What is synthetic recovery and how does it minimize data loss?

Synthetic recovery automatically analyzes all available backups to identify the last known good version of each file, then merges these clean versions into a single recovery point. This approach validates file integrity individually rather than marking entire backups as compromised, allowing you to recover the most recent clean data and minimize rollback even when some files in a backup show threats.

How does Arlie help non-specialists respond to ransomware incidents?

Arlie distills complex threat telemetry into clear summaries showing what happened, when the attack started, which systems were impacted, and which backups may be affected. It identifies ransomware variants and provides specific next-step recommendations like engaging security teams, performing cleanroom recovery for forensics, or executing synthetic recovery for production data, enabling non-experts to make informed decisions during high-pressure incidents.

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.

Key Quotes

1:33 "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."
1:56 "Arli is your AI-powered data security ally. It distills complex threat data into clear, actionable insights."
4:12 "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."
