Strengthening data access security with CyberArk

Through Commvault’s multi-layered approach to data security and Intelligent Data Services platform, organizations can better manage ransomware risk and ensure their data is ready for business growth. 


Every organization today is concerned about security and the inevitability of a ransomware attack. 64% of surveyed CISOs feel at risk of suffering a material cyber-attack in the next 12 months. With multi-generational data sprawl that increases the attack surface, recovering from a malicious attack in a consistent fashion becomes increasingly difficult.

Through Commvault’s multi-layered approach to data security and Intelligent Data Services platform, organizations can better manage ransomware risk and ensure their data is ready for business growth.  Commvault’s deep interoperability with applications, databases, cloud, virtual, and container platforms ensures that a great variety of workloads are protected (hence the Commvault mantra of “Never leave a workload behind”).   This interoperability does require special privileged credentials, and that’s why Commvault and CyberArk are combining to help organizations keep their data safe and recoverable from any threat.

O desafio de gerenciar credenciais privilegiadas

O gerenciamento de credenciais privilegiadas é um grande desafio para as organizações e, quando mal conduzido, pode levar à exploração de contas para fins maliciosos, como exfiltração de dados, perda de dados e corrupção de dados.

Ransomware is especially notorious for relying on exploited credentials to spread and propagate within an environment. This puts production data as well as backup data at risk. Aggressive rotation policies provide a better level of security; however, there is greater risk of breaking interoperability within applications that rely on those credentials. 

Protegendo o caminho privilegiado

Juntas, a Commvault e a CyberArk estão ajudando as organizações a enfrentar de frente esse problema de segurança cada vez maior.

Global Identity Security leader CyberArk pioneered privileged access management (PAM), a critical layer of IT security to protect data, infrastructure, and assets across the enterprise, in the cloud and throughout the DevOps pipeline. As attackers increasingly seek to exploit privileged credentials and elevated access to compromise high-value data, CyberArk has been at the forefront of protecting organizations and their most sensitive assets.  The company is trusted by the world’s leading organizations, including more than 50 percent of the Fortune 500.

With Commvault and CyberArk, organizations can reduce the risk of privileged account compromise by centrally managing credentials and enforcing strict password retention and rotation policies without affecting interoperability within the Commvault platform. CyberArk’s privileged session management plugins support any application account used within Commvault as well as any local admin accounts.

Gerenciamento de sessões privilegiadas para uma administração segura

CyberArk também integrou seus recursos de gerenciamento de sessões privilegiadas com a Commvault. Isso proporciona acesso administrativo seguro à interface de gerenciamento da Commvault sem nunca expor as credenciais administrativas. Isso pode ser entendido como uma sessão de login sem senha que isola os usuários finais do acesso direto aos sistemas de destino, além de monitorar e registrar as atividades que ocorrem dentro da sessão privilegiada. As equipes de SecOP podem gerenciar as credenciais administrativas locais da Commvault, o que lhes permite implementar requisitos mais rigorosos de complexidade de senha e fornecer acesso administrativo à Commvault sem nunca expor as senhas ao usuário final.

RTO e RPO aprimorados

Com essas integrações essenciais da CyberArk, as equipes de #SecOps agora têm controle total para aplicar as políticas necessárias para manter a organização segura e em conformidade, sem qualquer impacto nas operações da Commvault. Isso melhora significativamente os objetivos de ponto e tempo de recuperação na Commvault, ao mesmo tempo em que aprimora a postura de segurança da organização.

These CyberArk plugins are available in the CyberArk Marketplace for CyberArk customers.  They are supported on Commvault 11.19+ and above platforms. To download the plugins, head over to the CyberArk Marketplace.
