Ransomware attacks are increasingly targeting backups, evading detection, and delaying recovery, with 25% of 2022 data breaches involving ransomware, per Verizon’s report. ReconX Labs tackles these challenges by analyzing attacker behavior and integrating intelligence into Druva’s platform. “Druva ReconX Labs was born from our deep experience helping customers respond to ransomware attacks,” said Shankar Subramaniam, VP & GM of Security Products at Druva. “This isn’t theory, it’s what we’ve seen work in real incidents.”
ReconX Labs operates globally, focusing on:
Investigating ransomware campaigns and attacker behavior.
Developing adversary profiles and attack signatures.
Generating actionable indicators of compromise (IOCs).
Validating clean recovery workflows via retrospective analysis.
Research is conducted in encrypted, isolated environments within the Druva Data Security Cloud, with findings shared to empower the broader security community.
Druva’s new Ransomware Recovery Hub fosters community-driven resilience by offering:
Recovery playbooks based on real-world incidents.
Readiness checklists and forensic investigation templates.
Continuously updated guidance on evolving threat tactics.
This hub enables IT and security teams to share best practices, enhancing post-breach response and recovery.
Druva is rolling out features to integrate ReconX Labs’ intelligence:
Agentless Data Anomaly Detection: Zero-touch, cloud-based protection for virtual workloads.
Managed Data Detection and Response (MDDR) with Safe Mode: 24/7 AI-powered threat monitoring with instant containment.
Cyber Resilience Scorecard: Guided onboarding to ensure proper configuration and real-time readiness scoring.
Recovery Intelligence: Identifies ideal restore points based on anomalous activity and IOCs.
These capabilities, available natively through Druva’s cloud platform, reduce response times and enhance resilience.
Druva is the leading provider of data security solutions, empowering nearly 7,500 customers, including 75 Fortune 500 companies, to secure and recover data.
