Commvault, a leader in unified enterprise resilience, has unveiled a series of breakthrough innovations within its Commvault Cloud Unity platform, redefining how organizations achieve clean, complete, and automated cyber recovery. These enhancements are designed to help enterprises recover trusted data at the fastest and most optimal speed, addressing one of the most urgent challenges in modern cybersecurity.

With 94% of ransomware attacks attempting to compromise backup storage, according to a Sophos report, traditional recovery approaches often leave organizations vulnerable. Commvault’s new capabilities aim to close these gaps end-to-end.

Advancing Clean Recoveries

Following a cyberattack or outage, restoring clean data is critical—otherwise malware can be reinjected into production environments. The latest version of Commvault’s Threat Scan uses AI to identify, analyze, and quarantine suspicious files. It detects newly encrypted files and searches for specific Indicators of Compromise (IoCs), helping teams uncover ransomware indicators such as gradual malicious encryption.

Advancing Complete Recoveries

Organizations often struggle between restoring an older clean backup (risking major data loss) or restoring the latest data (risking reinfection). Commvault’s new Synthetic Recovery capability eliminates this trade-off. Using a patent-pending, AI-driven process, it removes threats during recovery while preserving clean data—enabling the most complete restoration possible.

Advancing Cleanroom Recovery Automation

Commvault has enhanced its Cleanroom Recovery offering with runbook automation, enabling enterprises to accelerate secure recovery testing. Teams can automatically build Cleanroom environments with predefined settings and configurations to validate recovery before returning data to production.

The Power of an Integrated Recovery Workflow

Together, these innovations create a seamless end-to-end recovery workflow:

  • Threat Scan identifies risks in protected data.
  • Synthetic Recovery assembles clean, threat-free data during recovery.
  • Cleanroom Recovery provides a secure space for automated, validated testing.

“With data stored in multi-cloud environments, recovery can be daunting, but not with Commvault,” said Debashis Singh, CIO of Persistent Systems. “Commvault is bringing forth a unified and integrated resilience workflow that is unlike anything on the market today.”

Archana Venkatraman, Senior Research Director at IDC, added, “These capabilities elevate the industry conversation by moving beyond backup hygiene to intelligent, automated restoration. It’s a tangible example of how AI and data validation accelerate safe business continuity.”

“It’s a business-critical necessity to conduct clean recoveries,” said Pranay Ahlawat, Chief Technology and AI Officer at Commvault. “We’re enabling that in a new and innovative way while automating recovery validation so every customer can recover with confidence.”

Availability

Commvault’s Synthetic Recovery, Threat Scan Advanced, and enhanced Cleanroom Recovery solutions are available in early access, with general availability targeted for early 2026. Stylized demos for Cyber Recovery and Cleanroom Recovery for Testing and Forensics are available through Commvault’s platform.

This announcement complements other major updates revealed at SHIFT 2025, including the launch of Commvault Cloud Unity and new innovations in cloud-native data protection and identity resilience.
