How does Arlie Recover balance automation with human control during recovery?

Arlie Recover automates workflow generation, alert correlation, and logging while requiring operator confirmation at critical decision points. This approach maintains safety and accountability while accelerating response time and reducing manual errors during high-pressure incidents.

What happens to backup data during an active ransomware investigation?

Arlie Recover's first automated step disables data aging policies to prevent backup snapshots from being deleted or aged out during the investigation and recovery process, ensuring clean restore points remain available throughout the incident response.

TL;DR

Arlie Recover automatically ingests Splunk ransomware alerts and generates ready-to-run, asset-specific recovery plans, eliminating manual handoffs and reducing response time during critical incidents.
The system guides operators through five structured recovery stages with automated logging, ensuring consistent, safe, and fully auditable actions that balance automation with human decision-making.
Cleanroom validation and recommended restore points help prevent reinfection by allowing teams to inspect data before production recovery, while maintaining complete traceability back to the original threat detection event.

Summary

This demonstration showcases Commvault's Arlie Recover agent, which transforms ransomware response from chaotic manual processes into guided, automated workflows. The demo walks through a realistic scenario where a Splunk alert detecting suspicious encryption activity on a virtual machine automatically triggers Arlie Recover's structured recovery process. The system ingests the threat detection alert, correlates it with backup intelligence in Commvault's threat detection dashboard, and automatically generates a ready-to-run recovery plan tailored to the affected asset. The workflow guides operators through five clear stages: disabling data aging to protect backup retention, selecting validated clean restore points, isolating data in a cleanroom environment for inspection, adding validation tools, and completing recovery with full documentation. Every action is logged and linked back to the original Splunk event, creating a complete audit trail. The approach balances automation with human oversight, reducing response time and human error while maintaining safety and compliance requirements during high-stress cyber incidents.

Key Quotes

1:11 "That alert has been automatically ingested and correlated within Commvault's threat detection dashboard, alongside anomaly data and backup intelligence, providing a single actionable view for initiating a response."
1:35 "RLE Recover automatically generates it when the Splunk alert is correlated, linking the detection directly to the asset and pre-building the appropriate recovery workflow."
2:08 "Instead of making you improvise, RLE Recover offers a guided path that's safe, consistent, and fully auditable."
