Commvault brings discover-to-recover resilience to Microsoft 365. Oct 15, 2026, 08:30 ET New capabilities help organizations uncover hidden threats in Microsoft 365 backup data, identify trusted recovery points, and reduce the risk of reinfection TINTON FALLS, N.J., Oct. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Commvault (NASDAQ: CVLT), a leader in unified resilience at enterprise scale, today announced new data security and threat hunting capabilities for Microsoft 365. With more than 450 million paid commercial seats worldwide,[1] Microsoft 365 is a popular cloud productivity and collaboration platform. Bad actors often target emails, attachments, and shared files associated with the SaaS application. Commvault is helping Microsoft 365 customers advance resilience in the following ways: * Discover sensitive data: Map where sensitive data, including personally identifiable information (PII) and intellectual property, resides across Microsoft 365 with Commvault Data Posture 360 (previously Risk Analysis) and surface exposure risks to help prioritize response. * Hunt for hidden threats: Uncover malware, ransomware, encryption activity, data anomalies, and other indicators of compromise across protected Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams data with Commvault Threat Scan. * Know what's safe to restore: Use threat signals to isolate compromised content and identify clean, trusted recovery points. This helps recover only known-good data, reduce reinfection risk, and accelerate recovery of Microsoft 365 data. * Broaden threat discovery: Apply current threat intelligence to historical backup copies in immutable storage to detect threats that may have been unknown or undetected when the data was originally protected. "Commvault is bringing three key elements to the resilience equation with Microsoft 365: detection, visibility, and clean recoveries," said Pranay Ahlawat, Chief Technology and AI Officer at Commvault. "Resilience and compliance depend on identifying threats fast, understanding if sensitive data is exposed, and what's safe to restore." "During a cyber incident, knowing what data can be safely restored is just as important as having a backup," said Matt Pancheri, IT Manager and Systems Administrator, Spokane Industries. "Commvault gives our team a way to investigate our protected Microsoft 365 data and make more informed recovery decisions, helping limit disruption to the business." "Alerting decision-makers to compromised data within Microsoft 365 backup offers both data security and data protection teams the information they need for improved resilience and continuity," said Jennifer Glenn, Research Director for Information and Data Security, IDC. "This is essential for enterprises to prove operational data is both recoverable and trustworthy." Global Availability Threat Scan and Data Posture 360 for Microsoft 365 are both planned for early access preview in the coming weeks, with general availability targeted for early 2027. Both capabilities will be offered as paid add-ons to Commvault Backup & Recovery for Microsoft 365. Customers can purchase either capability independently.

Beyond Data Protection: Yokohama India's Sharad Sharma prioritises faster detection, Recovery and business continuity. By Archana Gupta 5 hours ago The definition of enterprise data resilience is evolving. While protecting critical information remains fundamental, technology leaders are increasingly examining how quickly organisations can detect threats, restore operations and ensure business continuity following a disruption. Sharad Sharma, Head of IT at Yokohama India, shared this perspective with CXO TV following the CXO Leadership Dialogue held on 23 September 2026 in New Delhi, in association with Commvault, Microsoft and SoftwareOne. Reflecting on the discussion, Sharma acknowledged a shift in his own approach to data resilience - from primarily protecting data towards strengthening detection capabilities, accelerating recovery and maintaining business continuity. From Data Protection to Recovery Readiness For enterprise IT leaders, data protection is only one component of a broader resilience strategy. Sharma highlighted the importance of reducing the time required to identify potential threats and recover from disruptions. His observations bring attention to two increasingly important operational measures: how quickly an organisation can detect an incident and how effectively it can restore critical services. Zero Trust, AI and Compliance in Focus Sharma also identified Zero Trust infrastructure, AI-driven data resilience solutions and compliance with India's Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) framework among his key technology focus areas. He emphasised the potential role of behavioural-based detection and other approaches that can improve threat identification and support faster recovery. Together, these priorities reflect a broader need to align cybersecurity capabilities with operational resilience and regulatory requirements. The Evolving Technology Roadmap Sharma's perspective highlights four areas relevant to enterprise technology planning: Threat detection: Improving the speed and effectiveness of identifying potential security incidents. Recovery and continuity: Strengthening the ability to restore operations following disruption. AI and Zero Trust: Exploring technologies that support stronger security and data resilience. Regulatory compliance: Addressing applicable DPDP requirements as part of enterprise data governance. His key takeaway from the dialogue reinforces a fundamental consideration for IT leadership: protecting data is essential, but the ability to detect threats quickly, recover effectively and sustain business operations is equally critical.
