Hi Lucy,

The story in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant isn't who's on top, it's who's
moving. Druva closed real ground on the long-time leaders, and the reason
is in the architecture.

Every other name near the top still deploys infrastructure for you to
manage that attackers can reach.

Druva is fully managed, 100% SaaS across every workload, with your data
plane air-gapped and immutable by design, not implementation.

That's not a feature gap, it's an architectural differentiator, and it's
why analysts keep moving Druva toward the front while the legacy leaders
defend their spot.

Do you have 20 min to spare to see what a fully managed data resilience
platform looks like in action?
