Commvault announces Active Directory Pre Recover solution enabling near real time access to trusted identity services during cyberattacks. Published on 09/09/2026 at 09:50 am EDT S&P Capital IQ Commvault announced Commvault Active Directory Pre Recover. This new solution, which utilizes existing Commvault technologies? including Commvault Cleanroom and Threat Scan, can reduce the time it takes to cleanly recover Active Directory from hours to minutes. Active Directory Pre Recover creates a clean, standby copy of Active Directory in an isolated, air-gapped Cleanroom environment. When disaster or disruption strikes, rather than waiting for a full forest recovery, or relying on complicated identity synchronization, organizations can fail over in minutes to this clean copy and keep the business running. Commvault also utilizes Threat Scan to continuously scan Active Directory backups so the standby copy is free of malicious content. This innovation comes as identity systems have become a primary target for attackers and organizations are facing increased pressure to restore rapidly and without risk of re-infection. Additional Benefits of Commvault Active Directory Pre Recover: Keep critical operations running during a cyber incident: With the Active Directory standby copy stored in Cleanroom, organizations can have peace of mind that, in the event production identity services are unavailable, trusted access to critical systems can continue. Minimize application and infrastructure disruption: Applications can continue authenticating against trusted identity services without requiring complicated replication of accounts in alternate Identity and Access Management Systems or waiting for a full forest restore to complete. Commvault Active Directory Pre Recover will be available for early access in the coming months, delivered as part of Commvault's Identity Resilience portfolio. All enterprise Active Directory customers will receive Active Directory Pre Recover as part of their existing license, including a lite version of Cleanroom. This offering will be available globally through Commvault's partner ecosystem. (C) S&P Capital IQ - 2026
Commvault has launched Active Directory Pre Recover, a solution that reduces recovery time for compromised identity infrastructure from hours to minutes. The technology creates a clean, standby copy of Active Directory in an isolated environment using Commvault's existing Cleanroom technology. When disruption occurs, organisations can fail over to this clean copy within minutes rather than waiting for full forest recovery. The solution continuously scans backups using Threat Scan to ensure the standby copy remains free of malicious content. "Commvault has already made significant progress reducing identity recovery times from weeks to hours, and now we are extending that progress toward near-real-time availability," said Rajiv Kottomtharayil, chief products officer at Commvault. The solution will be available for early access in coming months as part of Commvault's Identity Resilience portfolio.
Commvault has appointed James Hayes as its first Chief Public Affairs Officer. Hayes will lead the company's government and public affairs strategy across federal, state, and international regulatory bodies. Hayes joins from IonQ and Tenable, where he led federal advocacy and cybersecurity policy. He previously headed EMC's Government Affairs Office in Washington, DC, and served on the staff of the United States Senate Appropriations Committee. The appointment comes as AI, quantum computing, and evolving cyber threats reshape the technology and policy landscape. Hayes will work to bridge public and private sectors around shared priorities, particularly in areas of emerging technology and data security. Commvault provides unified resilience solutions, combining data security, identity resilience, and cyber recovery on a cloud-native, AI-enabled platform.
Commvault integrated Google's threat intelligence into its recovery workflows on 3 August, allowing the system to automatically determine whether backed-up data is safe to restore after a cyberattack. The integration combines Mandiant's research, VirusTotal's malware data, and Google threat signals with Commvault's existing Threat Scan tool. The company reported strong subscription growth in its fiscal first quarter, with subscription revenue reaching $267 million, up 16% year over year. SaaS revenue crossed $100 million, up 39%, whilst subscription annualized recurring revenue climbed 22% to $1,054 million. However, GAAP operating margin was 8.2%, significantly below the non-GAAP margin of 22.8%. Second quarter subscription revenue guidance of $264 million to $268 million suggests flat growth. Hedge fund ownership dropped from 36 funds to 28, whilst short interest stands at 9.07% of the float.
Commvault expanded its Cloud Rewind platform on 18 August, tripling the number of Microsoft Azure resource types it can protect and recover after cyberattacks or outages.

The company reported fiscal first quarter 2027 results on 28 July, with subscription revenue rising 16% year over year to $267 million.

However, guidance for second-quarter subscription revenue of $264 million to $268 million suggests flat sequential growth. Hedge fund ownership fell from 36 funds to 28 in the most recent quarter.
