The cloud is no longer just a future aspiration; it's the operational reality for businesses worldwide. Companies are rapidly migrating their most critical applications and data to cloud environments like AWS and Azure. Yet, amidst this transformative shift, one fundamental aspect has struggled to keep pace: how we truly protect the data that powers our businesses.
Long before SaaS became the industry standard, we recognized that data protection needed a radical rethink. At Druva, we saw what others didn’t: traditional data protection tools — built for static, on-premises environments — weren’t designed for the speed, scale, or complexity of the cloud. Even so-called “cloud-based” offerings often repackaged legacy infrastructure, still weighed down by hardware, manual upkeep, and outdated assumptions.
We didn’t repackage. We reimagined. We pioneered something fundamentally different: a fully managed SaaS approach to data protection that’s as scalable and resilient as the cloud itself.
From Disruption to Dominance
With the trust of our customers, the support of our partners, and the dedication of our incredible team, I’m proud to share that Druva has been named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Backup and Data Protection Platforms.
This recognition underscores a powerful momentum building at Druva, further amplified by our 4.9/5 star rating in the 2025 Gartner® Peer Insights™ — the highest ever in any category.
This isn't merely a testament to Druva; it's validation of a significant inflection point in the market. The world is finally ready — and in many ways, overdue — for a smarter, simpler, and more resilient standard for data security. It affirms what we've known for a long time: fully-managed SaaS is the new baseline for modern data security and protection.
Why the Time is Now
The risks businesses face are escalating. Ransomware attacks are evolving faster than ever, actively targeting backups. AI is giving attackers unprecedented speed and sophistication. And the existing tools many rely on were simply not designed to withstand today's threats.
Cloud-native architectures modernized how we approach data security, and fully-managed SaaS redefines how it’s delivered.
- Unmatched Simplicity, Performance, and Cost Efficiency: Druva is purpose-built to take full advantage of cloud-native architecture, optimizing your costs and performance. That means no egress fees, no infrastructure overhead, no replication headaches, and no more guesswork on capacity planning.
- Inherently Safer by Design: Fully-managed SaaS protection isn’t just convenient — it’s fundamentally more secure. Your data is air-gapped, immutable, and stored separately from production. With over 11+ industry-leading security certifications, including FedRAMP, Druva is the most trusted solution.
- GenAI Ready: GenAI has the power to transform your data from a liability to a market-leading differentiator. With Druva, all your data is centrally managed in the cloud and ready to be integrated into the enterprise agentic stack.
Druva's Unwavering Commitment: A Hedgehog Among the Foxes
While most of the market focuses on offering customers a wide range of architectural choices, we have always focused on doing one thing well. Over 7,500 customers already understand this difference. They don't just get backup; they gain fully managed cyber resilience, compliance readiness, and significant cost savings.
Our recognition as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant underscores that our unique approach — being the only fully managed SaaS platform for cyber resilience — is not just differentiated, but critical for the future of data protection.
To our incredible customers, dedicated partners, and the entire Druva team — thank you!
The Next Frontier of Innovation
While this recognition is a significant milestone, it's not a finish line. The landscape of data security is relentlessly dynamic, driven by the rapid evolution of AI and the increasing sophistication of threats.
Data security cannot afford to stand still, and neither will we.
We pioneered the cloud wave in the industry. And now with GenAI, Druva is committed to leading the way in both agentic automation and AI security.
