as the core of user access, application availability, and business continuity, making them prime targets for attackers. Throughout this demo, we'll highlight how Commvault's capabilities address the unique needs of technology and security leaders through proactive risk assessment, real-time threat detection and response, automated clean recovery, unified management. Commvault provides identity resilience, protecting Active Directory, and Entra ID from attacks, misconfigurations, and compromise. Our unified control plane helps enable you to assess risk, identify malicious activity, and recover cleanly, all from one platform. Every strong defense starts with visibility. Our AD vulnerability assessments conduct a comprehensive identity posture scan, identifying misconfigurations and exposures that attackers might exploit. This helps enable you to proactively reduce risk and support compliance. It's a way to catch issues before they turn into incidents. The overall score indicates the level of risk based on the number and severity of indicators of exposure identified. Let's look at one example, accounts with passwords that never expire. These credentials provide ideal opportunities for attackers. Each indicator has a severity rating and outlines the potential impact if it is exploited. Additionally, Commvault specifies the steps needed to remediate this vulnerability. In this case, all users that have passwords which are set to never expire. Assessments give you the map, but the moment an attacker acts, you need to know, fast. Commvault's rapid AD auditing provides visibility into change, alerting you to suspicious activity as it happens. All changes made to Active Directory are recorded with essential details. Additionally, both successful and failed logins to the directory are also captured, helping to provide a complete picture of user activity. Here, we see a sequence of suspicious events. A backdoor account created using a compromised user account, added to domain admins, and a malicious group policy created linked to the domain head, designed to deploy ransomware. Once you identify the suspicious activity, you can easily filter the activity feed to find all other changes made by the compromised user account. Commvault AD auditing not only detects changes, but enables you to rapidly contain them. From the same view, you can roll back the malicious GPO link, restoring the environment to a known good state. Reversing the attack chain with one action, this helps minimize downtime, limit the blast radius of attacks, and maintain trust in your environment. Your rollback halts the attack, but how do you prevent it from happening again? Let's revisit our assessment results. The same compromised account appears in our assessment results. The account had a stale password that was set to expire. The assessment results highlight other accounts with the same vulnerability. By removing these non-expiring credentials and strengthening password policies, you close one of the attacker's most common entry points. Even with strong defenses, no organization is immune to compromise. Commvault Forest Recovery automates one of the most complex processes in IT, rebuilding an entire Active Directory forest after ransomware or corruption. Commvault's visual view of the AD forest displays the topology of domains and domain controllers and highlights the key roles each DC holds. A forest recovery may involve 50 to 100 individual steps or even more, depending on the number of domains and DCs. Using intuitive runbooks, we orchestrate every step. Commvault takes recovery further with Recovery AD to clean VM, which allows rebuilding domain controllers on newly created systems. This helps enable faster, cleaner recoveries and less business disruption. Modern enterprises operate hybrid environments with identities spanning on-premises AD and cloud-based Entra ID. Commvault's unified control plane provides assessment, auditing, detection, and recovery across both platforms. This simplifies operations, reduces tool sprawl, and assures leadership that hybrid identity resilience is truly unified across both cloud and on-premises environments. Commvault delivers a comprehensive approach to identity resilience, helping you proactively assess risks, detect and contain threats quickly, and recover your Active Directory and Entra ID environments confidently. From automated vulnerability assessments and rapid rollback of malicious changes to orchestrated recovery and unified management across hybrid environments, Commvault puts you in control of your most critical identity systems. With Commvault, you're not just backing up data, you're protecting the foundation of your business identity.
