AI is quickly moving from experimentation to execution.
Across the enterprise, organizations are actively building AI-powered applications, workflows, and decision-making systems that connect directly to business data. And increasingly, Microsoft Power Platform is where that work is happening.
As Power Platform becomes more deeply embedded in business operations, the assets inside it become more valuable and more vulnerable. A corrupted dashboard, a broken workflow, a compromised connector, or a misconfigured automation can do more than create IT inconvenience. It can disrupt business logic, impact downstream decisions, and undermine trust in the very systems organizations are counting on to scale AI.
That is why we are introducing Druva support for Microsoft Power Platform, starting with Power BI.
With Druva, organizations bring cloud-native data protection and cyber resilience to a critical part of the Microsoft AI and application stack. This ensures that the insights, workflows, and assets they build remain secure, resilient, and recoverable.
As organizations build faster, the blast radius grows
The more businesses build with AI and low-code tools, the more new forms of operational and security risk emerge. The same platforms that make it easier to innovate can also accelerate the impact of mistakes, misconfigurations, insider actions, or cyber threats.
This is especially true in environments shaped by citizen development and fast-moving automation. Business logic can drift. Dependencies can become fragile. Sensitive data can spread across apps and workflows with limited visibility. Small changes can break larger processes. And when something goes wrong, recovery is rarely as simple as restoring a single file.
Power BI is a perfect example.
For many organizations, Power BI is already the analytics and operational intelligence layer behind executive reporting, forecasting, operational visibility, and customer insights. It is increasingly feeding the systems and workflows that AI depends on. But despite its importance, protection still often relies on manual exports and limited native capabilities.
That creates a dangerous gap.
A manually downloaded file captures only a static point in time. It does not preserve the full Power BI environment, including workspace structure, permissions, dependencies, connectors, or ongoing changes. And when those assets are lost, corrupted, or affected by a cyber incident, teams may be forced into slow, error-prone rebuilds with no easy way to restore exactly what the business needs.
What Druva delivers today
Druva brings cloud-native backup and cyber resilience to Microsoft Power Platform, beginning with Power BI. This initial release helps organizations protect the assets that support both business decision-making and the broader AI initiatives being built across Microsoft environments. With Druva, teams automate protection, reduce manual effort, and recover critical assets with confidence.
That includes protection for Power BI workspace configurations, reports, semantic models, dataflows, dashboards, data connectors, and apps, all delivered through its fully managed SaaS platform to simplify operations and strengthen resilience.
With Druva, organizations can:
- Automatically discover Power BI assets across the tenant without manual effort.
- Apply policy-driven backup schedules and retention controls that scale with the environment.
- Recover granular Power BI assets from point-in-time snapshots without rebuilding everything from scratch.
- Extend retention beyond native limitations to support governance and compliance needs.
- Protect backup data with air-gapped, immutable storage isolated from the primary Microsoft tenant.
- Unify protection across the broader Microsoft ecosystem through a single platform that already supports Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Dynamics 365, Azure workloads, and more.
This gives organizations a more resilient foundation for the platforms they use to build and run the next generation of business processes and AI-driven operations.
Setting the foundation for Power Platform protection
Power BI is the first step, not the entire story.
This launch marks the beginning of Druva’s broader strategy to protect Microsoft Power Platform as a whole, expanding beyond analytics into the applications, workflows, and AI-powered experiences organizations are increasingly using to run their businesses.
As that strategy evolves, Druva plans to extend protection across Power Apps and Power Automate, where organizations are beginning to build custom AI agents and copilots tied to proprietary data and business processes.
When enterprises shift into these environments, cyber resilience has to evolve with them. Druva’s opportunity is to become the safety net for that AI-led transformation: helping customers move faster with Power Platform while maintaining the ability to protect, recover, and govern what they build.
How Dru MetaGraph and DruAI fit into this story
This is where Druva’s bigger platform story comes into focus…
As organizations build more across Power Platform, they need better context. They need to understand how assets connect, what changed, what is impacted, and where risk is emerging across an interconnected environment.
That is the strategic role of Dru MetaGraph.
MetaGraph is Druva’s graph-powered data foundation that correlates signals across customer backup environments, connecting users, data, activity, configuration, permissions, and events into a richer, tenant-specific view. As Microsoft Power Platform data and relationships become part of that foundation, Druva can extend visibility into dependencies, workflows, and risk signals across these environments.
Over time, that richer context helps move the value of protection beyond storage and restore.
It creates the foundation for more intelligent experiences through DruAI to help teams surface insights faster, investigate issues with better context, simplify troubleshooting, and make more confident recovery decisions in complex environments.
Today, Druva is delivering cyber resilience for Power BI. Tomorrow, as Power Platform environments become more deeply tied to AI applications, workflows, and copilots, Druva is laying the groundwork for a more intelligent way to protect and understand that entire application layer.
Build with AI, recover with confidence
As Power Platform becomes the foundation for your AI processes, protecting what you build is no longer optional.
With Druva for Microsoft Power BI, protect the assets that power your business decisions today and lay a strong foundation for the AI-powered workflows and applications you look to build tomorrow.
