Microsoft cloud services are the backbone of modern business: identity in Entra ID, collaboration in Microsoft 365, and critical infrastructure in Azure. That ubiquity makes them prime targets for increasingly sophisticated attacks. Organizations need cyber resilience that goes beyond native tooling — resilience that delivers clean recovery across the Microsoft estate, without operational drag.
Why Druva is Built for Microsoft & Azure Protection
Druva provides a fully managed, cloud-native cyber resilience solution for Microsoft workloads and Azure environments, offering seamless backup, compliance support, and advanced ransomware protection without any infrastructure.
With seamless backup to Azure storage to meet data residency and compliance requirements, Druva makes securing Microsoft workloads simpler, more cost-effective, and inherently more resilient…but that’s not all!
What’s New at Microsoft Ignite?
Druva is expanding its Microsoft ecosystem coverage with new capabilities we’re excited to showcase at Microsoft Ignite 2025.
Building on support for Microsoft and Azure, we’ve introduced agentless backup for Azure Files, enhanced cyber resilience for Azure VMs, new Entra ID security enhancements, and expanded Microsoft 365 coverage, including Teams Private Chats.
These innovations allow enterprises to unify protection across Microsoft workloads in one platform. With zero infrastructure to manage, AI-driven anomaly detection, and ransomware recovery intelligence built in, organizations recover clean data with confidence.
Get the details on these new developments below, and schedule a meeting with us at the show to see them in action!
Azure Files (NEW): Agentless, Cloud-Native Backup
We’re extending protection to Azure Files with an agentless approach, eliminating deployment overhead, and ensuring immutable, ransomware-resilient backups are managed alongside your other workloads in Druva. You get unified protection, lower ops burden, stronger resilience, and simplified compliance management.
Visit the Azure Files page and check out the datasheet to learn more.
Azure VMs: Stronger Cyber Resilience
New capabilities make every recovery a cyber recovery.
- Cyber Recovery (in-line restore scanning): Validate recovery points and block malicious files at restore time.
- Data Anomaly Detection: ML baselines flag mass deletions/encryptions early.
- Managed DDR with Safe Mode: Lock down consoles, block deletions, and contain blast radius during an incident.
Together, these features reduce time-to-detect, contain active threats, and ensure confidence in clean, verified restores. Visit the Azure VM page and read the solution brief.
Entra ID: Policy-Aligned Protection
Druva now supports Conditional Access Policies and Administrative Units, aligning backup and recovery with enterprise identity governance. Support for AWS KMS key encryption adds another layer of security and compliance. Visit the webpage and download the datasheet for more information.
Microsoft 365: Deeper Coverage & Simpler Scale
We now protect Teams Private Chats, among the most sensitive and compliance-driven data in Microsoft 365. As many enterprises struggle to protect them, Druva’s new support addresses this gap. Get the details on the webpage and in the datasheet.
