How Commvault Delivers Complete Cyber Resilience

Cyber resilience helps an organization anticipate, withstand, and recover from cyberattacks without losing access to critical data or systems. Commvault Cloud enables cyber resilience through AI-enabled threat detection, immutable air-gapped backups, an on-demand and isolated Cleanroom for isolated staging, and Cleanpoint Identification to validate clean recovery before production restoration.

  • 15x Leader in Gartner Magic Quadrant

  • SOC 2, ISO, FedRAMP Certified

When Trust Disappears

Why do Cyberattacks Break Recovery Confidence?

When attackers hit, backups and identity can be compromised. Teams need cyber recovery capabilities that prove data is clean before bringing business back online.


Corrupt Restores Reinfect Fast

Restoring fast means nothing if you restore the infection. Without clean recovery validation, teams chase last known good for days and lose data.


Identity Failure Freezes Operations

If Active Directory or Entra ID is compromised, access to every system stalls. Cyber recovery must rebuild identity and restore trusted access first.

Turn chaos into control

Recover data with confidence

Commvault Cloud unifies cyber recovery with AI, air-gapped protection, clean recovery validation, and automated cleanroom workflows to restore operations confidently.


Backups stay protected

Air Gap Protect creates air-gapped, immutable, indelible backups—kept separate from production—so cyber recovery isn’t derailed when attackers target backups.


Proven clean recovery

AI-enabled threat detection and hunting scans backups and restores, uses YARA/hash, identifies clean recovery points, and builds AI-assisted Synthetic Recovery to reduce rollback.


Restore identity, regain access

Identity Protection restores Active Directory or Entra ID granularly or full forest, audits changes, rolls back privilege escalation, and stages clean recovery in Cleanroom Recovery.

Key Capabilities for Cyber Resilience

Built for the attack

Protect, validate, and restore trusted data with air-gapped backups, an on-demand, isolated Cleanroom for recovery testing, identity restoration, and AI-driven clean recovery automation.

01 AI Threat Detection & Hunting

Quickly identify threats in protected data and VMs, quarantine affected assets, and enable hunting via threat feeds, custom YARA rules, or file hashes.

02 Cleanroom for Confidence

Spin up an on-demand isolated environment for cyber recovery testing, forensics, and recovery staging—automated with runbooks and pre-built configurations.

03 AirGap Backups

Keep an off-site, air-gapped, immutable, indelible copy of data — separate from production — to ensure cyber recovery stays possible when backups are targeted.

04 Cleanpoint identification + Synthetic Recovery

Identify clean data across backups, then use malware and encryption detection to assemble a curated composite recovery point that reduces rollback and accelerates clean recovery.

05 Security Integrations with SOAR Tools

Use threat signals from your security stack to drive security-aware clean recovery, and orchestrate response with SOAR platforms like Microsoft Sentinel, XSOAR, and Falcon Fusion.

06 Identity Protection and Recovery

Recover your identity provider with granular or full forest restore, audit attacker changes and privilege escalation, and restore trusted access to restart operations faster.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you stop reinfection during recoveries?

Commvault Cloud uses AI-enabled threat detection and hunting — scanning backups and VMs with using threat intel feeds, YARA rules, and file hashes — to quarantine infected assets. Teams then restore only Cleanpoint-validated recovery points, preventing malware artifacts from reinfecting production systems during restoration.

What makes recovery points clean?

Cleanpoint identification finds clean data across backups. If corruption exists, AI-enabled Synthetic Recovery builds a curated composite recovery point by assembling the most recent clean versions of files across time into one clean recovery—reducing rollback and data loss.

Why use a cleanroom environment?

Commvault Cleanroom provides an isolated, on-demand environment for recovery staging, validation, and cyber forensics without touching production. Use automated cleanroom creation, pre-built configurations, and runbooks to standardize cyber recovery steps and accelerate predictable recovery to production.

How are backups protected?

Commvault AirGap keeps an off-site, air-gapped, immutable, indelible copy of your data stored separately from production. This limits attacker access to backup infrastructure and gives your team a trusted foundation for cyber recovery when ransomware targets backup systems.

Will it fit our SOC?

Commvault Cloud integrates with your security stack to use threat signals in security-aware recovery. It also integrates with SOAR platforms like Microsoft Sentinel, Palo Alto Networks XSOAR, and CrowdStrike Falcon Fusion to automate incident response steps and orchestrate clean recovery at scale.
