New discovery, reporting, recovery, and
rebuild capabilities can help customers bounce back following an
attack
LONDON, Oct. 8, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- COMMVAULT SHIFT -- Commvault, a leading
provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for the
hybrid cloud, today announced the availability of Cloud Rewind™ on
the Commvault Cloud platform. This unique offering, which
integrates cloud-native distributed application recovery and
rebuild capabilities from the Appranix acquisition, gives
cloud-first organizations a secret weapon to transform their cyber
resilience capabilities.
Today, when organizations are attacked, restoring the data is
only half the battle. The truly laborious task is actually
restoring the distributed cloud applications, which are used to run
and power that data.
Think of it like this: a typical enterprise organization may use
as many as 3711 cloud applications spanning various
services like finance, HR, and operations. After an attack,
organizations often can't resume "business-as-usual" operations
until many of those applications are rebuilt in a step-by-step,
systematic, time-consuming way. The majority of enterprises report
that it takes more than a week to return to normal operations,
according to Commvault's latest research. That's too long. But,
with Cloud Rewind, that's all changing.
Cloud Rewind offers a truly unique approach that transforms
and simplifies cloud cyber recoveries. It's designed to quickly
restore an organization's entire cloud application and data
environment – including all the necessary cloud infrastructure
configurations – in a highly automated way. By combining data
recovery – the sole focus of traditional data protection tools
– with cloud-native application and infrastructure rebuild
automation, Cloud Rewind helps customers get back to business
within minutes after a cloud services outage or ransomware attack,
akin to a "cloud time machine."
Advanced Cloud Rewind Capabilities
Cloud Rewind introduces an advanced set of unique capabilities
designed to help businesses bounce back from cyber incidents with
exceptional speed and efficiency.
- Reduce organizational risk with resource discovery:
automatically identifies and catalogs all cloud components in use,
offering full visibility into what assets need protection and
recovery. So that nothing critical is missed in the recovery
process, even in complex, multi-cloud environments.
- Reduce operational confusion and toil with app-centric
dependency mapping: analyzes and defines the intricate
relationships between various cloud components. This feature
accelerates the task of piecing these dependencies together after
an incident, making the rebuild process much faster. So, when a
system is restored, all connected resources and services are
aligned, with little to no human involvement.
- Keep security teams in-sync with drift analysis: helps
return restored systems to their correct state by identifying and
correcting any deviations (or "drifts") from the original
configuration. This proactive capability keeps tabs so that
restored systems are aligned with their secure and functional state
after an incident.
- Automated cyber recovery testing with Recovery-as-Code:
captures not only the data but also the full map of applications,
infrastructure, and networking configurations. This means that
systems can be restored with their complete operational blueprint
intact, reducing guesswork for a thorough recovery.
- Avoid wasting cloud resources with on-demand cloud
reconstruction: puts it all back together, helping customers
swiftly rebuild both the data environment and its supporting
infrastructure. This provides organizations with a secure and
operational cloud environment, ready for immediate use following a
disruption.
- Integrated application-centric cyber recovery and disaster
recovery: Cloud Rewind integrates with Commvault Cloud data
resilience capabilities to help organizations rapidly recover from
short-term failures to debilitating cyber-attacks with a few
clicks.
Cloud Rewind supports all major public and private cloud
platforms, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud
Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure, for true customer cloud
choice.
Cyber Resilience Dashboard
Complementing Commvault's cloud-native rebuild technology is its
new Cyber Resilience Dashboard. This dashboard provides continuous
ransomware readiness assessments that make it easy for
organizations to understand where they have gaps in their
resilience plans. It also delivers actionable insights to improve
resilience and recovery readiness. The dashboard provides a view
across the entire data estate, assessing components such as testing
frequency and success, and availability of immutable air-gapped
copies of critical data. Leveraging that information, organizations
receive a grade based on their readiness to recover and
recommendations on improving it.

on the market today. In the ransomware era, recovering data is
important, but it's table stakes," said Brian Brockway, CTO, Commvault. "We're ushering
in an entirely new chapter in cyber resilience that not only
expedites data recovery, but recovery of cloud applications. This
is the gold standard in recovery for a cloud-first world."
- "With Cloud Rewind, Commvault helps organizations quickly
recover in the case of a cybersecurity incident," said Melinda Marks, Practice Director, Cybersecurity,
Enterprise Strategy Group. "Its resource discovery, dependency
mapping, drift analysis, and automated cloud reconstruction
capabilities provide much-needed relief for teams to save them from
the intricate and time-consuming process of rebuilding their
applications. For enterprises managing hundreds of cloud services,
this is a huge advantage for minimizing downtime after a
breach."
