Introducing Data Protection for Azure virtual machines
MSPs can now protect virtual machines deployed in Azure Cloud for their customers. The data protection solution leverages Druva's air-gapped backup and restoration solution for end-to-end protection of Azure VMs over Druva cloud. You can now experience seamless and secure onboarding of Azure subscriptions to Druva. 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.

Benefits and uses 
Use the Security Command Center to assess the security posture of your customer’s backup environment and address potential risks. Proactively detect anomalies in backup data using entropy-based machine learning powered by global telemetry within an hour of backing up your customer data. Understand customer’s data access risks and events by monitoring who has access to your backup data (users, admins, APIs) and their activities. Additionally, monitor the locations from which the data is being accessed. Safeguard backup data from accidental and malicious deletions. Roll back deleted entities within a configurable rollback window. Monitor risks to data protection jobs and prevent data loss caused by disconnected agents or proxies from the Druva cloud. To learn more about SP&O, see Security Posture and Observability.
- ► Accelerated Ransomware Recovery (ARR)
Ensure the safety of your customer’s backups with a zero-trust architecture, immutable backups, and comprehensive security and observability across users, data, and activity.
Below are some of the key benefits and uses:Benefits and uses 
Gain visibility into unusual activity and choose the best snapshot for recovery with flexible recovery options. Perform malware and IOC scanning to identify infected files before recovery, ensuring clean data restoration. Leverage API-based integrations for an orchestrated response using security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) systems. Automate recovery with curated snapshots that compile the most recent clean versions of files into a single snapshot.

New Feature
The following new features are now available:
Google Workspace data protection
Expanding the footprint in SaaS Apps data protection, in addition to Microsoft 365, MSPs can now offer their customers Google Workspace data protection.
Google Workspace natively provides some backup capabilities but lacks comprehensive coverage putting business-critical data at risk for loss, corruption, and ransomware.
Druva provides a comprehensive and scalable solution that customers can utilize to fill critical data protection and recovery gaps. Additionally, you can use Sensitive Data Governance & Compliance along with the Legal Hold capabilities that allow administrators to identify compliance breaches related to end-user data in their organization.
Customer Action Required: MSPs who want to provide Google Workspace data protection service to their customers must contact their account representative.
Here is a glimpse:
Managed Service Providers (MSPs) can add Google Workspace to a customer account through the Managed Services Center (MSC) service plan page. For more information, see How to create a new service plan.
Migrate Google Workspace customers for centralized management
Only MSC supported products and features should be present in the tenant being migrated.
You can now migrate your Google Workspace customers managed externally as discrete tenants to the Managed Services Center (MSC). After the migration, you can use the MSC to manage all customers centrally and track the usage of quota and consumption units.
You can conduct the migration process through the new MSC Migration console, and you will receive email notifications at each stage with any necessary actions to take.
Customer Action Required: Contact your account representative to plan and initiate the migration of your customers.
For more information, see Migrate Google Workspace customers to MSC.
