DRUVA INTRODUCES THE INDUSTRY'S FIRST AND ONLY CURATED RECOVERY TECHNOLOGY FOR ACCELERATED RANSOMWARE RECOVERY

Bounce Back from Ransomware Attacks with Automated Recovery of Clean, Complete Data Sets, Eliminating Time Intensive Recovery Efforts

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept 22 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Druva Inc., the leader in Cloud Data Protection and Management, today introduced the industry’s first and only curated recovery technology, leveraging intelligent automation, for accelerated ransomware recovery. Adding to Druva’s ground-breaking Accelerated Ransomware Recovery module, Druva Curated Recovery mitigates the impact of a ransomware attack, building an uncorrupted, unencrypted and malware-free recovery point to ensure a successful recovery before one is ever initiated. Combining this comprehensive ransomware recovery module with Druva’s built-in security framework, businesses can now better protect critical data and recover faster with confidence.

Ransomware is one of the most popular methods used by hackers and malicious actors, and the average ransomware payment has surpassed $240,000 according to a new survey from IDC¹. Its lucrative nature has incentivized bad actors to expand the scope of their attacks, including the introduction of new variants designed specifically to encrypt or delete backup data, destroying organizations’ last line of defense and further incentivizing payment.

Traditional recovery from such an attack requires identifying a single point in time prior to the infection. However, because ransomware often enters a system months before it is detected, administrators are often forced to manually search for the most recent, unaffected versions of individual files or data sets. Now, by reviewing a comprehensive set of recovery points, Druva Curated Recovery can help identify the latest clean version of each file through recent changes, replacing a weeks-long, resource-intensive process with a radically simplified recovery workflow. Using Druva’s intelligent automation platform, IT teams can easily find the most recent clean version of all their data and return operations to normal faster.

“Being the victim of a ransomware attack doesn’t need to be a choice between paying an exorbitant ransom or halting operations while IT teams go through an intensive, manual recovery process,” said Jaspreet Singh, founder and CEO, Druva. “There’s no compelling reason to be held hostage by ineffective data protection technology. With our newest capabilities, every customer can gain the peace of mind of restoring their data with confidence.”

In addition to Druva’s Accelerated Ransomware Recovery, the Druva Cloud Platform offers a built-in security framework and multi-layer approach which is designed to be resilient against ransomware. The platform’s zero trust architecture ensures only customers have access to their data, while features such as excess deletion prevention stops ransomware from permanently deleting backups.

Learn more about Druva Curated Recovery at the Druva Cyber Resilience Virtual Summit on Oct. 13, where attendees will have the opportunity to hear from thought leaders and peers about how organizations are fighting back against increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks. Attendees will leave with actionable information on emerging best practices that span data protection and recovery and how to integrate modern security and backup technologies.

From Our Customers and Partners on the Front Lines of Protecting Organizational Data

Technologent is the premier Global Edge-to-Edge™ IT Services company that delivers agile solutions for accelerating digital transformation.

“The threat of ransomware is not something we, or our customers can afford to ignore, thus we continue to evaluate technologies to ensure we have the best solutions to offer our clients,” said Juan Gomez, Director of Data Management and Protection at Technologent. “Data protection and Security are converging, and in our evaluations, Druva’s architecture clearly sets it apart, and its ransomware recovery capabilities are outstanding. The Druva Curated Recovery is innovative, and we are eager to help our clients take advantage of this new capability.”

CDL Electric, founded in 1964, operates in the trades, railroad, and manufacturing sectors serving over 50,000 customers in over 40 states.

“Many years ago, we fell victim to a ransomware attack, which disrupted our operations, but more importantly served as a pivotal moment in the rethinking of our security and operations,” said Hugo Flores, Director, Information Technology & Special Projects, CDL Electric. “In that first instance, without any insights, we restored the data and also brought back the ransomware, forcing us to restart the whole process. At our current size, such an event would have a catastrophic impact on our organization. With technologies like Druva, with its ability to rapidly recover, we are confident we can minimize such disruptions and get back to business quickly.”

KAVA SWAP LISTS ON ASCENDEX

Singapore, Sept 1 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AscendEX, a global digital asset trading platform with a comprehensive product suite, is thrilled to announce the listing of the Kava Swap token (SWP) under the pair USDT/SWP on September 1st at 1 p.m. UTC.

Kava is focused on democratizing financial services and making them openly accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world.  Kava Chain is a decentralized, permissionless, censorship-resistant blockchain built with the Cosmos SDK. This means it operates much like other Cosmos ecosystem blockchains, and is designed to be interoperable with other chains. 

Kava.io is the first cross-chain Decentralized Finance (DeFi) hub providing applications and services to the world's largest cryptocurrencies. Kava’s platform operates as a decentralized bank for digital assets connecting users with products like stablecoins, loans, and interest-bearing accounts so that they can do more and earn more with their digital assets. For example, sers can deposit their digital assets and use them as collateral to borrow Kava’s crypto-backed stablecoin, USDX. The native swap token (SWP), launching Monday Aug. 30, allows users to swap and engage with multiple assets across different chains.

Kava Swap is a cross-chain liquidity hub for all DeFi apps and financial services. Its purpose is to enable the aggregation of capital where it can then be deployed seamlessly across different blockchain ecosystems, DeFi apps, and financial services. At its core, Kava Swap is a cross-chain Autonomous Market Making (AMM) Protocol that leverages the Kava platform’s DeFi infrastructure, cross-chain bridges, and security. Kava Swap delivers users a seamless way to swap between assets of different blockchains and deploy their capital into market-making pools where they can earn handsome returns.

The Kava Protocol is the set of rules and behaviors built into the Kava Chain that enables advanced DeFi functionality like permissionless borrowing and lending. Like most Cosmos ecosystem blockchains, the automated transaction behaviors known as “Smart Contracts” are hardcoded into the protocol. They are referred to as “modules” in the Cosmos Ecosystem. The Kava App uses a special kind of module called a CDP. Hard Protocol is an application that runs on Kava Chain. It does not have its own blockchain. It builds upon the Kava Protocol and adds new functionality, expanding the Kava Ecosystem to include an autonomous money market protocol. 

The HARD token is a unique token on the Kava Chain. It is given as a reward for supplying and borrowing on the Hard app. KAVA, the native token of the KAVA protocol, is used as a Proof of Stake (POS) staking asset, which ensures the finality and safety of loans on the protocol and also acts as the ‘lender of last resort’ in certain situations. The Kava Chain is secured by its native token KAVA and it is used across the full chain as a transport and a store of value. It is given as a reward for minting USDX on the Kava app. USDX is a stable coin loosely pegged to the US Dollar. It is minted when a Kava CDP is opened. KAVA, SWP, and HARD are all governance tokens, meaning holders can vote on the rules and proposed new features of the protocols.
