<\/a><\/a>Enterprise data protection is entering a new phase as AI becomes embedded across business workflows and identity becomes increasingly connected to how data is accessed, governed and recovered. Backup and recovery can no longer operate as isolated infrastructure. When something goes wrong, IT and security teams need to understand what changed, determine what can be trusted, and restore operations with confidence. That requires a context-aware foundation connecting data, metadata, identities, permissions and recovery history.<\/p>
Druva was built with a fully managed SaaS architecture that isolates backup data and credentials from the primary network while reducing customer-managed infrastructure. Through Dru MetaGraph, Druva brings graph-based context to backup and recovery, helping organizations map relationships across data, metadata, identity and permissions. With DruAI, the platform extends this foundation with AI-driven investigation, identity-aware recovery, and agentic workflows. Customers can restore not only the data, but the identity and permission context around it without managing backup infrastructure.<\/p>
\u201cAI is accelerating both cyber threats and day-to-day change across the enterprise,\u201d said Jaspreet Singh, CEO of Druva. \u201cAs AI becomes part of more workflows, data protection has to preserve the context organizations need when something goes wrong, including what changed, which identities and permissions were involved, and which data can be trusted. In our opinion, being named a Leader for the second consecutive year reflects the growing need for fully managed SaaS data protection built for this level of speed, context and security.\u201d<\/p>
