[Explore the tour](/gc/threat-hunting-recovery) --- ## Frequently Asked Questions What is Threat Scan in Commvault? Threat Scan is Commvault’s threat detection and clean recovery capability for cyber recovery. It helps teams find threats faster across protected data, validate cleaner recovery points, and recover clean data with less rollback and lower reinfection risk. How does Threat Scan help with ransomware recovery? Threat Scan supports ransomware recovery by scanning protected data during backup, on demand, and on restore to help identify suspicious activity, ransomware indicators, and encryption behavior. That security context helps teams choose cleaner data to recover. What detection methods does Threat Scan use? Threat Scan uses layered detection methods including Google Threat Intelligence, hash-based threat hunting, malware signatures, heuristic analysis, AI-enabled encryption detection, YARA analysis, and other security integrations to help uncover both known and emerging threats in protected data. Can Threat Scan help reduce data rollback? Yes. Threat Scan includes Cleanpoint Identification and AI-assisted Synthetic Recovery to help preserve newer clean file versions across backups. That approach helps teams recover more good data instead of rolling back to one older restore point. How does Threat Scan fit into cyber recovery? Threat Scan supports cyber recovery by helping security and IT teams identify trusted data before production restoration. As part of Commvault’s CyberRecover solution, it adds threat detection, clean recovery point validation, and security workflows and integrations that help improve recovery readiness and confidence. --- See it live ## Get a demo See how Threat Scan helps find threats faster and recover clean data.
