Malware Detection

Don’t let hidden threats undo your recovery efforts.

Redstor proactively scans, detects, and quarantines malware within your backups before it can compromise recovery.

Don’t let malware leave you in despair

Cybercriminals are getting smarter. One of their nastiest new tricks is embedding malware into your data backups, where it can lie dormant for weeks or months waiting to reintroduce itself.

Redstor’s malware detection identifies threats before you start a recovery. We automatically scan and quarantine suspicious files to ensure you only restore clean, secure, malware-free data.

How does it work?

Stop reinfection in its tracks

Restoring backups should mean a fresh start. But without the necessary checks, you can end up relaunching the very threat from which you’re trying to recover.

The average time to detect a data breach is 206 days – longer than most backup retention policies. You may not even realise your backups are infected until it’s too late.

Redstor’s malware detection:

  • Flags infected backups before recovery so you never restore compromised data, preventing costly downtime and security breaches.
  • Quarantines threats outside your network to stop malware from spreading.
  • Gives you instant clarity on risks, with severity and probability ratings viewable from your Redstor dashboard.

Zero impact on your resources

Traditional antivirus and endpoint protection tools scan files inside your environment. This can slow down your operations, use up valuable computing resources, and require frequent updates.

Our malware detection means:

  • No impact on device performance – malware scanning happens in Redstor’s platform, securing data at the backup level so it won’t impact your servers, laptops, or cloud applications.
  • No extra hardware or software to install, configure, or maintain – simply log in to your Redstor dashboard to view and action any suspicious files.
  • No manual updates – our machine learning model continuously improves as it scans, adapting to new threats without you ever needing to intervene.

Cool, calm, and compliant

Data privacy regulations are tightening worldwide, with organisations under increasing pressure to prove they’re proactively securing their sensitive data. 

Failure to prevent a breach? Huge fines, reputational damage, and lost customers. 

Redstor’s malware detection:

  • Prevents malware-related data breaches – ensure recoveries don’t contain threats that could compromise sensitive information.
  • Maintains immutable backups – prevent ransomware from encrypting or altering backup data.
  • Provides detailed audit logs – allow IT teams to track and document their cybersecurity measures for audits and compliance reports.
  • Supports industry regulations – uphold GDPR, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and NIST standards.
