Ransomware has evolved faster than traditional disaster recovery (DR) strategies can adapt. Analysts and industry leadership* believe attackers now deploy stealthy, slow- moving encryption that often slips into backups undetected. Restoring from an unverified recovery point risks prolonged operational downtime, data loss, reinfection, reputational damage, and regulatory non-compliance.
The Elastio Ransomware Recovery Assurance Platform (Elastio Platform), in combination with AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (AWS DRS), redefines recovery preparedness for the ransomware era. This integrated solution provides:
- Expert ransomware scanning of AWS DRS replicated snapshots and backups
- Proactive validation of clean recovery points—before an incident occurs
- Zero-trust, out-of-band inspection that adversaries can’t evade or tamper with
- Audit-ready reporting aligned with compliance frameworks like DORA, NYDFS, MAS TRM, and cyber insurance requirements
- Resilience tracking and reporting to provide a ransomware risk profile and illuminate gaps in your zero-trust data integrity layer
Together, Elastio and AWS DRS enable a cyber-resilient failover strategy. This means your organization can bounce back faster, recover confidently, and stay protected against the evolving tactics of ransomware actors. Unfortunately, it’s not a matter of if; it is only a matter of when these bad actors impact your business. Reduce your risk and exposure by ensuring your data integrity layer is secure with AWS DRS and Elastio.

Key Customer Benefits
Fast, Clean Recovery — When Every Second Counts
Pair AWS DRS’s rapid failover capabilities with Elastio Platform’s clean recovery assurance to dramatically reduce recovery time while ensuring your data is ransomware-free. Elastio Platform pre-validates recovery points so you’re not gambling on untested backups during a crisis. The result? Recovery that’s not only fast, but trusted.
Cyber-Resilient Disaster Recovery
Traditional DR restores systems. Elastio Platform ensures that what you’re restoring isn’t already infected. By detecting stealthy, dormant, or slow-encrypting ransomware within backups and snapshots, Elastio Platform closes a critical blind spot in your recovery strategy.
Audit-Ready Compliance & Reporting
Elastio Platform automatically generates detailed resilience and integrity reports aligned with regulatory frameworks like NYDFS, DORA, and MAS TRM. These reports provide clear evidence for compliance audits, cyber insurance underwriting, and board-level oversight, reducing operational overhead and legal risk.
Minimized Downtime and Recovery Risk
Elastio Platform proactively scans and validates backup data before an incident occurs across cloud and on-premise environments. This zero-trust approach dramatically reduces the risk of failed or incomplete recoveries, giving teams the confidence to act quickly without fear of re-infection or data loss.
How It Works: Clean Recovery Assurance in Action
Deploy Elastio Platform in Minutes
Elastio Platform integrates seamlessly into your AWS environment using CloudFormation. Whether protecting a single account or managing a complex, multi-account architecture, deployment is fast, scalable, and infrastructure-as-code friendly, ensuring alignment with your DevSecOps processes.
Automate and Orchestrate Deep Scans
Configure Elastio Platform to run intelligent scans on AWS DRS snapshots and other backup sources. Schedule encryption detection scans to run hourly for real-time ransomware insight, and binary-level scans daily to catch even the most stealthy threats. Elastio Platform enables continuous validation of recovery readiness without operational burden.
Flexible Deployment Options — Run It Your Way
Choose to deploy Elastio Platform inside your AWS environment for complete control, or offload operational overhead using Elastio Platform’s fully managed scan clusters. Either way, you maintain ownership of your data and visibility into every scan and result.
Built for Efficiency and Scale with AWS Batch
Elastio Platform uses AWS Batch to automatically scale resources on demand. This ensures high performance when needed and cost efficiency when idle, making large-scale scanning feasible without impacting production workloads or incurring unnecessary spend.
Deployment Flexibility: Built for the Way You Operate
Seamless AWS Integration
Elastio Platform is purpose-built for AWS environments and deploys effortlessly using native tools like AWS CloudFormation.. Whether operating in a single AWS account or managing a complex multi-account architecture, Elastio fits right in without disrupting your existing workflows.
Tailored to Your Geography and Compliance Needs
You can choose specific AWS regions for scanning to align with data sovereignty, regulatory, or latency requirements. Elastio Platform gives you granular control over where scans are executed, helping you meet internal policies and regional compliance mandates.
Run It Your Way: Managed or Self-Hosted
Prefer to offload infrastructure management? Use Elastio Platform’s fully managed scan clusters for turnkey deployment, maintenance, and scaling. Need tighter control? Choose the self-hosted model and run Elastio Platform within your environment to meet strict security or operational requirements.
Optimized for Scale and Cost
Behind the scenes, Elastio Platform leverages AWS Batch to enable automatic scaling for scan operations, so resources are only used when needed. This dynamic, pay-as-you-go approach ensures cost efficiency without sacrificing performance.
“Elastio allowed us to see almost immediately which backups were clean. That saved us days—possibly weeks—of trial and error.”
— Jeff Fudge, Director of Cloud Solutions, JetSweep
