Druva:
Secure by Design

No infrastructure or maintenance needed. Get always-on security, scalable storage, and seamless recovery — no complex management required.

“Secure by Implementation” Is Code
for “You’re on Your Own”


Legacy vendors like Veeam put you in charge of securing and monitoring everything: hardware, patching, configuration, and recovery processes. That’s a lot of spinning plates. Miss one update or leave a system unpatched? Threat actors can exploit gaps like high-risk CVEs to compromise your backup environment and data. It’s what we call “secure by implementation.” You build it, you secure it, you monitor it, you own the fallout.

As your environment grows (more data centers, branch offices, public cloud, Microsoft 365) the complexity snowballs, and so does the risk. And here’s the kicker—ransomware loves a legacy backup system. They’re still prime targets for a reason.

Decades of Vulnerabilities
Veeam’s Ongoing Security Struggles


Veeam’s security story isn’t getting better with age.
Over the past 15 months alone (Mar 2025–Jan 2024), CVE.org reported 42+ vulnerabilities. This isn’t a blip on the radar, it’s part of a broader pattern that’s spanned 8 of the last 10 years.


With Veeam, you’re on the hook to monitor these threats, decide when to patch, and mitigate gaps. That’s not cyber resilience, it’s risk management on a tightrope.

When “Oh, We Thought Our Backups Were Safe...” Doesn't Recover Lost Data


Because when ransomware hits or data vanishes, you’ll wish you had a time machine. Secure backups with fast recovery are the next best thing.

Backup Security Must-Haves

Legacy backup needs babysitting with constant patching and careful configuration. SaaS solutions patch automatically and eliminate hidden vulnerabilities.

Monitor Data for Anomalies

Ransomware hides in plain sight. Backup platforms must detect data anomalies early to stop attackers before recovery becomes impossible.

Data Protection is Security

Backups aren't "insurance," they’re a security asset. Without strong protection, they're the first thing a bad actor will destroy.

Druva vs. Veeam –
Risk Reduction FAQ

Druva’s SaaS design removes the need to manage or patch backup servers or consoles. Security is built into the platform and storage, both of which are air-gapped and immutable. Automated updates, centralized controls, and Druva’s Managed DDR capability provide real-time monitoring and human alerts to reduce the risk of missed threats.

Backups are stored in Druva’s air-gapped, immutable cloud—isolated from threats and tampering. There’s no reliance on compromised infrastructure. On-demand, cloud-based malware scans ensure clean recovery points and let you restore confidently into cloud or local environments without reinfection risk.

Druva removes hardware and maintenance costs, with no patching required. Its simple licensing and pay-as-you-go model eliminate over-provisioning and make costs easy to predict. As your needs grow, Druva scales with you—delivering strong protection and lower TCO without surprises or infrastructure strain.

Druva scales to protect petabytes of data and thousands of users without infrastructure overhead. Centralized policy control secures data across data center, multi-cloud, and SaaS workloads with less complexity, ensuring consistent protection as your environment grows.

Druva protects cloud and on-premises workloads from one unified platform. Consistent encryption, policy enforcement, and simplified management eliminate risk from silos or manual setup. Druva CloudCache is a virtual appliance that provides a local storage option for both backup and fast local recovery for data centers and remote offices. Druva Data Security Cloud also provides an efficient disaster recovery as-a-service (DRaaS) capability, recognized as a 2024 Customer Choice by Gartner Peer Insight.

Druva’s control plane, orchestration, and storage are 100% SaaS, eliminating the need to deploy or manage core backup infrastructure. While lightweight agents may be used, they don’t introduce the same CVE exposure as patching consoles, databases, or servers. Centralized control and automated updates further reduce risk while improving resilience. Druva also supports leading compliance and security standards, including FedRAMP, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA, helping organizations across healthcare, government, and regulated industries meet regulatory and governance requirements with less effort.
