Why it matters

Capability Benefits

Enable the ability to identify which copy is clean before you restore, without sifting through multiple alerts. 


One verdict, not multiple alerts

Multiple signals correlate into a single answer per backup. 


Enable the ability to identify which copy is clean before you restore

Every restore point carries a risk score and a confidence level, so you choose with validated information.


Reports an auditor can read

Each verdict lists its contributing signals and exports as a report to support compliance and incident response. 


Baselines per asset, not global thresholds

Anomalies are measured against each asset’s own history, which helps reduce false alarms on busy workloads


Nothing to deploy on production

Detection runs inside the backup pipeline, agentless, and is designed to minimize impact on production systems. 


Alerts where you already look

Email and alerts-API notifications, with every reported event on the asset’s Threats view and metrics. 

Analyst recognition

Gartner® Magic Quadrant™

Commvault named a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Backup and Data Protection Platforms for the 15th consecutive time and ranked #1 in 5 of 6 Use Cases in the Critical Capabilities.

How it works

Capability Features

Behavioral baselines

Each asset builds its own history; every backup is measured against it, not a generic rule.

Multi-signal correlation

Looks for mass encryption, encrypted replacements, destructive deletion and ransom notes, together.

Explainable verdict reports

What happened, the score, recommended actions and detection details, downloadable per backup.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if there may be threats in a backup?

Every backup gets a verdict before you restore. Threat detection runs inside the backup pipeline, compares each backup against that asset’s own history, and correlates multiple signals before deciding, which minimizes the chance of anomalies triggering a false alarm. Each backup carries a risk score, a confidence level and a downloadable report showing which restore points appear clean.

Which workloads does threat detection cover?

Threat detection is available today for Amazon EBS volumes and EC2 instances, with Amazon S3 in early access. Coverage extends to Amazon S3 and Google Cloud Storage in December 2026, with further workloads expected to follow.

Does it scan my production systems?

No. Detection runs inside the backup pipeline on the data already being protected. There is nothing to install on workloads and it is designed to minimize impact on production performance; every backup cycle becomes a detection opportunity.

What happens when a backup scores high risk?

A Possible Threat Detected alert is raised, the event appears on the asset’s Threats view with a downloadable verdict summary report, and later restores from that point show a warning. The warning is informational and does not block the restore; you choose a clean point to restore from.

How is this different from the anomaly alerts other tools raise?

Most tools fire on single thresholds and leave the correlation to an analyst, which is how legitimate migrations can become false alarms. Threat detection compares each asset to its own history, requires several signals to agree, and returns one verdict per backup rather than a stream of alerts.
