Enhanced cyber recovery and unified coverage across Microsoft 365, Entra ID, and Azure strengthen enterprise cyber resilience

SANTA CLARA, Calif. --(BUSINESS WIRE)

Druva, a leading provider of data security, today announced the expansion of its Microsoft ecosystem coverage with a series of new capabilities designed to strengthen cyber resilience and simplify protection for enterprise environments. The new capabilities help enterprises ensure clean and timely recovery of business-critical Microsoft data with zero infrastructure complexity.

Enterprises rely on Microsoft workloads to power operations, collaboration, and identity access across the organization, but their central role in business operations increases exposure to ransomware and insider threats. Traditional backup tools often fall short, failing to guarantee clean recovery points or consistent compliance. The Druva Data Security Cloud delivers a fully managed, cloud-native solution that eliminates infrastructure complexity and unifies protection, governance, and recovery to help organizations detect threats earlier, maintain compliance, and restore clean data with confidence.

“Microsoft environments are the foundation of enterprise operations, so they are prime targets for cyberattacks,” said Stephen Manley, CTO at Druva. “Businesses need a comprehensive solution that safeguards every facet of their Microsoft 365 environment and ensures IT and security teams have complete visibility and recoverability across their infrastructure. The Druva Data Security Cloud addresses this need, giving customers assurance that their Microsoft environments are secure and resilient.”

Strengthening the Most Comprehensive Microsoft Workload Protection

Druva’s deep integration with the Microsoft ecosystem — including Microsoft Windows, Microsoft 365, Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft Dynamics 365, and core Azure services such as Azure VM, Azure SQL, and Azure Blob Storage — positions it as a leader in SaaS-based data protection and security. Today, Druva is expanding functionality to introduce:

Expanded Microsoft Entra ID Protection

Identity is the new security perimeter, and protecting it is critical to enterprise resilience. Druva now supports Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access Policies and Administrative Units, enabling organizations to apply the same identity-based controls that protect logins to also safeguard backup and recovery operations. Delivered through the Druva Data Security Cloud, this cloud-native integration reduces exposure to identity-driven attacks and strengthens compliance across complex, multi-tenant environments.

Advanced Cyber Recovery for Azure Virtual Machines

Ransomware increasingly targets backup data, making clean recovery a critical priority. The Druva Data Security Cloud now delivers advanced cyber recovery capabilities for Azure Virtual Machines (VMs), including malware and IOC scans during restore, AI-driven anomaly detection, and Safe Mode lockdown. These enhancements help organizations detect threats earlier, contain incidents faster, and recover clean data with confidence.

Cloud-Native Protection for Azure Files

Protecting file shares has long been a balancing act between complexity and risk. Traditional agent-based backups create dependencies that are difficult to manage and easy to break. Druva’s new agentless Azure Files backup delivers cloud-native protection that removes those vulnerabilities, simplifies operations, and ensures ransomware-resilient data protection — all managed within the Druva Data Security Cloud.

Protecting Collaboration and Communication for Microsoft Teams Private Chat

Private chat conversations in Microsoft Teams often contain sensitive business and compliance-driven information, yet they’ve historically been difficult to protect. Druva now extends Microsoft 365 coverage to include Microsoft Teams Private Chat, ensuring critical one-to-one and group chat conversations are securely backed up and recoverable. With comprehensive protection across Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams, organizations can maintain compliance and continuity without disrupting collaboration.

Together, these capabilities reinforce Druva’s leadership in cloud-native data protection and cyber resilience, giving customers a unified view of their Microsoft and Azure environments and enabling faster, cleaner, and more secure recovery across the enterprise.

Industry Quotes

“With Druva, we have confidence that our Microsoft data is always protected and recoverable,” said Scott Laird, Cloud Administrator, Manufacturing Technology, Inc. “The platform gives us the assurance that even in a cyber incident, we can recover quickly and cleanly. It’s comprehensive, easy to manage, and keeps our team resilient while saving time and reducing cost.”

“Customers today need modern, cloud-native solutions that can keep pace with evolving threats,” said Joe Hepburn, Data Management Lead at Bytes Software Services. “Druva’s fully managed SaaS platform delivers the simplicity and resilience enterprises need to protect Microsoft environments, and we’re seeing strong customer momentum around this approach.”

“Enterprises are rethinking how they secure identity and access,” said Scott Harrison, Infrastructure Solutions Executive at CDW. “Druva’s cloud-native Entra ID protection brings cyber resilience into that equation, helping organizations close critical security gaps, strengthen governance, and recover cleanly from identity-based threats.”

Expanded protection for Microsoft Entra ID is generally available today. Advanced cyber recovery for Azure VM, agentless Azure Files backup, and protection for Microsoft Teams will be generally available soon.
