regulatory scrutiny is intensifying, and the cost of downtime can be catastrophic. What if you could not only detect threats faster, but also simplify a rapid clean recovery? In this short demo, you'll discover how Commvault's capabilities work together to simplify your response, reduce risk, and enable your organization to recover quickly and safely from an attack with minimal rollback. Let's start with our Threat Detection Dashboard, your central hub for monitoring the overall health. Instantly see a unified view of your systems with prioritized risk levels. You know exactly where to focus. You'll see a high-level overview of events gathered from our advanced multi-layered threat detection capabilities. Event correlation and risk scoring help you spot what needs your attention most. Critical risks flag, confirmed malware, or active attacks. High and medium risks highlight suspicious activity correlated across multiple signals and third-party integrations. Drilling into a critical alert. With one click, you can view the full context, including impacted resources, risk status, and real-time signals from third-party integrations. Let's investigate a critical resource. You'll see all impacted resources, which you can filter by risk status or resource type. Hovering over anomalies, you can gain more insight and see signals from third-party integrations, providing a comprehensive picture of the threats you're facing, unlike other vendors who leave you to determine what to do and where to do it. What makes our approach unique is that you can take action directly from here. You can mark a resource as safe, quarantine it, or disable data aging to preserve backups for forensics. You can also run on-demand scans with our powerful Hunt for Threats feature. But what if you're not a threat-hunting expert? That's where Arli comes in. Arli is your AI-powered data security ally. It distills complex threat data into clear, actionable insights. In seconds, you'll see what happened. For example, files renamed with lockbit extensions when the attack started. Additional insights from integrated security tools. Arli guides your response. In this case, engage your security team. Perform a clean room recovery for forensic analysis. Execute a synthetic recovery of production data. Even non-specialists can make the right call fast, reducing the risk of human error and speeding up your response. Imagine it's 2 a.m., and your security platform detects suspicious activity indicating a potential ransomware event. At the same time, Commvault provides enrichment alerts showing anomalous data protection behavior. While security teams focus on containing the active threat, resiliency teams immediately begin preparing for recovery. The Commvault Threat Detection Dashboard flags a critical risk. Arli quickly summarizes the attack timeline, identifies the ransomware variant, and pinpoints the impacted systems. You can see exactly when the attack began and which backups may have been impacted. With this level of visibility, you can move from confusion to clarity in minutes, not hours. It's a simple process to act on Arli's recommendations. This offers three options tailored to fit your needs. Manual recovery. Our innovative continuous scanning engine displays a risk indicator for each potential recovery point. Synthetic recovery. This option automatically locates the most recent uncorrupted version of your files, giving you the confidence that your data can be swiftly and easily recovered. Forensic recovery. Perfect for critical situations where you need to investigate compromised data. Let's select synthetic recovery. With synthetic recovery, say goodbye to the hassle of outdated manual restoration approaches. Our innovative feature automatically reviews all your backups, pinpoints the last known good versions of your files, and merges them for you. It validates file integrity, so even if a virtual machine shows a threat, you don't lose your most recent clean data. In the past, you had to manually isolate the affected virtual machines, spend hours scanning them, and if a threat was detected, mark the entire backup as compromised. This new approach accelerates recovery and minimizes data loss, reducing the risk of reintroducing threats into your environment. Need to investigate further? Commvault Cleanroom. Recovery lets you restore data into a secure, isolated environment without the need for multiple UIs or third-party solutions. Runbooks orchestrate the process from recovery to validating resources, saving you time and reducing the risk of manual errors. Your security operations team can then perform forensic analysis, threat hunting, and remediation without risk to your live systems. Faster, more intelligent threat detection helps you catch attacks before they escalate. Guided investigation and automated recovery to bridge knowledge gaps and streamline response. Cleanroom and Synthetic Recovery give you forensic confidence and help minimize data loss. Security and data protection teams can finally move to being prepared and recovery-ready, protecting your business, your customers, and your reputation.

TL;DR

  • Commvault's Threat Detection Dashboard provides a unified, risk-prioritized view of your environment with multi-layered detection, event correlation, and direct action capabilities including quarantine, backup preservation, and on-demand threat hunting.
  • Arlie AI transforms complex threat data into plain-language summaries, identifying ransomware variants like LockBit, pinpointing attack timelines, and recommending specific recovery approaches tailored to the incident context.
  • Synthetic recovery automatically identifies and merges the last known good versions of files across multiple backups, minimizing data loss and rollback while validating file integrity to prevent reintroducing threats into production environments.

Summary

This demonstration showcases Commvault's integrated cyber recovery workflow designed to accelerate ransomware response and minimize data loss. The platform combines multi-layered threat detection with AI-powered investigation through Arlie, an intelligent assistant that translates complex security telemetry into actionable guidance. Organizations can detect threats through a unified dashboard that correlates events across backup systems and third-party security tools, providing risk-scored alerts that prioritize critical incidents. The workflow demonstrates three recovery approaches: manual recovery with risk indicators for each backup point, synthetic recovery that automatically assembles the latest clean file versions across multiple backups to minimize rollback, and forensic recovery into an isolated cleanroom environment for deep investigation without risking production systems. By unifying detection, investigation, and recovery capabilities in a single platform with runbook-driven orchestration, Commvault enables security and data protection teams to move from initial alert to clean restoration in minutes rather than hours, even when non-specialist staff are responding to incidents.
