Metallic Security IQ offers cyber readiness & data protection at cloud

Metallic Security IQ is a new product from Commvault. Security IQ is a single security dashboard that provides clients with immediate and meaningful insights on threats affecting their data landscape and data backup security posture in their Metallic cloud environments. It is available as an optional feature across the whole Metallic range.

 “Organizations are demanding that their IT teams not only manage, protect, and govern data, but that they also deliver data security insights that help the organization’s overall security posture and recovery readiness. As a result, IT operations teams are being asked to provide more insights to security operations teams at an urgent pace,” said Manoj Nair, General Manager, Metallic.

He added, “It’s the sad truth that too many companies hit by ransomware aren’t prepared. With our multi-layered approach to ransomware protection and secure separation of data from customers’ own environments, we help Metallic users to identify threats further as early as possible so they can recover quickly, minimizing their data loss risk.” 

Cyberattacks, ransomware, and other new and sophisticated threats make it difficult for IT managers in charge of data security to meet internal security regulations. With all of the new risks that malicious actors are developing, no tool can guarantee security. On the other hand, metallic clients gain straightforward tools and superior insights to strengthen their data backup and recovery posture across cloud apps, SaaS applications, endpoints, and hybrid cloud workloads with Security IQ.

IT professionals and administrators may use the Security IQ dashboard to discover risks and vulnerabilities in real-time and reduce their exposure to cyberthreats with zero-trust controls at scale, and make more informed data recovery decisions – from one central location.

“We know that in the face of the rising threat of cyberattack, data backup and recovery is often an organization’s last line of defense and a critical part of any end-to-end security strategy. That’s why we partnered with Commvault to provide the most comprehensive set of cloud-based threat detection and response managed services in the form of Data Preserve powered by Metallic,” said Héctor Guillermo Martínez President, GMSectec.

 “The introduction of Security IQ, along with Data Preserve powered by Metallic, allows us to further expand our world-class managed security services capabilities and help our customers strengthen their data security posture, risk identification, faster response to threats.”

It’s not only ransomware, either. Cybercrime and threats, in general, are on the rise across the globe, making data security a primary priority for businesses and government bodies. In conjunction with Metallic’s zero-trust, enterprise-grade security approach, Security IQ gives companies of all sizes enhanced tools to safeguard data, detect threats, and recover from attacks, reducing risks and ensuring business continuity across their entire data estate.
