Ransomware is evolving, threats are becoming stealthier, and increasingly, attackers are targeting backup data. Knowing that if they can compromise your last line of defense, they can significantly increase pressure to pay. Most security tools like EDR, SIM, XDR, focus on production systems. But attackers often dwell undetected for weeks or even months, embedding dormant malware in systems which end up in your backup data. If you're not scanning those backups, you risk restoring infected data back into production and restarting the attack all over again. That's where Druva Threat Insights comes in. It transforms your immutable backups into a proactive threat detection layer, continuously scanning for dormant threats and delivering clean, verifiable recovery points. With two key capabilities, ThreatWatch and ThreatHunt, you gain early visibility, forensic context and a confident path to recovery. All of this is powered by Druva's dynamic Indicator of Compromise library, a continuously updated intelligence engine that combines industry-sourced threats from CISA and Google Mandiant, original research from Druva's own ReconX Labs which is focused on ransomware behavior in the wild, and customer-defined IOCs which can be uploaded directly via API or CSV. This curated, extensible library ensures you're always scanning backup data against the latest known threats, plus the ones most relevant to your environment. Let's explore ThreatWatch, Druva's zero-touch, continuous threat monitoring engine for backup data. ThreatWatch scans new backups every 8 hours and automatically re-scans the past 30 days of backups when new Indicators of Compromise are added. You don't need to install or maintain any infrastructure to run this. It's fully managed, agentless, and built for speed and scale, all in the Druva cloud. Drill into any alert and find out which IOCs cause the trigger, how many resources are impacted, and which objects are malicious. Infected snapshots can be manually or automatically quarantined. This ensures you're not just alerted, you're already protected. ThreatWatch effectively closes the gap between detection and response, helping teams avoid reinfection loops and meet audit or disclosure timelines with confidence. Now let's look at ThreatHunt. This is your on-demand investigation tool, designed for when new threat intel surfaces like a new hash or file extension. You can perform retroactive scans across the last 30 days of backup data to see exactly where threats may be hiding, across cloud, data center, or endpoint workloads. Find a match? One click to quarantine those snapshots, and you'll get visibility into which resources are impacted, when the threat first appeared, and which recovery points are clean and safe to use. This brings powerful forensic-level threat hunting directly into backups, without needing a separate toolchain or infrastructure overhead. Together, ThreatWatch and ThreatHunt form a powerful threat detection and response loop for backup data. You're not just scanning for malware, you're building a verifiable chain of trust from threat detection to clean recovery. Dormant threats are surfaced and quarantined before they spread, clean restore points are identified and validated, and forensic audit trails help satisfy NIST, DORA, SEC, and GDPR requirements. Combined with Druva's 24-7 managed data detection and response, and our always-on anomalous data behavior monitoring, ThreatInsights completes a full-spectrum defense, helping you spot attacks early, isolate threats fast, and recover with precision. Because in today's threat landscape, it's not enough to just have backups. You need to know they're clean, prove they're safe, and recover with certainty. That's where Druva comes in.
