Commvault Enables Early Threat Detection and Zero Loss Strategy with Metallic ThreatWise

Metallic ThreatWise, an early warning system that proactively surfaces unknown and zero-day threats to reduce compromised data and business impact, has been made generally available by Commvault.

According to Enterprise Strategy Group, only 12 percent of IT directors surveyed expressed confidence in having the appropriate capabilities and location-agnostic protection to secure data equally across on-premises and cloud environments.

Commvault is further defining data security with ThreatWise, which gives an early warning that no other provider in this sector provides. It employs decoys to proactively draw bad actors into using fake resources, detect risks in production environments, and provide enterprises with data security tools. Commvault is now expanding its machine learning and critical threat detection and security capabilities to its larger platform, which is now available.

Jon Oltsik, Senior Principal Analyst and Fellow, Enterprise Strategy Group, said in a statement that the results of a survey of enterprise IT directors with direct knowledge and influence over their company’s data security strategy were eye-opening. Many IT departments clearly lack adequate technologies to detect ransomware assaults on production settings early enough in the attack chain to neutralize stealthy cyber-attacks before they do harm. For a long time, ransomware has centered on encryption, but newer extortion techniques such as exfiltration go beyond fast spreading malware, and data recovery alone cannot help if vital company data is exposed to the Dark Web.

Ranga Rajagopalan, Senior Vice President, Products, Commvault, said in a statement that data recovery is important, but alone it’s not enough. Just a few hours with an undetected bad actor in one’s system can be catastrophic. By integrating ThreatWise into the Metallic SaaS portfolio, they provide customers with a proactive, early warning system that bolsters their zero-loss strategy by intercepting a threat before it impacts the business.
