Data SECURITY & Risk Minimization benefits 

Data governance controls & threat and anomaly detection

Improve your data and cybersecurity posture by better understanding data and proactively monitoring for cyber threats like hackers, ransomware, and malware. 


Discover, classify, and protect sensitive data 

Reduce your data footprint and safeguard sensitive data to maintain trust, including secrets like keys or passwords, PII, and other sensitive or regulated data. 


Reduce risk and improve cyber resilience 

Added protection for applications and data, including proactive and in-line scanning of data for new and persistent threats, helps reduce risk of recovery failures. 


Understand data and backup resiliency posture

Easily check configurations and settings within your data against best practices to reduce risk to your live and backup environments. 

enhanced control

Advanced data governance

Commvault® Cloud provides visibility and control over your data estate with automated data governance policies that help reduce your attack surface and assist with regulatory compliance. 


Scan and classify live data

Automatically label and tag data to apply retention and data protection policies.


Automate data lifecycle actions 

Trigger retention policies based on your data lifecycle, or pause those policies indefinitely in the case of eDiscovery or legal holds.


Minimize redundant, obsolete, and trivial data

Shrink your attack surface and storage costs by eliminating duplicate, unnecessary, or unneeded data from your data estate. 


Fully customizable data discovery

In addition to dozens of out-of-the-box classifiers for sensitive data, automatically discover anything your data governance teams deem sensitive—including keywords and secrets like API keys.

ADVANCED SECURITY & RISK MITIGATION

Early warning & threat and anomaly detection

Commvault Cloud helps shift your cyber defenses left to detect threats and mitigate risk earlier in the attack lifecycle. 


Detect threats and unusual activity

Discover malware, automatically quarantine suspicious files, and create a clean point so that corrupt or compromised data isn’t restored during recovery.

Explore Threat Scan

Deploy decoys and traps for attackers

Strategically place high-value decoy data to look legitimate but act as an early warning sensor to detect threats proactively.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is cyber risk?

Cyber risk comes from threats against technology that a business uses daily. These risks sometimes arise from simple failures of SaaS applications or from malicious actors looking to compromise your data, infrastructure, or operations with malware or ransomware.

How does the use of early warning or threat detection technology help reduce risk?

The earlier an attack or malicious actor is found within your environment, the higher the likelihood you can stop or minimize a full-scale data breach. Instrumenting your environment with sensors or monitoring behaviors can uncover suspicious activity so security operations teams can shut it down.

How does cyber risk management contribute to a cyber resilience plan or program?

Understanding what you have within your environment and how it’s currently protected provides a baseline for measuring a cyber resilience program. Implementing better detection mechanisms, minimizing your attack surface, and having good visibility into your current data security posture can all help mature your cyber resilience and help you bounce back in the event of an attack.

What is a decoy in the context of early warning?

A decoy is a system or piece of data that looks appealing to an attacker performing reconnaissance on your environment and looking for ways to get access to important or sensitive data. Often, decoys are only visible to illegitimate users. When an attacker attempts to open, probe, or manipulate a decoy, a high-fidelity warning is immediately triggered to alert security operations teams to the threat actor.
