New Feature

Strengthen AWS Workloads security with Quarantine Bay

Protect your organization from ransomware spread by leveraging Quarantine Bay to isolate infected EC2 and EBS recovery points.

Restores are only permissible from recovery points that have not been identified as under threat, and are deemed safe.

To access Quarantine Bay from your Druva Cloud Platform console, navigate to Global Navigation Bar > Cyber Resiliency > Ransomware Recovery > Quarantine Bay. For more information, see Quarantine EC2 and EBS Recovery Points.
