Commvault Enhances Threat Scan to Improve Clean Recovery After Cyberattacks
Commvault has expanded its Cloud Threat Scan capabilities with a layered detection approach designed to help organizations ensure data is free of malware before recovery. The update introduces multiple detection techniques to identify known and unknown threats within backup data. These include signature-based scanning as well as behavioral and anomaly-based analysis intended to detect more sophisticated or previously unseen attacks. Two complementary scanning models were also launched including Hyper Threat Hunting and Deep Inspection, to allow close collaboration across incident response and recovery.
The goal is to support “verified clean” recoveries, allowing organizations to restore data with greater confidence after a cyber incident. Identifying compromised data before restoration is a key challenge, particularly in ransomware scenarios where attackers may attempt to persist within backup environments. As ransomware attacks grow more complex, organizations are investing in tools that combine backup, detection and validation to reduce the risk of reinfection during recovery. Threat Scan is available globally and can be sold as a standalone offering as well as part of Commvault’s cyber resilience bundle.
