Optimizing Data Retention and Reducing Storage Costs with Elastio
Reducing Recovery Time with Elastio
Enterprises often store thousands of recovery points, but during a ransomware attack, the critical question becomes: Which backup is safe to restore from? Identifying the last-known clean backup can be a complex and time-consuming task for infrastructure administrators. Without a clear answer, recovery efforts turn into a guessing game: when did the threat infiltrate the system? Was the backup already compromised? Post-attack analysis can be slow, costly, and still leave the system at risk.
Elastio eliminates this uncertainty by proactively inspecting and validating all backups for threats before an attack happens. By continuously scanning recovery points and flagging any that are compromised, Elastio ensures that administrators know exactly which backup is clean and safe to restore from when needed.
With seamless integrations into backup provider consoles, Elastio simplifies the recovery process, helping organizations reduce downtime and resume operations quickly and confidently—without the risk of reinfection. This makes Elastio an essential tool for ensuring rapid, safe recovery during a ransomware or malware event.
Enhancing Cyber Recovery Vault Validation with Elastio
Organizations often store backups of mission-critical application data in secure vaults, whether on-premises or in cloud environments like AWS, to ensure swift recovery following a cyberattack. However, the effectiveness of this strategy hinges on the integrity of the data within these vaults.
Elastio fortifies your cyber recovery plan by thoroughly inspecting data entering the vault, ensuring that recovery points are clean and free from threats. This proactive validation mitigates the risk of reinfection or corrupted restores, providing confidence during critical recovery operations.
By integrating Elastio into your cyber recovery strategy, you enhance the reliability of your backups, ensuring that, in the event of an attack, your organization can restore operations swiftly and securely.
Mitigating EDR/XDR Bypass with Elastio
EDR/XDR solutions are essential for detecting threats in real-time, but advanced ransomware and malware can still bypass these defenses. Techniques like kernel-level exploits can hide malicious activity, making it invisible to the system's monitoring tools.
This puts organizations at risk of missing threats until significant damage is done, leading to greater data loss, extended downtime, and expensive recovery efforts.
Elastio reduces this risk by agentlessly inspecting data at rest, following a Zero Trust approach that assumes a breach has already happened. Instead of scanning within potentially compromised systems, Elastio analyzes backups and snapshots stored outside the active environment. These snapshots, taken directly from the virtualization layer, cannot be tampered with by malware, making them highly reliable for threat detection.
Using deep-file analysis, Elastio uncovers advanced malware techniques, like hidden files or registry manipulations, that would otherwise go unnoticed. Additionally, it enables organizations to restore operations from the last-known clean backup, ensuring a fast and secure recovery without spreading hidden threats.
Elastio provides a critical layer of protection by detecting threats that other solutions miss, giving organizations the confidence to stay ahead of attackers.
Simplifying Compliance Reporting with Elastio
Organizations in highly regulated industries like financial services and healthcare face strict requirements to demonstrate robust data protection practices. Regulations such as NYDFS Section 500.16 and Article 12 of DORA demand regular testing of backups for integrity and recoverability to ensure businesses can recover quickly and safely in the event of an attack or system failure.
Elastio streamlines compliance by providing quality assurance and validation of backups. Its advanced scanning capabilities inspect backups for hidden threats and verify their recoverability, ensuring they meet the highest standards of security. Elastio also generates configurable reports that can be tailored to provide the exact information required for auditors, regulators, or internal stakeholders.
With Elastio, organizations can confidently demonstrate that they are rigorously and proactively testing their backups, meeting compliance obligations while reducing the administrative burden of manual reporting. This not only supports regulatory requirements but also reinforces trust with customers and stakeholders.
Optimizing Data Retention and Reducing Storage Costs with Elastio
Organizations often maintain extended data retention periods to mitigate the risk of failed backups, leading to increased storage costs and complex data management. By integrating Elastio's advanced backup validation and recovery assurance capabilities, organizations can confidently reduce their data retention windows.
Elastio ensures that each backup is thoroughly inspected for integrity and recoverability, providing clear visibility into the health of stored data. This proactive validation minimizes the risk of failed recoveries, allowing businesses to retain only the necessary data without compromising resilience. Shorter retention periods lead to reduced storage requirements, significantly lowering data storage expenses.
Implementing Elastio enables organizations to optimize their data retention strategies, achieving substantial cost savings while maintaining robust data protection and recovery capabilities.
