Introducing protection of Azure virtual machines
With the new Azure data protection offering, experience seamless and secure onboarding of Azure subscriptions to Druva. Azure Workloads leverages Druva's airgap backup and restoration solution for end-to-end protection of Azure VMs and managed disks over Druva storage.
The offering provides an agentless, cloud-native SaaS solution that ensures simple, secure, and air-gapped backups for Azure VMs and reduces storage costs significantly. Druva protects Azure VM data from ransomware by creating an encrypted backup copy of your data in Druva's Cloud, that is inaccessible to attackers.

- Reduce complexity with a seamless and secure onboarding of new Azure subscriptions and discovery of Azure VMs at scale.
- True cloud-native agentless platform with end-to-end protection and no installation or agent dependencies.
