Commvault Extends AI Ability to Ensure Cyber Resilience
None
<p>Commvault today <a href="https://ir.commvault.com/news-releases/news-release-details/commvault-unveils-new-era-enterprise-resilience-commvault-cloud">extended the reach and scope of its data protection portfolio</a> as part of an effort to enable IT organizations to achieve and maintain resiliency.</p><p>Announced at its <a href="https://www.commvault.com/shift-virtual?">SHIFT 2025</a> event, these additions are part of a Commvault Cloud Unity platform that now makes it simpler to backup and recover workloads running in multiple cloud computing environments, including instances of Kubernetes clusters, across more than 200 cloud services running in regions around the world. Additionally, Commvault has developed artificial intelligence (AI) tools that automatically discover cloud workloads and recommend policies to apply based on classification.</p><div class="code-block code-block-13" style="margin: 8px 0; clear: both;"> <style> .ai-rotate {position: relative;} .ai-rotate-hidden {visibility: hidden;} .ai-rotate-hidden-2 {position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;} .ai-list-data, .ai-ip-data, .ai-filter-check, .ai-fallback, .ai-list-block, .ai-list-block-ip, .ai-list-block-filter {visibility: hidden; position: absolute; width: 50%; height: 1px; top: -1000px; z-index: -9999; margin: 0px!important;} .ai-list-data, .ai-ip-data, .ai-filter-check, .ai-fallback {min-width: 1px;} </style> <div class="ai-rotate ai-unprocessed ai-timed-rotation ai-13-1" data-info="WyIxMy0xIiwxXQ==" style="position: relative;"> <div class="ai-rotate-option" style="visibility: hidden;" data-index="1" data-name="U2hvcnQ=" data-time="MTA="> <div class="custom-ad"> <div style="margin: auto; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.techstrongevents.com/cruisecon-virtual-west-2025/home?ref=in-article-ad-2&utm_source=sb&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=in-article-ad-2" target="_blank"><img src="https://securityboulevard.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Banner-770x330-social-1.png" alt="Cruise Con 2025"></a></div> <div class="clear-custom-ad"></div> </div></div> </div> </div><p>Commvault also announced it is making available, via an early access program, updated threat scanning tools that make use of artificial intelligence (AI) to identify, analyze and quarantine suspicious files, detect newly encrypted files, and search for new or specific Indicators of Compromise (IoCs).</p><p><a href="https://securityboulevard.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Threat-Detection-Dashboard.png"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-2075897" src="https://securityboulevard.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Threat-Detection-Dashboard-278x300.png" alt="" width="352" height="380" srcset="https://securityboulevard.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Threat-Detection-Dashboard-278x300.png 278w, https://securityboulevard.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Threat-Detection-Dashboard-948x1024.png 948w, https://securityboulevard.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Threat-Detection-Dashboard-768x829.png 768w, https://securityboulevard.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Threat-Detection-Dashboard-1423x1536.png 1423w, https://securityboulevard.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Threat-Detection-Dashboard.png 1680w" sizes="(max-width: 352px) 100vw, 352px"></a></p><p>A Synthetic Recovery capability also now makes it possible to leverage AI to automatically detect threats and surgically remove them during recovery to ensure that files that have been infected with malware are not restored in a production environment.</p><p>Commvault has also extended its Cleanroom Recovery service to make it possible for IT teams to automatically execute runbooks to recover data faster and, via an early access program, has extended its existing recovery service for Microsoft Active Directory to automatically log and audit malicious changes, and then rapidly roll back changes to a trusted, clean state.</p><p>Brian Brockway, vice president and global CTO for Commvault, said the company plans to make all of these capabilities generally available next year as part of an effort to enable IT teams to consistently manage backup and recovery workflows across multiple platforms. Ultimately, the company will provide feature compatibility across both the software-as-a-service (SaaS) editions of its platforms and any on-premises edition, he noted.</p><p>Ultimately, it will become simpler to achieve that goal using conversational interfaces enabled by AI, added Brockway. In the meantime, however, IT and cybersecurity teams need to be able to protect workloads anywhere they happen to be running, he added.</p><p>It’s not clear to what level organizations are achieving cyber resiliency, but if history is any guide, most are not as prepared to withstand, for example, a ransomware attack as they would like. In general, organizations are better able to recover data but it still requires a significant amount of time and effort. The issue then becomes how long can applications be unavailable before downtime costs start to exceed the ransom being demanded.</p><p>In the meantime, cybersecurity teams should assume that adversaries will be making greater use of AI to scan their defenses. In fact, the cost of launching malware attacks is only going to continue to decrease as cybercriminal syndicates continue to develop more sophisticated tactics that they can target more effectively. No one can prevent those attacks from being launched but the one thing that organizations can control is how quickly they can recover to minimize the scope of the impact.</p><div class="spu-placeholder" style="display:none"></div><div class="addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content addtoany_content_bottom"><div class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_20 addtoany_list" data-a2a-url="https://securityboulevard.com/2025/11/commvault-extends-ai-ability-to-ensure-cyber-resilience/" data-a2a-title="Commvault Extends AI Ability to Ensure Cyber Resilience"><a class="a2a_button_twitter" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/twitter?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsecurityboulevard.com%2F2025%2F11%2Fcommvault-extends-ai-ability-to-ensure-cyber-resilience%2F&linkname=Commvault%20Extends%20AI%20Ability%20to%20Ensure%20Cyber%20Resilience" title="Twitter" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_linkedin" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/linkedin?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsecurityboulevard.com%2F2025%2F11%2Fcommvault-extends-ai-ability-to-ensure-cyber-resilience%2F&linkname=Commvault%20Extends%20AI%20Ability%20to%20Ensure%20Cyber%20Resilience" title="LinkedIn" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_facebook" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsecurityboulevard.com%2F2025%2F11%2Fcommvault-extends-ai-ability-to-ensure-cyber-resilience%2F&linkname=Commvault%20Extends%20AI%20Ability%20to%20Ensure%20Cyber%20Resilience" title="Facebook" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_reddit" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/reddit?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsecurityboulevard.com%2F2025%2F11%2Fcommvault-extends-ai-ability-to-ensure-cyber-resilience%2F&linkname=Commvault%20Extends%20AI%20Ability%20to%20Ensure%20Cyber%20Resilience" title="Reddit" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_email" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/email?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsecurityboulevard.com%2F2025%2F11%2Fcommvault-extends-ai-ability-to-ensure-cyber-resilience%2F&linkname=Commvault%20Extends%20AI%20Ability%20to%20Ensure%20Cyber%20Resilience" title="Email" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_dd addtoany_share_save addtoany_share" href="https://www.addtoany.com/share"></a></div></div>
