ShelterZoom Launches the ‘Zero-Downtime Continuity’ Category With Spare Tire Platform

Suite Unifies Seven Products, Redefining Cyber and Operational Resilience

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / April 28, 2026 / ShelterZoom®, the deep tech cybersecurity company revolutionizing digital content ownership through its Document Token® innovation and the leading provider of healthcare EHR downtime resilience solutions, today announces its end-to-end Spare Tire® solution as the first-of-its-kind category for enabling zero-downtime continuity and operational resilience.

As AI-driven threats emerge as the next frontier for cybersecurity, a new framework for addressing the crisis is the only way forward. Zero-downtime continuity marks a departure from traditional backup, disaster recovery and business continuity solutions, which aim to restore systems after failure. Spare Tire by ShelterZoom, our expanded continuity platform built on the foundation of proven EHR-downtime resilience, establishes continuity during downtime as the new normal.

Operational resilience across the enterprise requires a fundamental shift from reactive recovery to proactive continuity. As Gartner emphasizes, “It’s not about trying to avoid disruption – it’s a matter of what you do with and during disruption,” in its publication titled Build Operational Resilience to Safeguard Business Continuity. Through ShelterZoom’s proprietary blend of external-cloud resilience, comprehensive downtime continuity across critical systems, cryptography-based data tokenization and trusted AI infrastructure, Spare Tire paves the way for a digital future where data, content and infrastructure are resilient, controlled, verified, and protected.

This proactive approach enables users to continue working in real time with synchronized, validated data without interruption, data loss or delays, redefining how organizations operate through failure. Instead of recovering after disruption, organizations maintain continuous operations without downtime, shifting from a reactive model to true operational resilience.

“ShelterZoom’s Spare Tire platform provides healthcare organizations with a comprehensive approach for zero-downtime, as well as cyber and operational resilience that can significantly reduce downtime,” said Hector Rodriguez, principal industry specialist and security leader, Healthcare and Life Sciences at Amazon Web Services (AWS). “This solution, with plans to be available in AWS Marketplace, enables healthcare organizations to maintain continuous operations and remain focused on delivering uninterrupted care to their patients.”

The expanded industry-agnostic Spare Tire platform, rooted in healthcare, comprises seven products within three distinct suites designed to deliver better business outcomes for organizations:

Core Continuity Suite:

  • Spare Tire Healthcare: Zero electronic healthcare record (EHR) clinical downtime

  • Spare Tire Business: Zero document and workflow downtime

Spare Tire’s Protection Suite:

  • Document GPS: Enables organizations to persistently protect, control, track and recall documents, files and email attachments even after sharing, using advanced cryptography, file-level protection, and end-to-end chain of custody.

  • CyberVault: Tokenized, tamper-proof, contamination-free infrastructure for cyber and AI resilience

  • QuantumVault (Roadmap): Tokenized, tamper-proof, contamination-free infrastructure for quantum resilience

  • PhishNet: Detects phishing scams lurking inside email attachments.

AI Suite:

  • Mithra AI: A next-generation AI trust layer for secure, governed AI operations and trusted decision-making – eliminating shadow AI, preventing hallucinations and data leakage, detecting compromised AI agents, and ensuring every output is verifiable, traceable, and backed by advanced cryptographic and data lineage controls.

“While 74% of traditional DR/backup systems fail post-recovery due to contaminated data, those systems rely on replica-based database backups that simply copy the problem,” said ShelterZoom CEO Chao-Cheng Shorland. “Spare Tire is not a database backup – it transforms business workflows into validated, continuously available operations, with mandatory data validation before ingestion to eliminate this failure mode entirely. Legacy systems answer: ‘How fast can we recover?’ Spare Tire answers: ‘How do we never stop?’”

With its continuous operation during outages, requiring no dependency on failover or restoration processes, zero-downtime marks a shift from “restore after failure” to “eliminate downtime altogether.”

“Cyberattacks and system outages are no longer rare events,” Becker’s Hospital Review noted in a recent whitepaper detailing the growing gap between cybersecurity defenses and operational readiness. “For healthcare organizations, they are recurring threats that interrupt care, strain staff and ultimately undermine patient safety.”

“Having lived through a 23-day ransomware outage at a previous organization, I can say with absolute certainty that the industry’s reliance on paper downtime procedures is fundamentally broken. Within 24 hours, paper processes collapsed – charts were piled everywhere, runners were scrambling to deliver pharmacy orders and lab results, and clinical efficiency deteriorated rapidly. It ultimately took us seven months to re-enter and reconcile that data,” said John Gaede, CIO of San Juan Regional Medical Center. “Spare Tire represents a true paradigm shift. Zero-downtime continuity is not just an IT improvement, it’s an operational and patient safety imperative. Eliminating paper-based downtime changes how healthcare systems think about resilience. This is a game changer for any organization serious about maintaining uninterrupted care in the face of cyberattacks or system outages.”

The growing gap between cybersecurity defenses and operational readiness underscores how Spare Tire is poised to reshape resilience strategies across healthcare, life sciences, government and other critical sectors.
