In 2016, a company was hit hard by ransomware. Their data was encrypted, their systems rebuilt, and their backups assumed clean. For nearly ten years, the remnants of that attack lay dormant—undetected by every antivirus and security tool they trusted.
Just six days after deployment, Predatar’s Cleanrooms AI-driven backup scanning flagged a suspicious file: a ransom note from the Locky ransomware family, buried deep in a restored virtual machine. It wasn’t active malware—but it was proof. Proof that the attack had never truly left.
Predatar Cleanroom don’t just scan backups — it interrogate them. It hunts for anomalies that traditional tools miss. And it finds them. Fast.
A clean slate. The final trace of a decade-old breach, erased.
80% of organizations using Cleanroom discover hidden malware in their backups. Often live. Often dangerous. And often invisible to frontline defenses.
This isn’t about one file. It’s about a new standard in cyber resilience. Because if your backups aren’t clean, your recovery isn’t safe.
