Transforming Data Security with Generative AI: Introducing Druva’s Multi-Agent Copilot

Co-written by David Gildea and Tom Nijs from Druva

Generative AI is not just a buzzword; it represents a transformative shift in how businesses engage with their customers, particularly in complex IT operations. Druva, a leader in data security solutions, is positioned at the forefront of this revolution, partnering with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to develop an innovative generative AI-powered multi-agent copilot designed to enhance the customer experience in data security and cyber resilience.

The Power of Generative AI in IT Operations

By leveraging Amazon Bedrock and advanced large language models (LLMs), Druva’s cutting-edge solution provides an intuitive, conversational interface for accessing data management, security insights, and operational support across its product suite. This transformative technology is aimed at streamlining operations, boosting customer satisfaction, and elevating the overall value proposition of Druva’s data security and resilience solutions.

In this blog post, we will examine the technical architecture behind this AI-powered copilot, focusing on its capabilities in processing natural language queries, maintaining contextual awareness across complex workflows, and delivering secure, precise responses that enhance data protection operations.

Challenges and Opportunities

As organizations evolve past traditional query-based systems, the need for agentic systems becomes pronounced. Druva recognizes this urgency and strives to meet complex data management and security needs with greater speed, simplicity, and assurance.

Comprehensive data security involves monitoring vast amounts of data and metrics to identify potential cyber threats. As these threats evolve, staying ahead of data anomalies becomes essential. For example, consider a global financial services company managing over 500 servers across multiple regions; they often spend hours manually checking logs when backup fails. With an AI-powered copilot, they could simply ask, “Why did my backups fail last night?” and receive instant, actionable insights.

Reimagining user interactions through AI-powered workflows opens a significant opportunity for Druva to deliver a seamless customer experience that enhances satisfaction and loyalty.

Key Opportunities for Druva

1. Simplified User Experience: A natural language interface makes complex data protection tasks more accessible.

2. Intelligent Troubleshooting: The copilot uses AI to analyze data from multiple sources, providing personalized recommendations for resolution.

3. Streamlined Policy Management: Guidance through the creation and implementation of data protection policies minimizes human error and boosts compliance.

4. Proactive Support: Continuous monitoring enables the copilot to proactively identify issues, preventing failures and optimizing performance.

5. Scalable Operations: The AI-driven solution manages a high volume of inquiries and tasks, allowing the support team to focus on strategic initiatives.

Solution Overview

Druva’s multi-agent copilot utilizes a sophisticated architecture that combines Amazon Bedrock’s capabilities with LLMs to create an intelligent user experience. At the system’s core is the supervisor agent, coordinating conversation flows and task delegation among specialized sub-agents.

How It Works

• User Interaction: Users submit natural language queries related to data protection and troubleshooting.
• Data Retrieval: The data agent interacts with APIs to fetch the latest data relevant to ongoing queries.
• Guidance: The help agent offers best practices and troubleshooting tips from an extensive knowledge base.
• Action Execution: The action agent initiates critical actions like backup jobs based on user instructions.

A dynamic API selection process ensures that the most suitable APIs and parameters are chosen, enhancing the copilot’s overall accuracy and efficiency.

Evaluation Process

Assessing the performance of Druva’s multi-agent copilot involves rigorous testing of its components. Evaluation methodologies include:

• Unit Testing: Isolated tests for individual components ensure functionality and performance.
• Integration Testing: Verifying seamless communication between different components maintains data flow integrity.
• System Testing: End-to-end tests simulate real-world scenarios to assess overall user experience.

Evaluation Results

The accuracy of API selection is crucial; incorrect selections can lead to cascading errors. By testing various models, findings reveal that while smaller models excelled in selecting the right API, they struggled with parameter parsing. The optimal balance was achieved with Nova Pro, which provided an impressive average response time of just over one second.

Conclusion

Druva’s generative AI-powered multi-agent copilot exemplifies the revolutionary potential of AI in creating intelligent, conversational interfaces. This innovation shifts data protection from manual investigations to instantaneous, AI-driven insights, allowing organizations to redefine their expectations in the security space.

As we look ahead, the adaptability of this method across various domains stands promising. Organizations from any industry can benefit from AI-powered copilots, empowering their stakeholders to make informed decisions quickly and efficiently.
