AWS
Modern ransomware evades perimeter defenses. Attackers establish persistence, move laterally, and corrupt data before encryption starts. By the time it is visible, your recovery options are already compromised. Elastio detects early attack indicators across live, replicated, and backup data. Proves a clean recovery point exists before you need it.
What your existing AWS stack does not see
Modern ransomware evades EDR and GuardDuty. The attacker establishes persistence inside your data long before encryption starts. AWS Backup creates the recovery points. It does not prove them clean. Elastio operates at the data layer.
Elastio opens and analyzes the file. AWS Backup confirms a copy exists. GuardDuty monitors behavior. Neither looks inside. Elastio does, across all 14 AWS services.
See the GuardDuty integration →Every recovery point gets a verdict: clean or infected. Last known clean point identified per asset before you need it. You know before you restore, not after.
IOCs discovered during investigation become platform rules. Write once in SQL, YARA, or Regex. Elastio runs it across every live workload, replica, and backup immediately. One rule. Full coverage.
Timestamped proof that recovery points are clean, mapped to DORA, NYDFS, SEC, and HIPAA. Report on demand.
GuardDuty fires a malware finding. You have a signal, not a confirmation. Elastio closes that gap automatically: Deep File Inspection on the affected asset surfaces the blast radius, when encryption began, and the last clean recovery point. From "something happened" to "here is exactly what happened."
Read the integration guide →GuardDuty detects suspicious behavior or a known malware signature on an AWS asset.
GuardDuty publishes the malware finding to EventBridge. Elastio is subscribed to the event stream.
Elastio automatically analyzes the affected asset, opening files, examining content structure, and analyzing encryption patterns.
Infected files identified. Blast radius quantified. Last known clean recovery point surfaced.
CONFIRMEDThese are the data surfaces Elastio hunts across. Every one of them is unproven until the Hunt Engine runs. Every one of them becomes a provable recovery point after it does.
Coverage spans all three data surfaces:
Elastio deploys one Cloud Connector into a dedicated AWS account. That account becomes the centralized Hunt Engine for your entire estate. All other accounts feed into it via cross-account roles. One deployment covers every service, every region.

The AWS Ransomware Provable Recovery Program runs a real-world ransomware simulation against your AWS backup estate, without touching production. You walk away with a written assessment of your R-RPO, your last clean recovery point per service, and exactly where your gaps are.
Most organizations discover their R-RPO is measured in days, not hours. This program surfaces that before your board, auditors, or regulators do.
