Exclusive Networks Partners with Druva to Accelerate SaaS-Based Data Protection Across India

Bengaluru, October 14: Exclusive Networks, the global cybersecurity specialist, has announced a pan-India partnership with Druva, a leading provider of data security solutions, to strengthen modern, cloud-native data protection capabilities across Indian enterprises. The collaboration adds the Druva Data Security Cloud Platform to Exclusive Networks’ cybersecurity portfolio, reinforcing its mission to build a trusted digital ecosystem for businesses navigating complex data security challenges.

With data breaches becoming increasingly costly — averaging USD 4.4 million globally — and India’s information security spending projected to rise 16.4% to USD 3.3 billion in 2025, organizations are seeking robust, scalable, and cost-efficient data protection solutions. The surge in ransomware incidents, data sprawl from GenAI use, and evolving regulatory compliance are further accelerating this demand.

Through this partnership, channel partners can offer a SaaS-first, cloud-native data protection platform that is simple to deploy, scalable, and secure. The solution addresses the “data dilemma” faced by organizations — unlocking data’s business value while ensuring resilience against cyber threats.

Veeranna Ganigere, Regional General Manager – India & SAARC, Exclusive Networks, said, “Data is now spread across fragmented cloud, SaaS, and on-premises environments. Our mission is to establish a truly trusted digital world with data security at its core. With Druva’s advanced data security solutions, our channel partners can help customers achieve greater resilience and confidence in managing critical information.”

Druva, recognized as a Leader in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Enterprise Backup and Recovery Software, brings strong value to partners with its 100% SaaS platform that can be deployed in minutes without hardware, backed by a USD 10 million Data Resiliency Guarantee and recurring revenue opportunities.

James Worrall, Vice President, International Channel and MSP at Druva, said, “Exclusive Networks’ expertise and disruptive approach make them the ideal partner to challenge traditional data protection methods and accelerate our growth across India. Together, we aim to redefine how customers secure and manage data in the cloud era.”

The partnership underscores both companies’ focus on helping Indian enterprises adopt modern, cloud-based data resilience strategies amid a fast-evolving threat landscape. With Exclusive Networks’ ‘local sale, global scale’ model and Druva’s AI-driven SaaS data protection platform, the collaboration aims to drive innovation, simplify compliance, and safeguard business continuity in an increasingly digital India.
