Advanced Recovery Intelligence for AWS and Azure

Ensure your recovery is clean before you even hit "Restore". We’ve introduced advanced threat hunting and "Cyber Recovery" tabs into the restore workflow for AWS (EC2/EBS) and Azure Virtual Machines.

• Pre-Recovery Threat Hunt: Pinpoint the exact "clean" snapshot needed for a successful restore.
• Integrated Restore Scans: Perform Cloud-based IOC (Indicator of Compromise) and AV (Antivirus) scans on selected restore points to verify they are free of malware.
• Real-Time Visibility: Gain immediate insights into the health of your snapshots with automated intelligence.

Note: Access to these features requires a Security Posture & Observability, Accelerated Ransomware Recovery, or Premium license.

CloudCache is Now TurboTier

We are excited to introduce TurboTier, a high-performance upgrade to CloudCache designed to boost local recovery capabilities.

Key benefits

• Meet Aggressive RTOs: Instantly restore VMware virtual machines directly from TurboTier.
• Lower total cost of ownership: Deploy the software-defined appliance on existing virtual machines or commodity hardware, eliminating proprietary hardware lock-in.
• Simplify multi-site management: Oversee all TurboTier instances through a "single pane of glass" integrated directly into the Data Security Cloud.
• Data Integrity: Automated checks detect local corruption to ensure your backups are always viable.
• Optimize network performance: Control data syncs during off-peak hours using built-in throttling and source-side deduplication.

Strengthen Cyber Resilience with Ransomware Impact Detection

Introducing AI-driven Ransomware Impact Detection, which uses Machine Learning to identify ransomware strains in your backups. This "plug-and-play" feature requires no learning period and helps distinguish between infected and clean restore points instantly.

• Detect Zero-Day Threats: Models behavior to spot suspicious activity rather than relying solely on virus signatures.
• Minimize Alert Fatigue: A weighted AI framework filters out normal file changes to provide high-precision alerts.
• Supported Workloads: Available for VMware, Azure VM, and AWS (EC2/EBS) workloads.

Claude Desktop Backup 

As AI becomes central to the modern workflow, Druva is extending protection to your AI interactions. We now support automated, policy-driven backup for the Claude Desktop application.

• Secure AI Context: Safeguard your AI-powered work history, prompts, and project files.
• Compliance Ready: Ensure that AI usage within your organization meets data retention and governance standards.
• Easy Recovery: Quickly restore deleted local AI context or project history.
