How do we action MDDR alerts?

Druva has implemented a proactive approach to handle MDDR alerts. Systems are configured to automatically generate cases upon receiving an MDDR alert. This automation helps to streamline the initial response process, reducing response time. The process includes:

  • Manual Validation: Once a case is created, the Druva Incident Response team triages alerts, investigates them, and verifies them to weed out noisy, false positive alerts.

  • Admin Verification: The alert is validated, and the Druva Incident Response team contacts all administrators associated with the account. The purpose is to verify whether the event was planned or an unexpected incident.

  • Critical Alert Actions: For snapshot deletion alerts, which are categorized as critical alerts, Druva implements staggered data deletion from the Druva cloud for deleted or expired snapshots.
