Recovery Point Systems Enhances its Ransomware Recovery as a Service (RRaaS) with AI-powered Backup Validation

Recovery Point Systems, Inc., provider of cyber resiliency and business continuity solutions, announced an enhancement to its Ransomware Recovery as a Service (RRaaS) solution with the addition of AI-powered Backup Validation.This new capability enables organizations to verify the integrity of their backup images before initiating recovery, providing a higher level of assurance that restoration will be clean, secure, and operational following a cyberattack.

As ransomware continues to grow in sophistication and frequency, organizations face an increasing risk that their backups may be infected, incomplete, or unusable when they are needed most. According to the 2023 Veeam Ransomware Trends Report, 93% of ransomware attacks now target backup infrastructure itself, and 75% of organizations have experienced failed backup recoveries following a cyberattack. Recovery Point’s Backup Validation service is designed to close this cyber recovery gap by proactively scanning backup images in an isolated cleanroom environment for hidden threats before restoration is attempted. Unlike standard backup tools that confirm only whether data was saved, Backup Validation demonstrates whether backups are malware-free, bootable, and fully recoverable. Because this validation occurs continually, organizations gain ongoing proof of resilience rather than discovering issues for the first time during a crisis.

The managed service works in tandem with existing backup technologies and requires no rip-and-replace. It automatically restores backup images into a secure environment at Recovery Point’s data centers, where it performs system-level power-on testing, advanced malware scanning, and recoverability scoring. This provides organizations with quantifiable insights into the operational readiness of their backup data and supports regulatory and cyber insurance requirements with compliance-ready reporting.

“Backups alone don’t guarantee resilience,” said Brett Moss, president, Recovery Point Systems. “What differentiates Recovery Point is our focus on orchestrated, validated recovery. Backup Validation features continual testing, assuring clients that they have valid recoverable backups in the case of an attack. The solution also identifies dormant malware that may evade frontline defenses such as production XDR and EDR tools. With Backup Validation, we’re giving clients the confidence that every backup is not only intact, but also clean and fully restorable.”

Backup Validation is now included in Recovery Point’s RRaaS offering, which goes beyond backup to deliver complete cyber incident readiness and orchestrated recovery. It combines proactive planning, automated recovery workflows, and real-time visibility to ensure clients can resume business operations with speed and confidence.

Key Components of RRaaS include:

• Gap Assessment and DR Planning
• Immutable, Air-Gapped Backups
• Backup Scanning
• Recovery Plan Testing and Validation
• Hot Site Failover with Cleanroom Capabilities
• Runbook Management and Reporting
• Automated, Orchestrated Recovery
• Real-time Recovery Dashboard (Resiliency Console)

This enhancement strengthens the company’s commitment to proactive cyber resilience, giving clients not just a way to recover, but assurance in the integrity of every recovery point.
