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.
