Key Takeaways
- IT and Security misalignment increases cyber risk.
- Commvault Cloud enables unified response and recovery.
- Arlie AI delivers shared intelligence and guided action.
- Secure by Design principles underpin trust and compliance.
- A shared mindset is foundational to cyber resilience.
In today’s enterprise environment, cyber resilience depends on more than tools. It depends on whether IT and Security teams operate with shared intent. With Commvault Cloud, organizations gain a unified platform that connects detection, response, and recovery – helping CIOs and CISOs move forward together without compromise.
Understanding the IT and Security Divide
IT and Security teams share a common mission: enable the business to succeed. Yet their paths often diverge through opposing objectives, siloed tools, and disjointed workstreams.
IT Operations prioritize speed, scalability, automation, and uptime.
Security Operations focus on protecting data, reducing risk, and maintaining compliance through the CIA triad – confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
When these perspectives collide without coordination, silos form. Communication slows. Risk increases.
Why Misalignment Undermines Cyber Resilience
Lack of alignment creates tangible consequences:
- Slower incident detection and response.
- Inefficient and error-prone recovery.
- Expanded blast radius during cyberattacks.
- Increased operational friction during crises.
Cyber resilience demands coordinated action across detection, investigation, and recovery.
Bridging the Gap with Commvault Cloud
Commvault demonstrates how technology can align teams instead of fragmenting them.
- Faster, cleaner recoveries: Commvault provides threat insights, scanning against indicators of compromise and sharing insights with security tooling while enabling rapid, reliable recovery. Together, teams can identify affected systems and restore operations with confidence.
- Targeted risk mitigation: Capabilities such as cyber resilience assessments, scenario simulations, and isolated testing in cleanrooms allow organizations to prepare without impacting production environments.
- Unified incident management: Integrated workflows connect detection, investigation, and recovery, minimizing room for miscommunication, and helping to accelerate resolution.
- Scalable, tailored services: Commvault incident response recovery services adapt to organizational needs, supporting resilience without overextending resources.
- Shared expertise: Customers can benefit from combined guidance across architecture planning, process optimization, and operational readiness.
Arlie AI: Shared Intelligence in Action
Arlie AI, Commvault’s Autonomous Resilience copilot, strengthens collaboration by delivering real-time insights and guided workflows.
Arlie helps:
- Surface anomalies and critical data.
- Guide users step by step during incidents.
- Reduce reliance on deep technical expertise.
- Standardize response across IT and security.
With no-code integrations and platform-aware intelligence, Arlie removes guesswork and reinforces shared execution.
Secure by Design, Not by Accident
Commvault embeds security at the code level through Secure by Design principles. This approach is validated through initiatives such as and the adoption of post-quantum cryptographic capabilities that align to the new NIST standards.
These measures reduce compliance burden and support regulated industries. Additional certifications are available in the Commvault Trust Center.
