Enhancing Cyber Resilience with the Commvault Cloud Unity Platform

The Need for Advanced Cyber Resilience

As the digital landscape continues to evolve, the urgency for a robust cyber resilience strategy has never been more pressing. By 2025, global cybercrime costs are expected to skyrocket to $10.5 trillion annually, with a staggering 78% of organizations experiencing ransomware attacks within the past year. The World Economic Forum’s Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2025 highlights increasing cyber risks, particularly in the Middle East, where 42% of companies report incidents related to ransomware or phishing. As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integrated into business operations, it not only amplifies data creation but also adds layers of complexity to security protocols.

Transforming the Approach to Cybersecurity

Recognizing these escalating threats, Commvault has reimagined its approach to cyber protection through the Commvault Cloud Unity platform. This innovative platform consolidates data security, identity protection, and AI-driven recovery into a comprehensive system. Unlike traditional, siloed security methods, the Cloud Unity platform centralizes resilience operations across various environments—cloud, on-premises, and edge—offering a modern experience for businesses.

Key Features of Commvault Cloud Unity

Commvault Cloud Unity integrates three main capabilities:

• Integrated Data Security: Safeguards data, access permissions, and identity management to ensure comprehensive protection.

• Identity Resilience: Tackles the complexities brought by an increasing number of AI-driven identities, safeguarding sensitive privileges.

• Cyber Recovery: Facilitates efficient restoration processes, enabling businesses to recover data with confidence amid advanced cyber threats.

These integrated functionalities create a foundation for Resilience Operations (ResOps), where protection, detection, and recovery operate in a seamless and intelligent manner. This holistic approach enhances enterprise resilience, facilitating uninterrupted operations even in a rapidly evolving threat landscape.

Addressing Fragmentation in Multi-Cloud Environments

The rapid adoption of cloud technology and AI has led to significant fragmentation across enterprise data systems. According to recent studies, while 86% of organizations are now using multi-cloud environments, almost half of cloud expenditures are lost due to inadequate visibility.

Commvault’s Cloud Unity platform addresses this fragmentation by offering a single, unified view of the data landscape. This solution provides cloud teams with immediate insight into which data is secure and what vulnerabilities exist. It’s particularly important in an era where vast amounts of data are generated, making consolidated visibility essential for effective protection strategies.

Protecting Diverse Workloads

The Commvault Cloud platform enables protection for both conventional workloads and modern AI workloads, including BigQuery, Redshift, and Apache Iceberg on AWS, all within a single user interface. With integrated security measures like immutable storage and advanced threat scans, the platform not only safeguards data but also simplifies recovery processes.

Leveraging AI for Enhanced Resilience

AI not only plays a pivotal role in driving data growth but also escalates the complexity of security threats. Organizations must adapt to a landscape where numerous autonomous agents are making decisions with minimal oversight.

Commvault’s unified approach is designed to meet this challenge by continuously securing data at its source and monitoring for anomalies. Notably, the platform enhances its own functionality through features like Arlie, which boosts user experience and operational efficiency.

Moreover, the integration of Satori Cyber into the Commvault Cloud enriches visibility into data flows and AI interactions, ensuring compliance with governance and security frameworks.

Innovative Recovery Techniques: Synthetic Recovery and Cleanroom Recovery

Among the many advancements in the Commvault Cloud Unity is Synthetic Recovery, which utilizes AI-driven processes to identify and remove compromised data during recovery, ensuring only safe information is restored. This significantly mitigates data loss and instills confidence in the recovery process.

Cleanroom Recovery further enhances this capability by allowing automated testing and validation of recovery processes, ensuring that restored data meets production standards before it goes live.

Strengthening Identity Systems Against Cyber Threats

Identity management systems, particularly Active Directory, have become major targets for cybercriminals. As these systems are integral to controlling access across networks, the risk of attack is heightened—reports suggest that nine out of ten attacks target identity services in some capacity.

Commvault’s Identity Resilience capabilities aim to preempt such threats by providing comprehensive visibility, real-time monitoring, and instant rollback options in the face of suspicious changes. This proactive approach helps ensure organizations can recover effectively from identity-related attacks without disrupting crucial operations.

Simplifying Management Across Multi-Cloud Infrastructures

The Commvault Cloud platform simplifies operations across various environments—whether on-premises, cloud, or SaaS—providing a cohesive platform for resilience management. By integrating data security, identity protection, and cyber recovery, the platform removes the complexity associated with legacy, fragmented systems.

This consolidation not only enhances operational efficiency, making it easier for teams to enforce consistent security policies, but also empowers organizations to make informed decisions regarding their resilience strategies.

By centralizing these capabilities within a single platform, Commvault Cloud Unity provides an essential tool for organizations aiming to thrive in an increasingly complex and data-driven world.
