New Threat Hunting and Managed Data Detection
and Response capabilities help businesses respond faster to cyber
incidents
Druva, the leading provider of data security, today announced
new capabilities to help its customers accelerate the investigation
and remediation of cyber threats. The new Threat Hunting capability
empowers IT and security teams to search their global data
footprint for indicators of compromise (IOCs). Druva is also
announcing the expanded global availability of Managed Data
Detection and Response (Managed DDR), a managed service that uses a
combination of technology and human expertise to proactively
monitor customer backups for faster detection of and response to
threats.
While traditional security tools focus primarily on the
perimeter and production environment, these tools don’t provide
full-picture visibility into the data, which could lead to
prolonged and incomplete digital forensics and incident analysis.
Druva's approach to leveraging data and insights across incident
response addresses this gap and complements existing security
strategies. With Druva, customers can accelerate incident response,
minimize downtime, and prevent data loss.
“With today’s more advanced and persistent threats, we need to
go beyond perimeter-based security. Cybersecurity needs to be
complemented with the power of data to handle these risks,” said
Jaspreet Singh, CEO and co-founder of Druva. “Druva’s 100% SaaS
approach seamlessly consolidates and contextualizes data across all
workloads, enabling customers to bolster cyber resilience and
accelerate incident response.”
Threat Hunting for Indicators of Compromise
With new Threat Hunting capabilities for indicators of
compromise (IOCs), Druva allows customers to more quickly
understand the gestation, timeline, and impact of threats
throughout their data environment.
Druva also empowers IT and security teams with contextual data
insights throughout incident response (IR) workflows to understand,
remediate, and recover from critical incidents. Key benefits to
Druva’s approach include:
- Faster response: Druva’s granular logs of data changes
and audit trails help IR teams to analyze incidents.
- Centralized threat hunting: Powered by rich metadata,
Druva enables IR teams to identify and remediate IOCs, such as
specific file extensions or file patterns, across the entire data
estate.
- Cleaner recovery: Druva scans multiple backups to create
a curated snapshot and identify the most recent, clean version of
each file, minimizing data loss, ensuring secure recovery, and
accelerating the recovery process.
- Enhanced forensics: With access to context-rich data,
users can perform sensitive data analysis to understand if
sensitive data has been compromised and if compliance regulations
have been violated.
Fully Managed Data Detection and Response for Backup
Environments
Threat actors are targeting backup environments with
increasingly sophisticated attacks. With extensive experience and
operational oversight, Druva can offer businesses the resources and
expertise to understand, protect, and recover from threats to their
backups with minimal downtime and data loss.
Today, Druva extends this expertise through the simplicity of
Managed DDR to provide customers with an expert extension to their
IR team. With Managed DDR, Druva delivers:
- 24x7x365 monitoring of backups for early threat detection.
- Expert analysis by Druva incident response to provide data
insights for anomalous behavior.
- Pre-built response runbooks and automatic lockdown of backups
to safeguard data.
- Expedited support and expert assistance to customer IR teams
during cyber recovery.
With Druva, businesses can gain confidence throughout their IR
workflows with access to a single source of truth and IR experts
who can assist in incident remediation and recovery. Druva’s
Managed DDR service is currently available to customers at no
additional charge.
“Backups are the last line of defense. In the event they are
compromised, organizations need to know they’re still able to
recover,” said Phil Goodwin, Research Vice President at IDC. “Druva
not only guarantees recovery, but they also complement existing
security tools with its approach to data security. The Druva Data
Security Cloud provides customers with the context-rich insights
that security and IR teams need to quickly respond to and
effectively remediate threats.”
