2022 was a BIG year for Cyber Security.  According to Cyber Security Hub, more than 4100 data breaches were publicly exposed with a number of high-profile attacks including Twitter, Optus and WhatsApp.

In today’s world, bad actors are well organized, informed and also persistent with the volume and speed of attacks increasing.  Their motives are changing, with data leakage, exfiltration, theft and restructure being top objectives causing data damage to now be the top concern of IT decision makers.

So what does 2023 hold? We’ve gathered thoughts from experts across Commvault to answer that very question. 

Industry-Wide Shift to Proactive, Early Threat Prevention 
– Matt Tyrer

In short, businesses will need and begin to implement proactive solutions to constantly monitor their environment to catch threats and enable early warning/response.  Bad guys are getting in, and we aren’t knowing about it early enough. 

From a cyber security and threat defence perspective, the industry today could be essentially divided in two approaches: 

  1. Preventative Measures: These vendors are your perimeter defence vendors like firewalls, anti-virus, SIEM/SOAR tools, along with other data loss prevention (DLP) and intrusion detection/prevention solutions. Even the newer identity access management (IAM) security vendors, who are adding key security functionality to control who can see what in your environment, can be grouped in here. They are all the locks on your doors and windows actively working to keep the bad guys out of the house so that they can’t even start the fire. 
  2. Reactive Measures: These tend to be the storage and most conventional backup vendors who are focused on protecting the data itself. Aiming to ensure it is available for recovery via table stakes features like immutability and anomaly detection (threat hunting) in the backups. These solutions are the sprinkler system and fire alarm – by the time they are triggered your house is already on fire and your only response is triage and disaster recovery. 

Don’t get me wrong, both of these are critical parts of a layered security posture and strategy but there is a gap which where early warning lives.  It’s the abilities to better respond when a breach occurs, while not waiting for data damage to be done before recovery is kickstarted.

This is why my prediction is an industry wide shift to more PROACTIVE warning systems, helping companies fill gaps between their preventive and reactionary toolsets.    

Thankfully, Commvault is ahead of this game with our ThreatWise cyber deception technology. Get started NOW on proactively defending your data. 

Rise in Managed Services Provider Spending
– Donna Namorato

The Institute of International Finance is predicting a global economic growth rate of just 1.2% in 2023, a level on par with 2009 when the world was only beginning its emergence from the from the financial crisis.1 Even with economic uncertainty looming, expect that cybersecurity spending will continue to rise but don’t be surprised if there is a decline in product and service spending.

Und obwohl die Ausgaben für Cybersicherheit steigen, gaben laut einer CIO-Umfrage von Jefferies 53 % an, dass sie die ITSM-Ausgaben kürzen würden. Sollte dies geschehen, würde ich einen Anstieg der Ausgaben für Managed Service Provider (MSP) erwarten. MSPs sind auf bestimmte IT-Segmente spezialisiert und können fundiertes IT-Fachwissen bieten, da sie Fachkräfte gewinnen und binden können – was Unternehmen hingegen schwerfällt.

To remain vigilant against ransomware and data security, organizations must adopt a ransomware strategy and develop an Plans zur Reaktion auf Vorfälle against bad actors. Incorporating a multilayered security framework is also vital to safeguard your data and reduce cybersecurity risk. And, when you need help, die „Commvault Ransomware Readiness Solutions“ is available to assist you.

Industry and Platform Consolidation
– Brian Brockway, Global Chief Technology Officer


Derzeit ist die Sicherheitslandschaft sehr unübersichtlich. Es gibt unzählige Tools auf dem Markt, und viele Unternehmen setzen mehrere Lösungen ein, um einen umfassenden Schutz zu gewährleisten. Wir beobachten jedoch, dass in der Branche eine Konsolidierung einsetzt, die sich bis ins Jahr 2023 fortsetzen dürfte. Alle Komponenten müssen zusammenwirken, um maximale Effizienz zu erzielen und die besten Schutzchancen zu bieten. Die Zusammenführung aller Komponenten auf einer einzigen Plattform wird unerlässlich sein, um sicherzustellen, dass Sie das Beste aus Ihren Lösungen herausholen, und eine zentrale Übersicht ist der Schlüssel zu deren Verwaltung. Insbesondere angesichts weiter steigender Kosten müssen Unternehmen sicherstellen, dass sie jeden Cent sinnvoll ausgeben und aus jeder Anschaffung den optimalen Nutzen ziehen.

Doch angesichts der schieren Menge an Bedrohungen, denen Unternehmen ausgesetzt sind, wächst auch das Bewusstsein, dass nicht alles verhindert werden kann – ganz gleich, wie gut Ihre Lösungen sind oder wie effektiv Sie sie verwalten. Unternehmen sollten ihren Fokus auf Resilienz richten. Es ist mittlerweile fast unvermeidlich, dass Unternehmen irgendwann angegriffen werden, aber was wirklich zählt, ist, wie schnell Sie sich davon erholen können. Es sollten regelmäßige Backups durchgeführt werden, damit selbst im schlimmsten Fall Ausfallzeiten auf ein Minimum beschränkt bleiben und der normale Geschäftsbetrieb so schnell wie möglich und mit nur geringen bleibenden Schäden wiederhergestellt werden kann.

“Inside-out” CyberSecurity, Tiger Teams and Managed Services
– Zack Brigman, Sr Product Marketing Manager

Cyberbedrohungen erreichen weiterhin Rekordhöhen, sowohl hinsichtlich der Anzahl erfolgreicher Angriffe als auch hinsichtlich der durch diese Angriffe verursachten Schäden. Mit Blick auf das Jahr 2023 gehen Experten davon aus, dass sich diese Trends weiterhin in die falsche Richtung entwickeln werden, da Angreifer neue, ausgeklügelte Taktiken anwenden, Netzwerke von Auftragshackern weiter wachsen und sich die Qualifikationslücke im Sicherheits- und IT-Bereich vergrößert. Und obwohl diese negativen Entwicklungen große Herausforderungen mit sich bringen, werden Unternehmen im kommenden Jahr einen großen Schritt nach vorne machen, um ihre Cybersicherheitsmaßnahmen besser zu planen, in diese zu investieren und weiterzuentwickeln.

Prioritization

Breaches happen. But not all assets, systems, and data are created equal. Given that a small percentage of information assets carry the majority of business risk, progressive companies will begin employing an “inside-out” cybersecurity strategy. One that starts with hardening and securing their most critical assets first – then working toward the perimeter. While perimeter defences and preventing intrusion will (and should) remain a paramount focus, this risk-aligned approach enables the prioritization of defence strategies to mitigate risk for high-value assets and functions. This reshapes conventional “outside-in” approaches, making security investments more accessible and operational.

Tiger Teams

To better manage emerging threats and respond to risk, we will continue to see a rise in fusion teams (thanks Gartner for the term!) – merging IT, security, and operational stakeholders together to drive change. These blended teams help create new synergies by pairing complementary (but often siloed) groups and capacities to achieve common goals. These cross-functional teams increase visibility across the organization, discover and eliminate blind spots, and optimize investments in existing and new tools. While many mature organizations already leverage fusion teams today, 2023 will see a more widespread adoption of these functions to better identify risks, implement cyber response strategies, and manage threats.

Managed Services

As threats mount, businesses will continue to adopt managed service (MSP) and managed security service (MSSP) offerings to augment existing tools and tactics. This is particularly true of lean IT departments and those looking to enhance their security operations centers. Leveraging these managed providers will enable organizations to close the cyber security skills gap, tap into a consortium of specialized solutions, and scale their cyber practice without managing additional headcount or disparate solutions. 

Thanks to all our contributors! Stay tuned to see if their predictions come true by following Commvault and our DPaaS portfolio Metallic on Social Media.

The trend toward remote employment, coupled with inconsistencies in data security, access, and control across multiple environments, is leading to an increased risk of data breaches, data leakage, and unauthorized data access. This, combined with constantly evolving data types and distributed workloads, leads to multigenerational data sprawl that further compounds business risks. One in three organizations report having been successfully hit more than once by a ransomware attack, making ransomware both a significant and recurring source of business disruption.1

A Cybersecurity Framework

Organizations are adopting multilayered security frameworks to deal with these vulnerabilities – an approach that offers the best blueprint for protecting against and recovering from ransomware attacks. Commvault’s multilayered security framework is built on zero trust principles and follows the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Frameworkstandards and best practices to address these five areas: Identify, Protect, Monitor, Respond, and Recover. Attention to these pillars can aid your organization in developing a comprehensive risk management strategy.

Good tidings for 2023! The new year affords us the opportunity for a fresh start and perspective. It is also a time to reflect on changes you need and want to make so you don’t repeat them in 2023.

Recipes for Data Protection Success

Um 2023 zu einem erfolgreichen Jahr zu machen, befolgen Sie dieses Vier-Schritte-Rezept, um die hohen Kosten für den Datenschutz zu vermeiden.

  • Prep Time: ContactCommvault todayto get started
  • Bake Time: Throughout 2023
  • Makes: Efficient data protection across your infrastructure

Ingredients

  • 1 Tasse zentralisierte Verwaltung
  • 2 Esslöffel – umfassendster Schutz vor Arbeitsüberlastung
  • 3 Tassen Automatisierung

Directions

1. Preheat infrastructure to a 360-degree view of your data

Angesichts der sich ständig weiterentwickelnden IT-Landschaft benötigen Sie eine Möglichkeit, Ihre Daten in ihrer Gesamtheit zu überblicken. Oft versuchen Unternehmen, die Komplexität einer vielfältigen IT-Umgebung mit zahlreichen Backup-Tools zu bewältigen, was die Komplexität jedoch noch erhöht und die Kosten in die Höhe treibt. Zudem beeinträchtigt die Verwaltung mehrerer Schnittstellen die Transparenz der Daten, was zu einer geringeren Produktivität und höheren Risiken führt. Die Nutzung einer einzigen, einheitlichen Schnittstelle zur Steuerung Ihrer gesamten Datenumgebung reduziert die Komplexität und vereinfacht den täglichen Betrieb, sodass Ihre Mitarbeiter sich auf wertschöpfendere, strategisch wichtigere Aktivitäten konzentrieren können.

Commvault helps streamline the management of all your workloads – physical, virtual, on-premises, cloud, and even across multiple clouds – through a single unified interface, the Commvault Command Center™. The centralized management console is a highly customizable web-based user interface for managing all your data protection and disaster recovery initiatives – streamlining your daily data management tasks and saving you precious time.

2. Get out a mixing bowl large enough to fit all your workloads

Protecting your organization’s data is like baking a cake—leave out an ingredient, and the entire recipe can be ruined. But securing today’s diverse technology stack across modern SaaS applications and Kubernetes, and workloads from prior generations doesn’t have to be stressful.

Halten Sie mit einem sich ständig weiterentwickelnden Tech-Stack Schritt und stellen Sie mit Commvault sicher, dass keine Workload unberücksichtigt bleibt. Wir bieten den umfassendsten Schutz für Workloads – von On-Premise-Umgebungen über die Cloud bis hin zu SaaS-Anwendungen – und unterstützen die native Cloud-Integration, wodurch sich die Komplexität minimieren lässt. Mit Commvault können Kunden sicher sein, dass ihre Daten und Anwendungen – ob alt oder neu – geschützt sind, während sich ihre Umgebungen verändern und weiterentwickeln.

Read more about CommvaultUnterstützte Technologien.

3. Measure and add automation

For baking, precise measurements are essential to a successful end product. The same is true for data protection – automation can ensure the accuracy of your processes and eliminate human error from entering the equation. Plus, it reduces the time it takes to complete complex data management tasks, adding more time back on your IT team’s calendar.

Die Commvault-Software nutzt integrierte Automatisierung, Orchestrierung und richtlinienbasiertes Management, um Ihre IT-Produktivität insgesamt zu steigern. Durch automatisches Tiering, automatisierte Energieverwaltungssysteme, intelligente Mustererkennung und zahlreiche weitere Funktionen können Sie die Produktivität maximieren und die gesamten IT-Kosten minimieren.

4. Bake time: The duration of 2023

The key to a successful recipe, and successful data protection is consistency. With Commvault’s quick prep time, you can easily digest the three ingredients needed to make efficient and cost-effective data protection across your infrastructure.

Nutritional Facts:

Das Tüpfelchen auf dem i ist das Datenmanagement von Commvault. Wir bieten eine umfassende Lösung, die alle Aspekte der Datensicherheit abdeckt – Tiefe, Breite, Umfang und Reichweite des Datenmanagements –, um die Betriebskosten zu senken und gleichzeitig die SLAs für die Datensicherheit einzuhalten.

Die AWS re:Invent 2022 ist gerade zu Ende gegangen, und ich bin endlich wieder in Australien angekommen, wo uns – hoffentlich – ein schneefreier, heißer Weihnachtstag erwartet.

On the long flight(s) home I was able to reflect on the 119 new services and features that were announced as part of AWS re: Invent 2022 from Nov 28 – Dec 2nd, and the myriad of new capabilities we announced in our latest innovation release, dem Commvault Platform Release 2023(released Dec 15th, 2022).

I know I felt like a kid in a candy store trying to decide what I’m going to try first when I return to the office in 2023.

Ich habe auf der re:Invent vier zentrale Themen beobachtet, die die Grundlage für die verantwortungsvolle Entwicklung sicherer und nachhaltiger Cloud-nativer Anwendungen bilden. Entwickler müssen die Sicherheit von Daten während der Übertragung und im Ruhezustand, eine verantwortungsvolle Skalierung sowie Cloud-Betriebsabläufe berücksichtigen, die auf geplante und ungeplante Ereignisse reagieren:

Securing the cloud, which continues to be Job Zero for both AWS and builders alike as we strive to build more data-driven applications, that are more accessible than ever before. Some notable releases that will positively impact AWS and Commvault customers looking to protect their AWS resources were:

Scaling Cloud Operations was a recurring theme for almost all service and feature releases. As businesses expand in AWS service adoption and consumption, they need to be able to scale or automate their cloud operations. Some notable enhancements to help achieve cost-optimized operations were:

  • AWS kündigt „Systems Manager Quick Setup“ für den Resource Scheduler an, wodurch die Einrichtung des zeitgesteuerten Ein- und Ausschaltens von Ressourcen sowie die Kapazitätsoptimierung zur Kosteneinsparung vereinfacht wird.

    Commvault automates the power management of MediaAgents by powering Amazon EC2 data management resources on and off as backup and recovery activities occur. This approach saves runtime costs but migrates resource optimization to an event-driven scalable approach. You can automate resource power management. backup, and recovery operations with Commvault too, just grab an access token to access the Commvault service endpoint and start automating today.
  • Amazon CloudWatch führt eine kontoübergreifende Überwachbarkeit über mehrere AWS-Konten hinweg einund unterstützt Sie bei der Überwachung und Fehlerbehebung von Anwendungen, die sich über mehrere Konten erstrecken. Dies ist oft von entscheidender Bedeutung für Ihr Datenmanagementsystem, wie beispielsweise Commvault, bei dem sich Ihre geschützten Workloads und Datenmanagement-Workloads in verschiedenen Konten befinden.

    Commvault recommends using AWS resource tags on all your AWS resources to improve visibility, cost transparency, and support automation efforts. Commvault ensures tags are restored on all created resources and allows the setting of tags during recovery to align with your observability, cost management, and security needs.
  • Amazon FSx für NetApp ONTAP kündigt vier neue benutzerfreundliche Features an added more usability enhancements to the fully managed shared storage service built on NetApp’s popular ONTAP file system. Customers looking to expand into AWS, lift-and-shift applications with high-IOPS storage needs, or reuse on-prem storage management processes in AWS – can now adopt Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP.

    Commvault announced IntelliSnap® snapshot management for Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP in Commvault Platform Release 2023. Customers can orchestrate application-aware snapshots and service-independent streamed backup copies of Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP SMB shares, NFS exports, and iSCSI volumes. Snapshot-based backups can be replicated using NetApp SnapVault and SnapMirror between Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP file systems or between on-prem and the AWS Cloud.

Expanding to new Regions and Zones was a common theme across 2022 with AWS expanding availability into three new regions – Europe (Zurich) eu-central-2, Europa (Spanien) eu-south-2 und Asien-Pazifik (Hyderabad) ap-south-2  and up to a total of 281 AWS Local Zones. AWS services and resources are now even more available to begin your 2023 migration projects.

Commvault makes migration simpler, more secure, and faster by converting and replicating UEFI-based VMs to Amazon EC2, including the programmatic modification of on-prem Linux hosts to automatically inject required Amazon EC2 nitro OS drivers. Get started today with a one-time conversion or set up periodic replication and cut-over to running in AWS when required.

New toys for builders is what re: Invent is all about, and 2022 was no exception.

  • Amazon RDS Optimized Reads ist nun verfügbar und ermöglicht bis zu 50 % schnellere Abfragen auf Amazon RDS für MySQL offers up to 50% faster query processing compared to previous generations. Depending on the data protection scheme employed, this performance may deliver significant performance to data management activities that share processing resources on Amazon RDS instances, more in the future when our lab testing completes…
  • Die Einführung von Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) Express für Amazon EC2-Instanzen delivers enhanced networking performance via the introduction of the Scalable Reliable Datagram (SRD) protocol. Higher single flow bandwidth and lower latency between EC2 instances could deliver significant backup and recovery performance, more when we emerge from the Commvault labs…
  • AWS announces Amazon VPC Lattice (Preview) is an application layer networking service that simplifies the connection, securing and monitoring of service-to-service communication. As monolithic applications become more and more decomposed, and more and more decoupled – Amazon VPC Lattice becomes crucial. Commvault will watch this service closely with potential applications to our Amazon EKS and Amazon VPC protection portfolio.

Commvault ist sehr gespannt darauf, welche Auswirkungen einige dieser Leistungsverbesserungen auf die Datensicherung, die Replikation und die Recovery haben werden.

Sie können noch heute loslegen, indem Sie die Commvault Platform Release 2023 aus demCommvault Software Store, or if you want don’t want to setup and configure a data protection system – sign up for a kostenlose 30-tägige Metallic-Testversionan und beginnen Sie noch heute mit dem Schutz Ihrer AWS-Ressourcen.

Have a happy holiday and rest up, as all the work you did to be Recovery Ready with Commvault and Metallic in 2022 will pay off during the holiday break…

Business Continuity Planning for the Cloud-Native Era

Read more about Business Continuity Planning for the Cloud-Native Era

The holiday period is upon us, and for me that means one thing, watching Die Hard. 

I may have a soft spot for Kevin McCallister and the charm of Home Alone, but Bruce Willis going up against a band of resolute (and Alan Rickman obviously aside) bad actors (sorry – couldn’t resist the pun) intent on gaining access to a vault of untraceable bearer bonds is the perfect holiday film.

But as I settle down watch it this year, I am struck by the parallels between the movie’s plot and a ransomware attack.  So, what lessons can Die Hard tell us about a ransomware attack?

1. Size of Attack Surface matters

The location for the majority of the Die-Hard action was the Nakatomi Plaza – a 30 plus floor sky scraper in the heart of Los Angeles. 

From airducts to elevator shafts, lobbies to rooftops, and everything in between, there’s a lot of real estate to secure and a lot of places for bad guys to hide. 

Now a data estate is exactly the same.  The more surface there is, the more vulnerabilities and failure points there may be to access or compromise your data.  And it is a big concern, in fact according to recent ESG research, only 12% of IT professionals report that their ransomware detection tools are adequate and can also cover the growing data estate, regardless of where data lives.

2. A ransom might not be what they are after

Remember that scene when Alan Rickman lists names of terrorists that the gang wishes to exchange for the hostages?  It’s a smokescreen with the aim of misdirection. 

The same is true in data security – with so many bad actors using data now in malicious ways (think leakage, exfiltration, theft and restructure) – holding data hostage for a sum of money is a prime objective anymore.  In fact, so much so that ESG estimate that preventing data damage is now the top concern of IT decision makers (88%) overtaking the concerns around recovery.

And if you actually pay the ransom, there is little guarantee that you will get your data back. In fact, according to Matthew Woodwood – only 8% of all ransomware-paying organizations got their data back even after paying the ransom.

3. Social Engineering – The bad actors will have done their research (and are very sneaky)

Just like in Die Hard, the attackers would likely have done their research and will have a sophisticated and detailed plan – that are designed to do more than just data encryption.

They are also sneaky and may employ social engineering tactics, which is a popular tactic among attackers because it is often easier to exploit people than it is to find a network or software vulnerability.  Passwords and existing security measures are very valuable and internal employees are often targets – at all levels of the organization.

Social Engineering will often be used as a first step in a larger campaign.  You can find out more in this tech target article hier.

4. The attacks will keep on coming (and coming)

As well as being well informed, motivated and cunning, our attackers are persistent.  John McClane would have had a much easier job if he was fending off just one bad actor, but the reality is (as with in a ransomware attack) the numbers are stacked against him.

For attackers, a single-minded strategy rarely leads to a successful breach. Threat actors increase their chance for return on investment by following multiple paths to their target – critical business data – by diverting their attack strategies. 

5. Don’t “just” rely on recovery or insurance

If Bruce Willis just waited it out with the hope that insurance would pay out, then it would be a pretty short film, and one that might not have had a dramatic ending!  

Cyber Insurance is an area that has changed rapidly over the past 12 months.  Clauses around cybersecurity insurance are increasingly tightening – as evidenced by Lloyds of London earlier this year.  Many insurers are also imposing stricter safeguarding requirements, which although helping to support increased levels of cyber security defences, this can also leave some organizations and especially SMB’s exposed, as they are less able to meet the new minimum threshold limits.

Dr Sally Eaves covered this exact topic in this excellent bloghier

Conclusion – A Proactive Approach to Ransomware is essential (be more John McClane)

OK – all film metaphors aside, we do have a serious holiday (and beyond) message for everyone. 

In addition to your overall cybersecurity plan and your established data recovery strategy, your ransomware protection needs to be proactive and start before your data is compromised. 

Metallic® ThreatWise™ is that difference.  It’s early warning ransomware detection which enables businesses to actively defend data, protect backup infrastructure, and respond to threats sooner. How does it work? Using patented deception technology, ThreatWise tricks malicious bad actors into engaging fake resources, exposing themselves before data leakage, exfiltration, or encryption. It means less risk of data impact, less downtime, and less recoveries. . 

It’s time to get ThreatWise™ and defend your data, not just recover it.  It’s the solution that John McClane would choose. 

End Credits (the cast)

  • John McClane (Bruce Willis)  – Metallic® ThreatWise™
  • Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) and team – Hackers/ Ransomware Operatives
  • Al Powell (Reginald VelJohnson) – Your friendly IT and Security Teams

I’m proud to be the Executive Sponsor of our CapAbilities ERG, an employee group whose mission is to raise awareness and break down the bias of workplace issues that affect people with disabilities and/or caregivers of those with a disability. We recently had a Courageous Conversation virtual event, in partnership with our Family Support Network EAG, on managing your career while caring for a loved one with a disability. I was fortunate to be able to share my own story with the support of Commvault. In honor of International Day of Persons with Disabilities on December 3rd, I wanted to share my story here as well.

My daughter Emily, now 18 years old, was born with Goldenhar syndrome, a rare craniofacial condition. She was born missing her entire lower jaw, and her craniofacial problems have required her to have more than 40 surgeries to date. While she’s come such a long way since the day she was born, Goldenhar syndrome is something she will continue to live with throughout her entire life.

I’ve been at Commvault for almost 18 years, so Emily’s journey began within my first year at Commvault. When Emily was born, I basically had to mature overnight. And I have to admit, Emily’s story was not something I shared immediately with my colleagues. There were countless times I took conference calls from hospitals and waiting rooms, and nobody knew. But as I matured professionally and became more comfortable, I went from hiding Emily’s story to advocating for it – Emily’s story eventually became a part of me at Commvault.

Our job as parents of children with disabilities is to give them the opportunity to have the best life possible, and that’s something my wife, Nancy, and I have always focused on. It’s all about advocacy – when you start with advocacy, then change will happen. And over the years, as we continued to advocate for Emily, we also instilled within her the importance of advocating for herself. And moreover, to never, ever, stop. Part of Emily’s early advocacy outreach included Bring Your Child to Work Day at our headquarters office multiple times early in her teen years.  Emily brought her service dog and shared her story with our Vaulters. She loved doing it, and this opportunity jumpstarted her own advocacy journey, as she began to present at schools and talk to students about her story. Over the years, Emily’s mission has been to spread awareness about kindness and acceptance to kids of all ages by doing presentations live on-site, through video conferences, and on social media. I couldn’t be more proud of her.

https://play.vidyard.com/wtBUwSQaydEVuGb4JrVKdQ

Emily’s journey has taught me so much, both personally and professionally. While there have been so many life sessions and learning moments, a few that we focused our discussion on during our Courageous Conversation are:

  1. Listen and pay attention to detail. When doctors start using fancy words, you have to listen. When you’re home dealing with your child with a disability, you have to be able to listen to what they’re saying (and not saying) and pay that close attention to detail. These skills have not only taught me to be a better father, but a better professional as well. Staying present and listening helps me do my job better and best support my team.
  2. Value the impact of support. It’s incredibly important to accept the support you may need, and sometimes that means being vulnerable. Lean on the resources available to you and leverage them. As I mentioned earlier, I wasn’t always open to sharing Emily’s story and accepting support at work. But to manage work-life balance and be my best self at Commvault, I realized how impactful a support network really is.   
  3. Embrace life’s challenges. Navigating the unknown and overcoming obstacles is what makes us stronger at home and at work. While there have been so many challenges related to Emily’s disability, I realize how much I have learned and grown from our situation. The life skills I’ve developed have not only made me a better person at home, but they’ve made me a better colleague and leader at Commvault.

Without the support of Commvault over the past 18 years, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Showing how we care is foundational to who we are as a company. Our CapAbilities ERG is creating a safe and empathetic space where Vaulters with disabilities, caregivers, and allies can openly and honestly have discussions and drive change together.

When I look back, I wouldn’t change a thing about Emily’s journey and our situation. It’s made me who I am today, and Emily continues to shine and make a difference in the world every day.

Business Continuity Planning for the Cloud-Native Era

Read more about Business Continuity Planning for the Cloud-Native Era

IaaS, PaaS, SaaS – oh je! Seit die ersten nennenswerten Plattformen Anfang der 2000er Jahre „Infrastructure-as-a-Service“-Lösungen angeboten haben, hat sich viel verändert. Was einst als todsicherer Weg zur Senkung der IT-Kosten durch das Outsourcing von Hardware und die Bereitstellung in der Public Cloud galt, ist heute nicht mehr so eindeutig.

Im Laufe der Jahre waren im Bereich der Public Cloud immer höhere Kosten und potenzielle böse Überraschungen bei den Bereitstellungsmodellen zu beobachten, was viele IT-Entscheidungsträger dazu veranlasst hat, neu zu überdenken, wie und wo sie ihre Workloads ausführen.

Juggling the decision-making process of what stays in which public cloud, what workloads get “repatriated” back to on-prem solutions, and when it makes sense to leverage newly introduced delivery models is a full-time job in and of itself.

During Commvault Connections 2022, we dove into the state of the public cloud, addressed some of the common challenges that organizations face in today’s modern cloud era, and shared how Commvault solutions can simplify your journey, reduce corporate risk, and increase IT productivity.

Lesen Sie weiter, um mehr über die Vorträge zu erfahren und zu erfahren, wie Commvault Ihnen hilft, in einer unsicheren Welt fundierte Investitionsentscheidungen zu treffen, ohne auf Vermutungen angewiesen zu sein.

Navigating Cost Optimization & Risk Mitigation in the Modern Cloud Era

In today’s multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud environments, data sprawl transcends storage concerns and enters into the dangerous territory of increased corporate risk, threatened profitability, and hindered operational excellence. With so many locations for workloads being available across a multitude of delivery models and form-factors, just getting line-of-sight into all your data, no matter where it lives, is critical. Commvault solutions benefit from having the industry’s broadest workload coverage giving you capabilities and insights that allow you to rein in data sprawl, reduce your corporate attack surface, and optimize cost-effectiveness.

Embracing the Power of Automation

More than ever, today’s IT Professionals face increased pressure to do more with less. In trying to overcome the challenges and costs associated with a cloud vendor lock-in, many IT Leaders are faced with an uphill battle of finding skilled labor across all major cloud competencies…and then having to pay for it. Commvault allows you to overcome the IT skill gap by providing the ability to transform and move data from one cloud provider and/or form-factor to another, natively, all without the need for skilled labor.

More Data, More Risk? Introducing File & Object Archive backup-as-a-service

https://play.vidyard.com/9i2zJtux2kZFu7Q6zzfvuN

Got a need? Consider it covered! From informed data placement to actionable insights, Commvault’s Metallic® File & Object Archive provides you with a trusted cloud-based archive service. We use modeling tools, actionable data insights and compliance-friendly operations to reduce your costs and increase your productivity and quality of service. With Commvault, we’ve got the expertise and experience to ensure that your organization’s data will be compliant now and for years to come.

This blog was updated in October 2025.

A ransomware attack is far more likely to occur today than ever before, and any organization could fall victim. According to theFBI’s 2024 Internet Crime Report, 67 new ransomware variants were identified in 2024 alone, demonstrating the rapidly evolving threat landscape that organizations must defend against.

Ransomware complaints increased by 9% in 2024, with cybercrime losses reaching $16.6 billion – a 33% increase from 2023, the report revealed. If companies fall victim to an attack not only may it affect revenue, but it may also hurt their brand.

Air Gapping als Abschreckung gegen Ransomware-Angriffe

Air-Gapping schafft eine zusätzliche Sicherheitsebene, um Ihre Daten zu schützen und das Risiko von Ransomware zu mindern. Es dient dazu, sekundäre oder tertiäre Sicherungskopien zu isolieren und zu segmentieren, sodass sie von den öffentlich zugänglichen Bereichen der Umgebung aus nicht erreichbar sind.

Sollte Ihr Unternehmen von Ransomware oder einem böswilligen Angreifer infiltriert werden, verfügt die Cyberbedrohung nur über eine begrenzte Angriffsfläche. Die öffentlich zugänglichen Bereiche der Umgebung können zwar infiziert werden, die isolierten Daten jedoch nicht, da auf sie weder zugegriffen noch können sie geändert oder gelöscht werden. Die Backups sind sicher und für eine Wiederherstellung verfügbar.

Vergleichen Sie Air-Gapping mit der Verteidigung einer mittelalterlichen Burg. Die Burg ist von Wasser umgeben, und der einzige Zugang zur Burg besteht darin, dass die Zugbrücke regelmäßig heruntergelassen wird, um die Lücke zu überbrücken. Indem Sie eine Sicherungskopie auf einer Speicherinfrastruktur speichern, die von einer externen Verbindung aus physisch unzugänglich ist, schränken Sie den Zugriff ein und begrenzen das Infektionsrisiko drastisch.

Commvault vereinfacht das „Air-Gapping“ von Backup-Daten

Commvault® Cloud leverages a multi-layered approach to ransomware readiness, providing robust controls to help prevent threats and keep data available and recoverable from cyberattack. With immutable, air-gapped data copies, anomaly detection, and built-in encryption, Commvault helps safeguard critical data across apps, endpoints, on-prem, and cloud environments.

Commvault AirGap is a fully managed cloud storage target, offering security and scale for organizations adopting cloud storage. Available with Backup and Recovery, as well as with the SaaS hybrid cloud portfolio, Commvault AirGap makes it simple to leverage cloud storage – without a steep learning curve – for air-gapped ransomware protection and optimized costs.

Die größten Herausforderungen beim cloudbasierten Ransomware-Schutz:

  • Steigende Cloud-Kosten durch Cloud-Erweiterungen und -Bereitstellungen
  • Zuverlässiger Ransomware-Schutz durch eine sichere, luftisolierte, externe Datenkopie
  • Trusted backup and recoverability of an organization’s most valuable asset: data

Commvault Cloud offers industry-leading durability, security, scalability, and performance, capable of protecting business data from today’s and tomorrow’s cyberthreats.

Die wichtigsten Vorteile von Commvault AirGap:

  • Reduzierung von Ransomware und Risiken
  • Kapazitätswachstum
  • Effektives Management der Cloud-Kosten
  • Einführung einer Hybrid-Cloud
  • Sekundäre Backup-Kopien

Flexible Speicherarchitektur

Commvault AirGap’s Frequent Access and Infrequent Access Storage options deliver flexibility for cloud storage deployments. This tiered architecture enables organizations to optimize their backup strategies based on specific use cases, recovery time objectives, and retention policies.

Frequent Access Storage serves as the ideal foundation for primary backup repositories where rapid data retrieval is required. Organizations that need quick access to recent backups for daily operations, frequent restores, or active data management will find this tier suited to their immediate recovery needs. The enhanced performance characteristics help enable minimal downtime during critical restore operations.

Infrequent Access Storage provides a cost-effective solution for secondary storage requirements, particularly for organizations implementing longer-term retention policies or compliance-driven storage needs. This tier excels at storing data that may be accessed less frequently but remains crucial for regulatory compliance, historical analysis, or disaster recovery scenarios.

With ransomware threats continuing to evolve and financial impacts reaching record levels, implementing air gap protection is no longer optional – it’s essential for business continuity. Commvault AirGap provides the modern approach to air gapping that organizations need: combining the security benefits of traditional air gap methods with the accessibility and scalability required for today’s business environments.

Business Continuity Planning for the Cloud-Native Era

Read more about Business Continuity Planning for the Cloud-Native Era

Die Cloud-native Landschaft entwickelt sich rasant weiter, und es wird erwartet, dass bis 2025 85 % der Unternehmen weltweit Container in der Produktion einsetzen werden¹. Um Ihre Geschäftsziele weiterhin zu erreichen und gleichzeitig die geschäftliche Agilität zu steigern sowie die Abläufe zu optimieren, benötigen Sie eine ganzheitliche, umfassende Datenmanagement-Lösung für Ihren gesamten Datenbestand.

Commvault war schon immer Vorreiter beim Schutz neuer Technologien – und das gilt auch für Container und Kubernetes. Wir haben umfassende Unterstützung für den Schutz von Anwendungen, die auf einem Kubernetes-Cluster laufen, sowie deren Daten entwickelt. Jede von der CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) zertifizierte Kubernetes-Distributionwird unterstützt, und überdas CSI-Framework (Container Storage Interface)unterstützen wir zudem eine Vielzahl vonSpeicheranbietern auf Kubernetes. So stellen wir sicher, dass Sie über einen vollständigen Cloud-nativen Datenschutz verfügen, der über eine einzige, einfach zu verwaltende Datenmanagement-Lösung gesteuert wird.

In dieser neuen Version erweitern wir den Datenschutz für Kubernetes um zwei wichtige neue Funktionen:

  • Umfassender Schutz auf Cluster- und Namespace-Ebene.
  • Schutz des ETCD.

Zusammenfassung

Mit Commvault können Anwender einen Kubernetes-Cluster ganz einfach in das Commvault Command Center™ integrieren – die zentrale Oberfläche für alle Ihre Anforderungen in den Bereichen Datensicherung, Datenmanagement und Datenlebenszyklus.

Commvault definiert eine Kubernetes-Anwendung als alles, was ein Pod oder eine Sammlung von Pods ist, d. h.: Deployments, ReplicaSets, StatefulSets usw. sowie die damit verbundenen Komponenten, wie sie aus den entsprechenden Anwendungs-YAML-Dateien abgeleitet werden.

Um das etwas zu verdeutlichen: Wenn wir uns eine Anwendung wie beispielsweise ein Deployment ansehen, prüfen wir deren Konfigurationsspezifikation und ermitteln alle PVCs (Persistent Volume Claims), Secrets, ConfigMaps und andere zugehörige Entitäten. All dies zusammen bildet eine Anwendung.

A user can browse an onboarded cluster for applications, select and group them together into an “Application Group” based on backup SLAs (Service Level Agreements), retention needs or any other criteria.

Benutzer können Anwendungen auf verschiedene Arten zu Anwendungsgruppen hinzufügen:

  1. Durchsuchen Sie alle Anwendungen in einem oder mehreren Namensräumen und wählen Sie diese aus.
  2. Wählen Sie bestimmte Anwendungen aus.
  3. Verwenden Sie dynamische Erkennungsregeln: z. B.: Wählen Sie Anwendungen aus, die einem bestimmten Label-Selektor oder Namen usw. entsprechen.

Die dynamische Erkennung ist besonders dann nützlich, wenn ein Backup-Administrator die DevOps-Teams dazu anweisen kann, Label-Selektoren für ihre Anwendungen festzulegen, und dabei bestimmte Schutz-SLAs (Service Level Agreements) garantiert werden.

Sicherungsaufträge werden auf der Ebene der Anwendungsgruppe ausgeführt und nutzen die Inhaltsregeln, um vorhandene und neu erstellte Anwendungen sowie deren Ressourcen im Cluster zur Laufzeit zu ermitteln und Sicherungen durchzuführen. PVCs werden, sofern verfügbar, mithilfe von CSI gesichert; alternativ kann Commvault bei Nichtverfügbarkeit von CSI mithilfe der „ReadMany“-Semantik direkt auf PVCs zugreifen.

Ein Diagramm, das veranschaulicht, wie das Ganze abläuft.

Mit Commvault lässt sich die Wiederherstellung einer Anwendung oder ihrer Daten auf verschiedenen Granularitätsebenen durchführen:

  • Wiederherstellung auf Anwendungsebene: Eine gesamte Anwendung kann zusammen mit den zugehörigen Ressourcen und Daten in einem Schritt wiederhergestellt werden.
  • Application files: An application’s data (or portions thereof) residing on PVCs can be restored piecemeal without having to restore the entire application.
  • Anwendungskonfigurationsdateien: Konfigurationsdateien, aus denen eine Anwendung besteht, können als Dateien wiederhergestellt werden, sodass ein Benutzer sie bearbeiten kann, bevor er sie auf den Cluster anwendet.

Verbesserungen

Nun ist es an der Zeit, über die spannenden neuen Erweiterungen zu sprechen, die einen umfassenden Kubernetes-Schutz bieten und inder Plattformversion 2022E.

1. Umfassender Schutz für den gesamten Cluster

Mit diesen Features haben wir eine praktische Schaltfläche für den Backup-Administrator hinzugefügt: „Bitte alles auf dem Cluster sichern“. Vielen Dank!

Everything in the cluster including cluster-scoped resources is picked up when configured in this manner.

Zudem werden auch Namespaces, die zum Zeitpunkt der Sicherung neu entdeckt werden, automatisch einbezogen.

Backup-Administratoren müssen nicht mehr einzelne Namespaces oder Anwendungen innerhalb eines Namespaces auswählen, damit diese vollständig geschützt sind.

2. Schutz auf Namespace-Ebene

Neben einem gesamten Cluster können Benutzer nun auch einen gesamten Namespace sichern, d. h. Anwendungen (und deren Ressourcen) sowie alle nicht referenzierten Ressourcen innerhalb des Namespace (wir bezeichnen diese als „Orphans“).

Außerdem können Benutzer nun Namespaces vollständig wiederherstellen und dabei dennoch die oben erläuterten granularen Wiederherstellungen beibehalten.

3. Schutz des etcd.

etcd ist eine verteilte, replizierte Datenbank, die Kubernetes zur Speicherung der Clusterkonfiguration nutzt. Die folgende Abbildung veranschaulicht den Einsatz von etcd in einem typischen Kubernetes-Cluster.

Jeder Knoten der Steuerungsebene verfügt über eine Replik bzw. Kopie von etcd.

Losing/corrupting these copies can wreak havoc on a Kubernetes administrator’s day (or week).

Da etcd über die Master-Knoten eines Kubernetes-Clusters hinweg repliziert wird, versuchen herkömmliche Lösungen, etcd durch den Schutz der Master-Knoten zu sichern.Dies wird häufig dadurch erreicht, dass auf diesen Cluster-Knoten Lösungen bereitgestellt werden, um etcd lokal zu schützen.This is unwieldy and cumbersome at best because it separates protection for the applications running on the cluster and the protection for the cluster state into two very disparate mechanisms.Protecting application state and protecting cluster state go hand in hand and separating the two can lead to inconsistencies esp.when recovering from a disaster.

Commvault integriert nun den etcd-Schutz nahtlos neben dem Anwendungs- und dem vollständigen Cluster-Schutz in das Command Center. Der Benutzer muss lediglich einen Schalter für den Cluster aktivieren, um etcd zu schützen, und ein SLA auswählen. Das war’s schon! Wirklich! (Siehe Abbildung unten)

With these enhancements we have developed a holistic comprehensive solution for your Kubernetes Data Protection needs and, integrated it into our Commvault Command Center so you can simplify management of your entire data estate from a single interface. No wonder Commvault continues to be anoutperformer in this space.

25 years of Microsoft + Commvault co-engineering will be highlighted at Microsoft Ignite, with a focus on a single & easy-to deploy solution for business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR)

In a recent conversation with a long-time customer, their comments on the current state of backup and recovery (or data protection as it’s more commonly referred to) pretty much sums it up: “All of a sudden, it’s the most important thing to everyone in the organization – and it’s no longer boring!” 

Da böswillige Akteure immer neue Wege finden, an Ihre Daten zu gelangen, und gleichzeitig von der obersten Führungsebene jedes Unternehmens Druck ausgeübt wird, sicherzustellen, dass Daten geschützt und im Falle eines Vorfalls wiederherstellbar sind, steht der Datenschutz unbestreitbar im Mittelpunkt. Flexibilität und die Fähigkeit, immer einen Schritt voraus zu sein, sind der Schlüssel zum Erfolg.

At Microsoft Ignite, running October 12th – 14th, the partnership between Commvault and Microsoft will be on full display, showcasing the over two decades of proven best practices we’ve leveraged into a powerful solution running on Azure. A single solution, the Commvault and Microsoft offering protects your entire data estate – wherever your data resides – providing the confidence you need to innovate faster while ensuring you won’t have to manage and maintain multiple solutions.

At Microsoft Ignite, Nutanix announced support for Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) running on Microsoft Azure. This will help Nutanix customers accelerate cloud adoption through unified management and seamless mobility for applications, data, and licenses across on-prem and Azure environments.1 This platform will allow Nutanix customers to move Nutanix workloads to – and from – on-prem into an Azure-based NC2 cluster, as an extension of their existing Nutanix ecosystem.

Commvault’s industry-leading platform provides seamless data protection and management for NC2 on Azure. Customers looking to extend their existing protection platform into the cloud can grow into a hybrid cloud model or even build a net new, cloud-based data protection platform to protect greenfield NC2 on Azure environments. Customers can seamlessly leverage Azure VM resources to build their data management platform and can easily consume Azure storage options for use for retention copies of their data without requiring additional resources running on the NC2 on Azure.

Einfach zu konfigurieren und zu nutzen

Sobald NC2 auf Azure bereitgestellt wurde, können Kunden ein Subnetz im Prism Central-Verwaltungs-VNet erstellen, das innerhalb von Azure angelegt wurde, wodurch eine direkte Kommunikation zwischen den Azure-Datensicherungsressourcen und NC2 auf Azure ermöglicht wird. Sobald dieses Subnetz konfiguriert ist, können Kunden Commvault-Ressourcen innerhalb des Subnetzes bereitstellen. Dazu können CommServe, MediaAgent, Access Nodes und weitere Komponenten gehören, die alle direkten Zugriff auf die NC2-Umgebung auf Azure haben. Commvault bietet sogar ein Azure-Marketplace-Angebot an, mit dem alle erforderlichen Ressourcen für den Kunden per Knopfdruck bereitgestellt werden.

Sobald die Commvault-Plattform konfiguriert ist, dauert die Einrichtung des Nutanix AHV-Hypervisors nur wenige Sekunden, und die Datensicherung kann sofort beginnen. Bei der Datensicherung kann die Direct-NFS-Übertragungsmethode für Nutanix AHV genutzt werden, wodurch sich der Ressourcenbedarf auf der NC2-on-Azure-Plattform verringert.

Einfachheit bei Datenschutz und Recovery

Mit Commvault On-Prem können Kunden zudem Workloads schnell und einfach zwischen lokalen Umgebungen und NC2-Umgebungen auf Azure verschieben und gleichzeitig Workloads – durch einen einfachen Recovery-Vorgang – problemlos auf cloudnative Plattformen wie Azure VM übertragen.

Kurze Zusammenfassung

Mit „Nutanix Cloud Clusters on Azure“ können Kunden ihren Weg in die Hybrid Cloud beschleunigen. Und Commvault ist bereit, ihre Daten und Workloads zu schützen, unabhängig davon, wo sie sich befinden: vor Ort, in der Cloud und in Hybridumgebungen. Neben dem Schutz von Daten auf den „Nutanix Cloud Clusters on Azure“ ist Commvault der Branchenführer beim Schutz von Azure-VMs, Azure Storage und praktisch allen anderen Workloads in einer Unternehmensumgebung.

Commvault bietet branchenführende Leistung in den Bereichen Skalierbarkeit der Datensicherung, Datentransformation, Datenmanagement und Deduplizierung.

Continuing our very full dance card for October, this week the Commvault team is in Las Vegas at Oracle CloudWorld and while we’re thrilled to be a gold sponsor of the show, Commvault and Oracle are so much more than just event supporters – we’re also multi-could partners! In fact, we expandedour strategic partnership with Oracle a few months ago to include the entire portfolio of Metallic Data Management as a Service (DMaaS) offerings onOracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). 

Die Gleichung ist einfach:OCI + Metallic DMaaS= benutzerfreundliches Unternehmensdatenmanagement, Schutz vor Bedrohungen und Recovery. Was bedeutet das nun genau? Oracle-Kunden können nun kritische Workloads in der Cloud oder vor Ort schützen, indem sie Flexibilität zwischen IT-verwaltetem Speicher und SaaS-basiertem Datenschutz für verwalteten Cloud-Speicher gewährleisten. Die Einfachheit liegt in der Benutzeroberfläche. Alle Datenbestände, die in Hybrid- und Multi-Cloud-Umgebungen geschützt und gesichert sind, werden über eine einzige webbasierte Konsole verwaltet.

But that’s just the beginning. Commvault and Oracle are already well down the path on our newly minted, multi-cloud, SaaS-delivered DMaaS journey. Just this week, Commvault rolled out new support and features for the Metallic DMaaS portfolio designed specifically to expand support for OCI.

Specifically, Metallic now protects Oracle Database Cloud Service (DBCS) and Oracle Exadata Database Service on OCI, as well as OCI Object Storage.  These workloads join our existing support for Oracle, Oracle RAC, Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE) and OCI VMs. Metallic provides support for both Metallic Recovery Reserve for OCI storage and BYO OCI Storage for air-gapped protection. 

Wie mein Kollege Jeff bereits in seinemRückblick during last week’s events, the conversation doesn’t end at CloudWorld. Oracle is bringing its expertise to bear alongside our best and brightest at the upcoming Commvault Connections 22 event. Oracle’s Joe Corvaia, GVP, NACT ISV, MGS and MSP Sales, will join Commvault’s Chief Partner Officer Alan Atkinson, to discuss best practices for protecting against ransomware in a multi-cloud world. It’s just a few weeks away and I can tell you it’s going to be a world-class cloud experience. Register for Connections today and reserve your seat now for this special partner session!
