There’s been a high rise in global data breaches for several years, and 2022 has been littered with information thefts. 

As per Analytics India magazine, the data breach cost averaged Rs.176 million in 2022, reaching an all-time high.

In July, Twitter suffered a data breach of 5.4 million accounts, and throughout the year so far, there have been several cases of data theft of various scales.

Our today’s guest, Jaspreet Singh, Founder & CEO Druva, has built and scaled the company since 2008 to provide a solution in this space.

Druva is trusted by over 4,000 global organizations. The company has such strong faith in these data-protection systems, that they even offer a Data Resiliency Guarantee up to $10 Mn against five key data risks.
