TL;DR

  • Traditional recovery testing is disruptive, manual, and expensive; Commvault Cleanroom Recovery automates the entire process with isolated, repeatable workflows that don't impact production systems.
  • The Cleanroom Dashboard provides comprehensive visibility into cyber readiness, proactively surfacing assets that require attention such as missing air gap copies or configuration gaps, with exportable reports for compliance.
  • Assemblies enable flexible grouping of VMs, databases, and Active Directory forests with rule-based automation that keeps recovery plans current as environments evolve, eliminating manual mapping overhead.
  • Visual runbooks orchestrate complete testing and forensic workflows with integrated threat scanning, customizable steps, manual approval checkpoints, and real-time monitoring throughout execution.
  • Ephemeral cleanrooms deployed on-demand in Azure or AWS provide isolated environments for safe testing and forensic analysis, with automated teardown ensuring cost control by only paying for resources during active use.

Cleanroom Dashboard and Recovery Readiness Visibility

The demonstration opens with the Cleanroom Recovery dashboard, which provides comprehensive at-a-glance visibility into cyber readiness across the entire protected environment. The dashboard surfaces which assets are cleanroom-ready, recently tested, or require attention due to missing air gap backup copies or configuration gaps. This centralized view eliminates the need to sift through spreadsheets or manual logs, proactively surfacing vulnerabilities before they become incidents. Exportable reports and audit trails support compliance requirements by demonstrating preparedness to regulators, auditors, and executive stakeholders. The dashboard transforms fragmented data into a clear, actionable roadmap for enhancing resilience and audit readiness.

Building Recovery Plans with Assemblies and Runbooks

The walkthrough demonstrates how assemblies enable flexible grouping of critical assets based on business units, applications, or recovery tiers. The step-by-step assembly wizard guides users through the process of adding virtual machines, databases, and Active Directory forests, with options to select resources manually using filters or define rules that automatically include new assets as they're provisioned. This automation ensures recovery plans remain current as environments evolve. Visual runbooks then map the complete testing and recovery workflow, from cleanroom deployment through application validation. Users can create different runbooks for testing, forensics, or application-specific validations, add threat scan steps to automatically detect malware or ransomware, and customize every step including adding custom scripts, pausing for manual validation, or reordering steps to fit organizational needs.

Isolated Testing and Forensic Analysis in Ephemeral Cleanrooms

The demonstration shows how cleanrooms are deployed on-demand in Azure or AWS using either express configuration or custom policies for organizations with specific security requirements. These cleanrooms are fully isolated from production environments, enabling safe testing and validation without disrupting operations or risking data integrity. Real-time progress monitoring provides clear status indicators and logs during runbook execution, with manual checkpoints available for approval steps at critical moments. The ephemeral nature of cleanrooms means they're built on demand when executing a runbook and automatically torn down when testing or forensics are complete, providing cost control by ensuring organizations only pay for resources while in use. This approach supports secure forensic analysis without the need for costly dedicated infrastructure while reducing the risk of cross-contamination or accidental data exposure.

Key Quotes

0:03 "Regulators, boards, and customers don't just want to know you have a recovery plan. They want proof it actually works when it matters most."
0:41 "Commvault Cleanroom Recovery is purpose-built to solve these problems. It enables you to test, validate, and automate your cyber recovery and forensic workflows without the cost, risk, or operational burden of traditional approaches."
3:38 "As your environment evolves, rules can be set to include new resources automatically, helping keep your recovery plan up to date."
6:40 "Our integrated threat detection enables you to identify which snapshots are clean and safe to use. Thanks to built-in threat scanning. Providing the confidence needed to restore safely."
7:42 "This entire clean room is truly ephemeral. It's built on demand when you execute the runbook. And it's completely isolated from your production environment."
