Druva, a leader in data security, has unveiled Dru MetaGraph, a secure, graph-powered foundation designed to deliver real-time, tenant-specific data intelligence. Alongside this launch, the company introduced two new AI-driven assistants—Insights Agent and Lifecycle Agent—expanding its DruAI portfolio. Together, these innovations aim to help enterprises gain immediate visibility, simplify complex decisions, and accelerate action across cybersecurity, compliance, and operational environments.
From Static Backups to Actionable Intelligence
Traditionally, organizations relied on static dashboards and isolated reports for backup intelligence. This approach often forced teams to manually connect insights from multiple systems or wait days, sometimes weeks, for analysts to provide data-driven answers. Dru MetaGraph transforms that model by making all backup metadata queryable, contextual, and directly usable by AI. The result: backup is no longer just a passive system of record—it becomes an active intelligence layer for driving resilience, compliance, and operational outcomes.

“Backup has always contained valuable untapped insights,” explained Jaspreet Singh, Druva’s CEO and co-founder. “With MetaGraph and our AI agents, we are democratizing access to this intelligence, enabling every team—from IT and security to compliance and legal—to query and act on backup data. This marks a major evolution in how enterprises harness backup for broader business impact.”
Making Metadata Work for the Enterprise
Dru MetaGraph consolidates backup metadata—including file attributes, permissions, and identity details—into a secure metadata layer enriched with graph intelligence. In most organizations, this metadata must be moved into external systems before analysis can begin, introducing delays, costs, and added complexity. Dru MetaGraph eliminates those barriers, keeping metadata usable within the Druva platform, safeguarded with encryption and tenant-level isolation.
This architecture gives AI agents a single, queryable foundation for delivering real-time insights. By leveraging the MetaGraph, DruAI Agents can map metadata relationships, uncover risks, streamline compliance processes, and optimize operations—all without moving or exposing sensitive data.
Expanding the AI Agent Ecosystem
The newly launched Insights Agent and Lifecycle Agent build on Druva’s growing agentic security framework.
Insights Agent: Designed to simplify decision-making, this agent converts complex datasets into clear, prioritized insights. Instead of scanning through endless reports or alerts, users receive concise summaries of risks, anomalies, and trends—plus recommended actions to address them proactively.

Lifecycle Agent: This agent allows teams to analyze metadata across the entire data lifecycle, from creation to long-term storage. Using natural language queries, teams can identify stale, non-compliant, or orphaned data and take corrective actions, such as enforcing retention policies at scale. For example, a user can simply ask: “Show me data not compliant with PCI retention requirements”, and the agent will query MetaGraph to provide contextual answers.
Beyond query results, the Lifecycle Agent enables the creation of dynamic dashboards and visualizations. Teams can pin responses as charts to their dashboards, refreshing them automatically over time. This creates a customized workspace for ongoing monitoring of compliance, risk exposure, or operational performance.
Faster, Smarter Decisions for Enterprises
By combining MetaGraph with DruAI agents, organizations gain a faster path from discovery to action. Security and IT teams can cut down manual reporting tasks, access intelligence instantly, and maintain the context needed to act decisively.
Chris Robinson, VP and Cybersecurity Director at Finance Factors, highlighted the impact:
“Having all our backup metadata in one secure place has completely transformed how quickly our team operates. The MetaGraph and AI agents give us immediate answers across risk, compliance, and operational workflows—without the manual effort.”
Industry analysts agree on the significance. Johnny Yu, Research Manager at IDC, commented:
“Enterprises have always known their backups contain rich metadata but struggled to utilize it effectively. By combining SaaS-native design, tenant-specific graphs, and AI agents, Druva is turning backup into a dynamic intelligence layer—shifting its role from an insurance policy to an active driver of resilience, compliance, and decision-making.”
