Elastio gives CISOs and CIOs certainty in their recovery strategy. As a cloud- and backup-agnostic solution, Elastio continuously validates that data is ready to recover, reducing downtime by over 90% and driving a 10–25x ROI. While traditional solutions protect data, Elastio automatically delivers a security control that proves proactive ransomware readiness.

In this episode of Detonation Point, Elastio's podcast that goes behind the fight against cybercrime, former U.S. Secret Service Deputy Special Agent in Charge of Cyber Operations, Matt O’Neill sits down with Hieu Minh Ngo - once America’s most prolific identity thief, and also the man he arrested. Together, they revisit what really happened: hacked data brokers, fake PI licenses, and the sting operation that ended in Guam. Along the way, they explore the social engineering playbooks shared by hackers and agents, the lure of money, and the human blind spots that make cybercrime so effective. Two former adversaries now compare notes, offering lessons for anyone determined to keep data safe.

Arresting America's Most Prolific Identify Thief: The Agent & Hacker Revisit the Sting

New regulations are raising the bar - and the burden - on recovery assurance. As ransomware increasingly targets backup infrastructure and compliance demands verifiable resilience, CISOs must redefine what ransomware readiness means. Join security leaders from RKON and Elastio for a fast-paced, no-fluff fireside chat on aligning recovery strategies with today’s regulatory and threat landscape.

CISO Fireside: Regulations Now Demand Proof You Can Recover - Are You Ready?

For most infrastructure teams, recovery planning starts with clear RTO (Recovery Time Objective) and RPO (Recovery Point Objective) targets — but ransomware introduces an entirely new level of pressure on those goals.
These teams face the anxiety of prolonged downtime, the fear of reinfection, and limited visibility into whether their recovery points are truly clean — sometimes making the prospect of paying the ransom feel like the only way back online. This uncertainty forces teams to confront the limits of their current disaster recovery plans.
In this educational webinar, experts from Aligned Technology Group and Elastio will explore how modern infrastructure teams are rethinking recovery strategies to embed ransomware preparedness directly into AWS DR workflows — transforming disaster recovery into true cyber resilience.
We’ll discuss:
Why functional backups aren’t necessarily clean backups — and why that matters for your RTO and RPO
 How organizations can proactively leverage AWS-based disaster recovery strategies (like AWS Backup and AWS DRS) to build scalable, secure, ransomware-aware recovery architectures
 Practical steps infrastructure teams can take today to strengthen recovery posture, reduce downtime risk, and build greater confidence and assurance into their recovery plans
Who Should Attend:
Infrastructure, cloud, and disaster recovery teams focused on minimizing downtime and strengthening recovery in the face of ransomware — including IT leaders, DR managers, cloud architects, and operations teams using (or considering) AWS Backup, AWS DRS, or similar solutions.

RTO & RPO in the Face of Ransomware: Building Recovery Plans on AWS for Today’s Cyber Threats

In today’s always-on world, availability isn’t optional — it’s expected. But ransomware has fundamentally reshaped how organizations must think about resilience.
Resilience now means more than just recovering systems — it means restoring clean, trustworthy data quickly, with minimal disruption.

As the threat landscape grows more sophisticated, forward-looking teams are integrating Zero Trust principles into their disaster recovery architectures — treating data protection not as a last-mile fail-safe, but as a critical layer of cybersecurity.

In this session, we'll explore how AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (DRS) and the Elastio Ransomware Recovery Assurance Platform are being used together to build cyber-resilient recovery strategies. Attendees will learn how organizations are evolving to not just recover — but to recover cleanly, securely, and in time to meet business expectations.

 
You’ll learn how to:
 • Validate recovery points with automated scanning during AWS DRS replication
 • Reduce downtime and prevent reinfection by ensuring clean recovery points
 • Meet compliance goals with auditable data integrity reporting
 • Extend protection across multi-account and multi-region AWS environments
 
We’ll also explore deployment options, architecture design, and real-world examples of organizations who protect business continuity with robust cyber recovery solutions.

Who should attend:
CISOs, Disaster Recovery Leaders, Cloud Architects, and Compliance Stakeholders responsible for cyber resilience and secure recovery on AWS.

Availability in the Age of Ransomware: Building Cyber-Resilient Disaster Recovery on AWS

If the last year taught us anything, no system is invincible. The cyberattack on Change Healthcare, CrowdStrike’s coding error, and catastrophic natural disasters in North Carolina, Florida, and Los Angeles have left organizations more vulnerable than ever. Whether it’s ransomware, human error, or even a bear gnawing at your data center wires (yes, that happened), the risks to your data are constant and evolving.

Join Jetsweep and Elastio for an exclusive webinar exploring best practices for ransomware protection and disaster recovery in cloud environments. We’ll share real-world insights into how organizations can strengthen their cloud disaster recovery strategies to minimize downtime and data loss — even in the face of sophisticated ransomware attacks.

What You’ll Learn:
- The benefits of cloud-based disaster recovery — how to achieve fast, cost-effective recovery without complex infrastructure or high upfront costs.
- How to validate data integrity — ensuring your backups are ransomware-free and fully recoverable, so you’re not restoring compromised data.
- How to reduce downtime and data loss — using proactive recovery strategies and zero-trust models to minimize disruption and ensure rapid recovery.
- Lessons from the field — a detailed case study of a ransomware attack that compromised backup data, including how recovery unfolded and what could have improved the outcome.

This is an exclusive opportunity for participants to engage with cloud security experts and learn how to strengthen their AWS disaster recovery posture with actionable insights and best practices.

Disaster Recovery for Today's Cyber Threats

Are your backups clean, uncompromised and recoverable?
In today’s digital ecosystem, ransomware attacks pose a significant threat to organizations, underscoring the urgent need for robust data protection measures. Join us for a webinar focused on securing your backups against ransomware to bolster cyber resilience and ensure compliance requirements such as NYDFS data protection policies.

In this session, we cover:

- The evolving landscape of ransomware threats and their impact on data security
- Practical insights and best practices for achieving compliance with NYDFS and other data protection compliance policies
- Real-world case studies and success stories highlighting the importance of proactive backup security measures for cyber resilience and regulatory compliance

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain actionable insights and guidance from AWS industry experts on safeguarding your backups against ransomware threats and ensuring alignment with regulatory data protection compliance policies, including NYDFS, DORA, and NIST CSF 2.0.
