Commvault partners with CrowdStrike for better informed disaster recovery

Commvault has released an integration with CrowdStrike designed to deliver bi-directional visibility between Commvault Cloud and CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM.

The integration will help security and IT teams quickly verify backup integrity, making for faster, safer and better-informed recovery decisions, according to Commvault.

Commvault said it has previously worked with CrowdStrike to help customers identify compromised backup data through an integration with the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, automatically flagging at-risk backup sets to support faster, safer recoveries.

With the new integration, Commvault delivers its own security capabilities, including AI-powered anomaly alerts, directly into Falcon Next-Gen SIEM.

The integration will combine signals from Falcon Next-Gen SIEM with Commvault’s scanning, data integrity analytics, and Synthetic Recovery product, meaning organisations can restore from known-clean backups.

Shared signals also aim to give IT and SecOps teams visibility into the integrity of backup data from within Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, allowing not just for a streamlined triage and expedited identification of safe data to recover, but the ability to coordinate investigation, containment, and recovery workflows.

“Driving clean and trusted recoveries is now a business imperative,” said Pranay Ahlawat, chief technology and AI officer at Commvault.

“By bringing together CrowdStrike’s security insights with Commvault’s deep AI-powered data intelligence, we’re making it easier for security and IT teams to collaborate, identify threats earlier, and make informed trusted recovery decisions that can keep organizations moving.”

“By bringing Commvault’s recovery intelligence into CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, we’re giving organisations a unified operational view that connects security signals with data trust," said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike, said.

“This context helps leaders understand the true business impact of an attack, prioritize response, and move faster from detection to recovery – with Falcon Next-Gen SIEM as the AI-native platform where those decisions come together.”
