A recent release out of the company reports, “Druva, the leader in converged data protection, today announced a technological integration with the Palo Alto Networks® Next-Generation Firewall. The integration allows joint customers to use Druva inSync and Phoenix with Palo Alto Networks firewalls to enhance visibility, increase security and shape traffic for inSync and Phoenix in their networks. Palo Alto Networks App-ID™ technology gives customers unprecedented visibility into the applications on the network and provides the security needed for organizations to safely enable those applications. With a single dashboard for backup, availability and governance, Druva’s inSync and Phoenix solutions are not only designed for today’s distributed and mobile enterprises, but dramatically reduce the risk, effort and cost of protecting and managing structured and unstructured data.”

The release goes on, “The combination of Druva’s technologies with the Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewall can provide a new level of data security to strengthen joint customers’ critical infrastructures against targeted cyber attacks. Through the technology integration, Druva customers can manage inSync and Phoenix traffic by configuring their Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewalls using Druva-specific App-IDs. This enables Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewalls to uniquely identify Druva traffic when it traverses the network, allowing customers to get direct visibility and apply security policies over Druva applications (inSync and Phoenix) through their firewalls.”
