Integration unifies security and IT teams with comprehensive view across security environments to accelerate incident response.

Druva has announced a new integration with Microsoft Sentinel that allows security operations teams to gain a unified perspective of data insights across their company's security and backup systems. This integration incorporates backup telemetry, system behaviors, data anomalies, and threat detections directly into the security operations framework, offering customers centralized monitoring and real-time threat detection.

According to recent data, 57% of backup compromises succeeded, hindering ransomware recovery efforts. Druva's partnership with Microsoft Sentinel addresses these challenges by providing a shared view for security and IT teams.

“The challenge top of mind for every security professional is: How can I stay ahead of emerging threats?” said Yogesh Badwe, CSO at Druva. “Druva’s integration with Microsoft Sentinel empowers security teams with comprehensive visibility across all production and backup environments—meaning, the moment the SecOps team detects a threat, they can shift into response and remediation workflows.”

Microsoft Sentinel functions as a cloud-native security information and event management (SIEM) platform that utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze extensive security log data. The integration with Druva enables security teams to gain additional insights and respond to security threats more promptly without extra security solutions. Key benefits include:

  • Bi-Directional Integration: Ensures a seamless and real-time connection between the Druva Data Security Cloud and Microsoft Sentinel, allowing security operations (SecOps) teams to quarantine compromised snapshots directly within the Microsoft Sentinel console.
  • Faster Threat Detection & Recovery: By utilizing backup telemetry insights, SecOps teams can identify cyber threats in real-time.
  • Improved Productivity: Enhances the speed and efficiency of incident response.
  • Enhanced Security Visibility & Compliance: Centralized management in Sentinel, augmented by Druva's insights, supports threat hunting and compliance.

This integration is part of Druva's ongoing collaboration with Microsoft to enhance data security, compliance, and operational consistency across various Microsoft technologies.

Druva’s integration with Microsoft Sentinel is available today in the Azure Marketplace. For further details on Druva’s support for the Microsoft security ecosystem, more information can be found on their website.
