OVERVIEW

A global financial services company needed to modernize its cybersecurity strategy and data resilience solutions to withstand rising ransomware attacks within the industry. They recognized their fragmented approach to backup and recovery operations left data vulnerable to cyberattacks as well as incurring higher costs for its security and IT groups.

Joint Solution

As part of a holistic cyber resilience strategy, Cognizant and Commvault worked together to consolidate multiple point solutions and establish a single, unified platform for backup and recovery operations across a multi-country, hybrid environment. This eliminated potential gaps in data protection and issues of technical debt while providing end to end visibility to the company’s data environment for both security and IT teams to better defend against ransomware attacks.

Unifying data resilience on one platform also allowed the enterprise to modernize its security and data policies, automate and optimize the performance of storage and recovery operations, and ensure compliance across a range of regulatory requirements. In every case, leveraging powerful AI-driven capabilities to provide greater intelligence and accuracy. This includes leveraging real-time anomaly detection and threat analysis for earlier warning to cyberthreats, verifiable recovery, and cost-optimized cloud workload mobility.

In tandem with ensuring the availability and integrity of data, the enterprise had an objective to reduce costs and make them more predictable. To meet SLAs cost effectively, the solution takes advantage of on-premises and cloud infrastructure storage to orchestrate recovery.

Results

The implementation delivered measurable business impact across operations. The company now effectively manages 1,024 PB of data across 3,000+ clients, including Salesforce and Microsoft 365 workloads, with consolidated operations providing end-to-end visibility for both security and IT teams to better defend against ransomware attacks.
