AWS Security Hub

Integration Overview

The Elastio + AWS Security Hub integration brings backup and cloud-storage integrity directly into your centralized AWS security view. Elastio continuously inspects backups, snapshots, and cloud object storage for ransomware encryption, corruption, and anomalous change patterns. When an issue is detected, Elastio sends rich, context-aware alert notifications into AWS Security Hub as findings.

Security teams can then view recovery-integrity signals alongside GuardDuty, IAM, and VPC data, correlate compromised recovery points with other AWS security events, drive automated remediation with AWS services, and prove recoverability—all from within Security Hub.

Integration Benefits

Centralized ransomware recovery assurance
Monitor Elastio’s ransomware detections, corruption findings, and recovery-point health as native findings inside AWS Security Hub, alongside the rest of your AWS security posture.

Accelerated incident response
Include Elastio’s “last known clean” recovery point (R-RPO) in Security Hub findings so responders know exactly which backup or snapshot is safe to restore—no guesswork during an incident.

Stronger correlation across AWS signals
Correlate Elastio integrity anomalies with GuardDuty threats, CloudTrail events, IAM activity, and VPC flow logs to uncover stealthy ransomware and data-tampering behavior earlier.

Automated remediation workflows
Use Security Hub automation and integrations (e.g., EventBridge, Lambda, Systems Manager) to trigger playbooks when Elastio flags compromised backups—such as isolating affected resources or initiating clean restores.

Audit-ready compliance evidence
Persist Elastio scan results, clean/dirty determinations, and recovery-assurance findings in Security Hub to support NYDFS, DORA, NIST, and cyber-insurance proof-of-recoverability requirements.

Better Together

Elastio provides deep data-at-rest inspection that traditional security tools don’t reach—scanning backups, snapshots, and cloud storage for ransomware encryption, unexpected encryption patterns, and silent corruption. This creates a dynamic “Ransomware RPO” that clearly separates clean recovery points from compromised ones.

AWS Security Hub aggregates, normalizes, and prioritizes security findings from across AWS and supported third-party tools, giving security teams a single console to understand and act on their security posture.

Together, Elastio and AWS Security Hub turn backup integrity into an active security control. Elastio continuously feeds “recovery intelligence” into Security Hub so that when a backup is compromised, the SOC is alerted through a standard AWS finding, an investigation is immediately triggered, and responders are guided to the precise point in time needed for a clean recovery.

Use Case Overview

Proving Clean Recovery in Your AWS Security Posture

When ransomware targets cloud workloads, teams often discover too late that their backups and snapshots have also been encrypted or corrupted. This integration ensures that the same console used to monitor AWS security risk also shows which recovery points are actually safe.

Challenge

Blind spots in backup and snapshot integrity
Security teams see GuardDuty alerts and IAM anomalies, but typically have no direct visibility into whether EBS snapshots, RDS backups, or S3 objects have been compromised.

Risky, time-consuming recoveries
During an incident, responders frequently restore the most recent snapshot by default, potentially redeploying ransomware and extending downtime while they manually test backups.

Fragmented evidence for auditors and insurers
Recoverability proof often lives inside backup tools and logs that are disconnected from the core security view, making it hard to demonstrate that a chosen restore point was verified clean.

Solution

Automated integrity findings in Security Hub
Elastio streams alerts—such as detected ransomware encryption, corruption, or suspicious change rates—into AWS Security Hub as structured findings the moment they are discovered.

Guided, clean recovery workflow
Security Hub findings enriched with Elastio’s clean/dirty status and R-RPO indicators show exactly which recovery points are safe to use, helping incident responders avoid restoring compromised data.

Continuous compliance visibility
Historical Elastio findings retained in Security Hub create a centralized, audit-ready record of integrity scans and recovery validations, supporting regulatory reviews and cyber-insurance assessments.
