and produces a timestamped audit trail of every finding and recovery decision for insurers and regulators.
