Identity is so much more than a part of your security stack; it’s the control plane that determines who can access what across your apps, infrastructure, and data. And when identity goes down (or gets tampered with), business recovery often grinds to a halt.

That’s the reality behind the “identity gap”: modern attacks and misconfigurations move fast, while native tools and manual recovery workflows struggle to restore trusted access quickly, especially across hybrid environments.

That’s why we’ve introduced Druva Identity Resilience, purpose-built to protect identity as a foundational layer of the modern enterprise across Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, and Microsoft Active Directory (AD).

What is Druva Identity Resilience?

At a high level, Druva Identity Resilience is organized around three pillars:

• Unified Protection: Establish an immutable source of truth for identity objects, configurations, and relationships, managed from a fully SaaS-delivered platform.
• Cyber Recovery: Recover the identity layer first, using high-fidelity restores and surgical rollback to re-enable safe access without reintroducing malicious changes.
• Detection & Response: Improve visibility and reduce guesswork with actionable insights that help teams understand what changed, and act faster during incident response.

But the real story is what this looks like at the workload level, where identity teams live every day.

Identity Resilience for Okta: Recover access with dependencies intact

Okta is often the “front door” to business-critical applications. And while Okta delivers strong infrastructure availability, the integrity of the data inside your tenant, including users, groups, policies, app assignments, and configurations, is still your responsibility.

That shared-responsibility reality introduces risk:

• A compromised admin account, bad script, or accidental policy change can lock out the workforce.
• Restoring individual objects isn’t enough. Identity is a web of dependencies (MFA policies, SSO rules, entitlements) that must reconnect correctly to restore functional access.
• Rebuilding a tenant through scripts and support processes can take days, far too long during an outage or attack.

Druva Identity Resilience for Okta brings fully managed, cloud-native protection with air-gapped, immutable backups and dependency-aware recovery so you can restore access quickly and confidently.

What you can do at the Okta workload level:

• Protect key Okta objects with automated, policy-based incremental backups
• Roll back a misconfigured MFA policy, deleted group, or broken SSO rule without restoring the full tenant
• Restore users, groups, policies, and app configurations in a way that preserves critical relationships for functional access
• Detect anomalous activity (like mass deletions) and compare snapshots to see exactly what changed
• Support compliance workflows with detailed logs, audit-ready reporting, and even download backups offline when required
• Use cross-tenant seeding and cross-tenant recovery to speed DevOps validation, M&A integration, or disaster recovery to a clean instance

Identity Resilience for Microsoft Entra ID: Protect the identity backbone of Microsoft Cloud

Microsoft Entra ID is the backbone of identity and access management for Microsoft Cloud resources. If Entra ID isn’t available, users can’t work in Microsoft 365 or Azure, and outages, compromises, and misconfigurations quickly turn into widespread business disruption.

Druva Identity Resilience for Entra ID enables a policy-driven approach to protect and recover critical identity objects, backed by logically air-gapped, immutable storage hosted by Druva.

Where this gets powerful is in the scope and fidelity of what you can protect and restore; not just objects, but the settings and relationships that make identity functional.

What you can protect and recover in Entra ID:

• Users (including associated metadata and relationships like hierarchy/reporting structures)
• Groups (with memberships preserved)
• Roles (and role associations that power RBAC)
• Devices (view/download for governance needs)
• Enterprise applications and app registrations (restored to configured states, including key settings like client IDs)
• Administrative units, conditional access policies, and privileged identity management (PIM) configurations

What you can do at the Entra ID workload level:

• Restore critical identity objects with their relationships, like group memberships, so access controls come back correctly
• Use object comparative restores to compare snapshots and recover specific data points faster
• Export backed-up Entra ID data as JSON and import into a new Entra ID instance to support portability and clean-instance recovery scenarios

Identity Resilience for Active Directory: From surgical restores to full forest recovery

Active Directory remains the on-premises operational heart of many enterprises, controlling access to servers, endpoints, and applications across the environment, and syncing identities to cloud providers. When AD is disrupted by ransomware, accidental deletion, corruption, or infrastructure failure, the impact is immediate: users can’t authenticate, apps can’t authorize, and operations can stall.

Many organizations still rely on native Windows Server Backup, which wasn’t designed for modern cyber threats or high-pressure recovery, leading to familiar pain points:

• Limited backup scheduling (once per day) and slow, monolithic restores when you only need to recover an object
• Limited visibility into subtle attacks or rogue account creation, and no encryption to help prevent compromise
• High operational complexity, especially when forest recovery becomes necessary

Druva Identity Resilience for Microsoft Active Directory is a fully managed SaaS solution designed to restore trust and function through air-gapped, immutable backups, surgical rollbacks, and guided forest-level recovery.

What you can do at the AD workload level:

• Protect critical AD components across domain and forest environments, including users, groups, devices, OUs, GPOs, AD FS, and Domain Controller configurations
• Run flexible schedules (with default daily full system state on each DC) and take ad-hoc backups before major changes
• Restore users, groups, devices, and OUs without restarting Domain Controllers
• Restore individual GPOs, links, or entire GPO sets
• Use guided workflows for full forest disaster recovery to re-establish your “root of trust” after catastrophic compromise
• Centralize reporting, role-based access control, alerting (including restore activity), and immutable audit logging to support operational and compliance needs

One platform for hybrid identity resilience

Identity environments are rarely “single-vendor.” Many enterprises run hybrid identity across Okta, Entra ID, and AD, and recovery becomes harder when protection is siloed.

Druva Identity Resilience unifies protection and recovery across this identity fabric, establishing an immutable source of truth and enabling identity-first recovery to help teams restore trusted access and move forward with downstream workload recovery.
