Detect and Contain Threats with Identity Resilience

Q: Why is identity resilience critical?

Identity systems like Active Directory and Entra ID control access to applications, data, and infrastructure. When they are compromised or unavailable, employees and customers can be locked out, halting operations. With most modern attacks targeting identity, resilience is critical to maintaining business continuity, minimizing downtime, and reducing impact.

Q: How does Commvault help detect and respond to identity threats?

Commvault regularly monitors identity systems for suspicious changes and activity. It provides real-time alerts, detailed audit trails, and the ability to quickly roll back unauthorized changes, helping teams contain threats before they spread.

Q: What key Identity Resilience capabilities does Commvault deliver?

Commvault is designed to deliver a comprehensive approach to identity resilience, empowering organizations to proactively assess risk, detect and contain threats in real time, and recover their identity environments with confidence. From automated vulnerability assessments and instant rollback of malicious changes, to orchestrated recovery and unified management across hybrid environments, Commvault puts organizations in control of their most critical identity systems.

Q: Can Commvault help recover an Active Directory forest?

Commvault allows you to automate the full forest recovery process – following the Microsoft recommended approach – including critical hygiene tasks such as seizing FSMO roles and adjusting the RID pool, helping reduce the risk of human error and enabling you to recover in a fraction of the time.

Q: Can Commvault recover specific identity objects without restoring everything?

Commvault enables granular recovery of users, groups, policies, and even individual attributes, allowing you to recover malicious or accidental changes without disrupting the entire environment.

Identity Resilience

Identity resilience is the ability to protect, detect, and recover identity infrastructure to maintain guarded, trusted access control, even during cyberattacks. Commvault enables this by providing the capabilities needed to proactively assess risk, detect and contain threats in real time, and rapidly recover identity systems to a clean, trusted state with confidence.

What challenges do organizations face with identity resilience?

Identity is the new perimeter, and it’s under constant attack.

Identity is the top attack vector

Adversaries target identity to gain a foothold and expand control.
Once inside, they can move laterally, escalate privileges, disable recovery mechanisms, and drive widespread disruption.

Complexity expands risk

The rapid growth of identities in hybrid and multi-cloud environments, combined with privileged misconfigurations and fragmented toolsets, creates complexity that reduces visibility and increases attack exposure.

AI is accelerating attacks

Attackers are leveraging AI to automate and scale their efforts – escalating privileges and moving laterally faster. Detection, containment, and recovery windows are shrinking rapidly.

Recovery is complex and manual

Traditional recovery methods are manual, complex, and error-prone, slowing restoration and increasing the risk of reinfection after an attack.

How Commvault Helps You Build Identity Resilience

End-to-end identity resilience

Protect and recover your identity infrastructure with a comprehensive identity resilience solution designed to help organizations maintain trusted access control — even when identity systems are targeted, compromised, or unavailable.

Reduce identity risk

Identify misconfigurations in your environment that can enable attacks, before they happen.

Detect and stop threats fast

Commvault Cloud helps monitor identity changes, detect malicious activity in real time, and threats before they can spread across your environment.

Recover to a trusted state

Rapidly restore clean, trusted identity states after an outage or attack with automated, orchestrated recovery workflows that help minimize downtime and prevent reinfection.

Unified Identity Resilience

Protect identities across Active Directory, Entra ID, and Okta from a single, unified platform

Key capabilities

Comprehensive identity protection and recovery features designed for today’s threat landscape

Vulnerability Assessments

Regularly scan AD to uncover misconfigurations and exploitable exposures before threats do.

Immutable identity backups

Identity backups are designed to protect tamper resistant storage that cannot be modified or deleted by compromised credentials.

Real-time auditing and anomaly detection

Surface suspicious or unauthorized identity changes, quickly pinpoint compromise, and revert to a known clean state.
