Druva, a leader in cloud-native data security, has launched Threat Watch. This automated, zero-touch solution is made for proactive scanning of backup data. Threat Watch is part of the Druva Data Security Cloud. It continuously scans backup snapshots. This helps find dormant threats and IOCs. As a result, IT and security teams can speed up investigations. They can also confirm recovery readiness and confidently identify clean restore points.
Why Continuous Monitoring is Essential
Cyber threats are getting more advanced. New security methods now consider the chance of attacks getting past perimeter and endpoint defenses. In this new reality, organizations must quickly assess the data impact of an attack. This helps them respond effectively and recover from cyber incidents. Since backups are a reflection of the production environment, they offer a credible and objective source of information for determining the extent of compromise and which recovery points are clean.
Threat Watch provides ongoing, peace-time monitoring of backup data and can be used in conjunction with threat hunting and forensic analysis, which are often more intense during a live security incident. With the increasing need for tighter reporting requirements due to regulations such as DORA and the new SEC disclosure requirements, Threat Watch enables faster risk assessment, verification of data integrity, and proof of readiness during an audit or investigation.

“Cyber resilience isn’t just about having a copy of your data, it’s about the certainty that you can recover without reinfecting your environment,” said Yogesh Badwe, Chief Security Officer at Druva. “Threat Watch brings a peace-time proactive monitor to what has historically been a war-time manual forensic process. With this new capability, we are giving customers the forensic evidence they need to meet strict regulatory windows and have clearer proof of what is safe to restore when the business is under pressure.”
Proactive Security with Zero Infrastructure
Built on Druva’s cloud-native architecture, Threat Watch scans backup data directly within the Druva Data Security Cloud, outside of production environments and without requiring additional hardware, agents, or dedicated security infrastructure. This in-place scanning model eliminates the delays and complexity associated with copying data into separate security tools and enables Druva to deliver the industry’s only Data Movement Latency SLA. As a result, organizations gain near real-time detection and visibility without affecting production workloads or increasing infrastructure and operational costs.
“Reporting timelines are getting tighter, and that puts pressure on teams to confirm what was impacted and what is safe to restore,” said Yong Jie Tan, IT Infrastructure Manager, at Woh Hup. “Threat Watch gives us ongoing visibility into backup health and the evidence we need to support both recovery decisions and audit requirements. It helps reduce uncertainty during an incident and strengthens our overall resilience posture.”
