DHS selects Druva inSync as data protection solution

Druva has announced that its Druva inSync has been selected as the data protection solution on the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) Approved Products List (APL).

The solution is claimed to be the first data protection solution on the list.

The CDM programme provides DHS and other federal agencies with the capability to detect cybersecurity risks on an ongoing basis and prioritise them according to the potential impacts.

Accordingly, the cybersecurity personnel can resolve the most significant problems first.

The CDM programme was established by US Congress to ensure adequate, risk-based and cost-effective cybersecurity as well as effectively allocate cybersecurity resources.

Druva Federal vice-president Darron Makrokanis said: “Druva provides government agencies, whether federal, state or local, peace of mind that their critical data is being protected.

“We’re proud to have achieved this milestone that demonstrates the trust that the government has placed in Druva, and, especially as we are the first and only data protection solution to be so chosen.”

Druva inSync offers a platform to protect, preserve and discover end-user data across endpoints and cloud applications.

It comes with a comprehensive suite of management capabilities for IT which includes backup and restore; ransomware recovery; eDiscovery enablement; OS migration; and compliance monitoring, auditing and remediation.

It also improves productivity for the end-user through self-restore capabilities and by providing accessibility from any place.
