What challenges do customers experience in complex environments?

Hybrid spawl raises cyber risk

Fragmented data protection strategies rely on multiple tools, creating gaps and risk as organizations secure diverse workloads across cloud-native, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments.


Ransomware demands clean rebuild

Backups are targeted. Clean recovery has to be fast, verified, and secure—because ransomware attacks surged 126% YoY in Q1 2025 (avg 1,925 weekly).


Regulatory requirements are intensifying

Many regulations mandate disclosure of cybersecurity incidents within strict timeframes, with significant financial penalties for organizations that fail to comply. [Source HIPAA, GDPR}


Hybrid Workloads Demand Centralized Backup

Hybrid environments require workload-aware backup that centralizes protection across on-prem and cloud, reducing duplication and helping establish consistent data management across primary and secondary sites.

Unified AI-enabled resilience for modern enterprises

Unify protection. Reduce risk.

Discover and unify hybrid workloads under one secure control plane, with visibility, cost control, and recoveries that minimize downtime after disruption.


Unify tools across hybrid

Replace tool sprawl with a unified policy engine that governs protection across cloud-native, multi-cloud, on-premises, and edge workloads with consistent security controls.


Clean recovery after attacks

Strengthen cyber recovery with protected copies, snapshots, and cross region and cloud copies to rebuild fast and minimize downtime.


Govern with real visibility

Gain visibility into protected status and costs using AI-enabled cloud data discovery and TCO analysis—then govern policies across accounts, regions, and clouds.

 

Key Capabilities

Unify protection across your environments

Discover, govern, and unify protection across cloud-native, hybrid, and on-prem workloads—strengthening security, visibility, and cost control while you rebuild fast.

01 Unified policy and UX

Centralized policy engine unifies controls across environments, tightening security posture while improving visibility and simplifying governance at enterprise scale.

02 Multi-workload coverage at scale

Protect cloud-native and hybrid estates: AWS RDS, DynamoDB, Azure SQL; Azure Blob, AWS S3; AWS EC2, Azure VM; AKS, EKS, K8s.

03 Discovery plus TCO analysis

Discover and classify resources, assess protected status, and use TCO analysis to improve cost control while aligning protection to risk and recovery goals.

04 Protected copies and snapshots

Use flexible protection levels, including cloud snapshots and protected copies, to defend recovery points from corruption and support clean recovery workflows.

05 Cross region and cloud copies

Cross region and cross-cloud copies strengthen resilience and support compliance requirements for multi-geo operations.

06 Cloud configuration backup workflows

Backup and restore cloud configurations by assembling resources into recovery workflows, helping teams rebuild key services after a cyber incident

Frequently Asked Questions

What workloads are protected?

Commvault Cloud Threat Detection and Response covers the workloads you protect with Commvault—virtual machines, files, and cloud files/objects—across hybrid environments. It’s designed for enterprise-scale recovery confidently, with threat hunting and incident response built into cyber resilience.

How is this different?

Endpoint/XDR and native cloud tools focus on live telemetry. Commvault adds security insight inside protected backup data, plus Cleanpoint Identification and synthetic recovery. That closes the gap between detection, investigation, and recovering cleanly at massive scale.

How is clean recovery chosen?

Cleanpoint Identification and Cleanpoint Validation pinpoint when data shifts from good to compromised. Synthetic recovery then assembles a composite recovery point across files, VMs, workloads, and times—minimizing data reversion while keeping risk quarantined.

How do quarantine and forensics work?

Suspicious files are automatically quarantined to prevent reinfection. Infected versions remain preserved in protected backups for forensic investigation and incident response, while clean last-known-good versions are recovered to restore operations without reintroducing attacker artifacts.

What about compliance and access?

Security-forward governance with access controls and audit-ready logging, supporting regulated environments. Unified policy helps apply consistent retention, access, and recovery controls across hybrid workloads. Identity signals and change monitoring add incident context, while recovery actions remain traceable – teams can prove what happened, who acted, and what was recovered.
