In today’s digital age, data protection has become a critical aspect of any organization’s security strategy. With the increasing number of cyber-attacks and sophisticated threats, it’s essential to have a comprehensive solution that can detect, prevent, and recover from such incidents. Commvault, an enterprise data protection leader, has recently announced several new security capabilities across its entire portfolio, signaling the next phase in its evolution to help businesses secure, defend, and recover their data against evolving cyber threats.

Commvault has been at the forefront of data protection for over two decades, and with this latest release, they have taken a significant step forward in bridging the gap between IT and security. The new features and capabilities introduced by Commvault are designed to provide early warning technologies that help secure against threats before they happen, defend enterprise data if the environment is breached, and ensure recoverability so customers and their data remain resilient in the face of evolving cyber threats.

One of the most significant announcements by Commvault is the introduction of Commvault Cloud Command, which is available at no cost as part of the platform. This single platform with a single code base and single UI provides universal management for all Commvault offerings in an integrated dashboard that provides full telemetry and observability into key Commvault software indicators. This feature delivers health-at-a-glance, risk levels, security, and recovery indicators, and beyond for Commvault investments from a single source.

Another notable feature is Commvault Risk Analysis, which is powered by machine learning (ML). This feature quarantines and deletes sensitive data, giving organizations the ability to discover, analyze, and secure sensitive data to prevent cyber exposure and potential data exfiltration. Additionally, Commvault Threat Scan inspects backup content to identify encrypted, corrupted, or suspicious datasets, allowing businesses to locate and quarantine malware and threats from backup content, ensure clean recoveries, and prevent reinfection.

Commvault Auto Recovery (formerly known as Disaster Recovery) is another critical feature that provides a cyber analysis tool that tests recovery readiness at scale and provides forensic analysis to determine validated and sanitized points of recovery and prevent future incidents. This feature allows organizations to easily and securely recover workloads at scale from cyber-attacks with minimal data loss and downtime.

Furthermore, Commvault has collaborated with CyberArk and Microsoft to integrate its technology with their respective, industry-leading security platforms. This expansion of its security ecosystem enables organizations to enhance their security posture through automated incident response, better collaboration, and deeper insights into the threat landscape.

In conclusion, Commvault’s latest release is a game-changer for all hybrid and multi-Cloud needs. With enhanced data security and protection, organizations can now mitigate against ransomware and other sophisticated threats. The integration with CyberArk and Microsoft further solidifies Commvault’s position as a leader in the data protection industry. As an administrator of CyberArk, I am excited to see the new integration between Commvault and CyberArk, taking the protection of my most important data (credentials) and securing it using the latest best practices.
