Backup Validation

Many organizations only discover corrupted or malware-infected backups during a crisis, when its far too late. Realize true recovery assurance with AI-powered Backup Validation, featuring cleanroom-based threat scanning, automated testing, and recoverability scoring.

Overview
Most backup tools confirm your data was “saved”. What they can’t confirm is whether that data is clean, bootable, and recoverable. Dormant ransomware can silently infiltrate your backups, leaving you with no clean recovery point when you need it most. This blind spot is the Cyber Recovery Gap, and closing it is critical to your cyber resiliency strategy.

Recovery Point’s Backup Validation Service transforms your backups from untested assumptions into proven recovery assurance. By continually validating backups in an isolated cleanroom environment, we help ensure your systems are not only backed up but recoverable, malware-free, and operational. Unlike standard tools, our fully managed service combines:
- Automated system-level recovery testing
- Advanced threat scanning for dormant or embedded malware
- Recoverability scoring and proof of resilience you can share with auditors, insurers, and executives

Stats

Backups are no longer a guaranteed safety net. Attackers now target backup systems directly, and too many organizations discover too late that their data can’t be recovered. These stats highlight why validated, provable recoverability is essential to cyber resilience.

93 %

of ransomware attacks now target backup infrastructure itself, making secure storage alone insufficient.
75 %

of companies faced failed backup recoveries after a cyberattack.
41 %

of companies that paid a ransom still failed to recover all their data.

The Cyber Recovery Gap in Action
Anatomy of an Attack

Ransomware often spreads quietly, slipping into backups long before it detonates. What look like safe recovery points are already compromised, leaving restores to fail or reintroduce malware when it matters most.

Backup Validation changes that outcome. Backups are rehydrated and scanned in a secure cleanroom to catch threats early, trigger remediation, and provide a trusted path to fast, clean recovery.

Assess Your Recoverability

How Backup Validation Works

1. Rehydrate backups in a safe, isolated cleanroom

Backups are automatically restored on schedule into a secure cleanroom to simulate real recovery.

2. Power on and test systems for real-world recoverability

Systems are booted and verified to ensure they start and function as expected – beyond just data integrity checks.

3. Scan for hidden malware and anomalies

Integrated malware and anomaly scans identify threats missed by production XDR/EDR tools.

4. Score and report on your recovery readiness

Quantifiable insights show the health and recoverability of your backups, delivering structured outputs for audit, regulatory, and cyber insurance needs.
