Commvault designs new ransomware protection for its data security solutions

Commvault designed new ransomware protection to its data security solutions and these services to help businesses prepare for, protect against, and respond to today’s rising cyber threats.

Ransomware assaults are on the rise, and they’re expensive: on average, restoring data costs ten times the ransom payment. 70% of ransomware attacks include the danger of leaking exfiltrated data, and victims face an average of 21 days of disruption after the attack2. Ransomware has exorbitant hard costs; most businesses are unprepared to respond to an assault, and even fewer are planning ahead of time.

Commvault is a trusted partner to its global customers in data protection and recovery for all types of risk vectors. The new ransomware protection and recovery services are based on Commvault’s expertise and knowledge of data management design, planning, and recovery. Ransomware is the latest persistent threat facing our customers, and the new ransomware protection and recovery services are based on Commvault’s expertise and knowledge of data management design, planning, and recovery.

Commvault Ransomware Protection and Response Services provide customers with the tools and experience they need to harden their Commvault systems against an attack, monitor the condition of their data protection solution over time, and assist them in recovering vital data if an attack occurs.

Customers can use the Ransomware Protection Design and Plan service to validate their continuous threats and attacks readiness. The service will assist firms in identifying potential dangers and risks that may affect their ability to be prepared. It includes a readiness scorecard, significant findings, and suggestions, as well as a prioritized action plan.

The Commvault Ransomware Response Service provides the skills and resources needed to recover after a ransomware attack. Commvault provides a Ransomware Recovery Incident Manager as part of the service, who is supported by the Commvault Recovery Operations team.

These services complement Commvault’s Ransomware Protect and Recover solutions, which provide key ransomware data protection capabilities. As a major component of the Commvault Intelligent Data Services, this new service offering, together with Commvault software and cloud capabilities, allows a company to identify, prevent, and recover from ransomware attacks and other data breaches. This data security solution works in tandem with Commvault Data Management and Protection products and Compliance and Governance solutions.

 “Ransomware is growing exponentially as both a global problem and an addressable threat,” said Ram Menashe, Vice President of Global Services at Commvault.

Also added, “While we cannot guarantee our customers won’t be the target of an attack, we believe that by offering strategic protection plans, we can support customers at any stage of a ransomware attack—and do our best to help prevent it altogether with Commvault Protection Review. These services represent our commitment to keeping our customers’ data safe and recoverable while continuing to provide innovative, industry-leading products.”
