AI-driven solutions enable real-time threat detection, identifying potential breaches and anomalies before they escalate, complete with an automated approach to recovery in case of any eventuality. Automated data protection with backup and recovery processes ensure data integrity, while AI’s predictive analytics not only anticipate hardware failures and optimize storage management but also provide the ability to become a proactive and intelligent endeavor in streamlining data protection and recovery operations that are aligned with business SLAs, as AI continuously learns from historical data, improving its predictive capabilities over time. This convergence of human expertise and AI-driven insights empowers the data protection industry to stay one step ahead, securing sensitive information and fostering resilience in the face of cyber and disastrous events. Embracing AI in data protection is not just a possibility; it’s a powerful reality that sets the stage for a safer and more secure digital future. Democratizing AI: Commvault’s Commitment to Innovation As the global technology landscape continues to evolve, AI (Artificial Intelligence) has quickly become a cornerstone of innovation. At Commvault, we believe in the democratization of this game-changing technology, making it accessible to organizations of all sizes and across various sectors. The goal is not only to leverage AI in streamlining operations but also to use it to revolutionize the user experience and the way that security operations interact and collaborate with data protection teams for seamless recovery of data and IT operations, thereby minimizing downtime in the face of cyber or disaster events. The integration of AI into Commvault’s Data Protection Platform is a testament to this commitment. Data Protection: Safeguarding the Lifeblood of Organizations It is crucial for all organizations to recognize the significance of data protection, backup, and recovery in today’s world. These aspects play a pivotal role in an organization’s Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) planning. As AI revolutionizes various industries, understanding the importance of safeguarding data becomes paramount. Data is the lifeblood of any organization, and without robust protection measures, the risk of data loss, cyber threats, and operational disruptions increases significantly. By comprehending the essence of data protection, backup, and recovery, individuals can actively contribute to their organization’s resilience and preparedness in the face of potential disasters. As AI drives innovations in technology and data management, fostering a collective awareness of the critical role data protection plays empowers us all to ensure the continuity and longevity of our organizations in an ever-evolving digital landscape. AI-Driven Automation: Redefining Data Protection Processes Data Protection technologies provide the much-needed data protected copies of organizations’ data, serving as the “Insurance Policy” to help them recover after a cyber-attack or natural calamity. These technologies safeguard valuable data and keep the operations running even in the face of disasters, cyber-attacks, or system failures. The traditional backup and recovery processes, while essential, are often time-consuming and demand considerable manual effort. This is where AI comes in. With Commvault platform’s AI-driven capabilities, Commvault helps automate routine tasks, enhancing system efficiency, and reducing technical debt. AI-Powered Insights: Enhancing Data Protection Efficiency Commvault’s platform uses AI for management by exception, analyzing the status and completion time of thousands of daily backup jobs to learn typical behavior and identify anomalies. The platform can provide granular views, right down to jobs/events with a curated view of unique or unusual events based on their frequency, severity, and type, reducing any operational overheads. This helps with faster triaging as the data points supplemented are not contaminated with false positives. Commvault’s AI capabilities also include file anomaly detection as “Indicators of Attack” and entropy analysis for “Indicators of Compromise” for identifying potential ransomware attacks or file compromises.
