Frequently Asked Questions Why is it essential to protect Active Directory? Active Directory is a significant target for cybercriminals, especially ransomware. It plays a central role in managing identities and access to network resources, making it a lucrative entry point. Active Directory is a complex system that often has overprivileged accounts, misconfigured security policies, and other vulnerabilities that adversaries can exploit. • 95 million Active Directory accounts are attacked daily • 1.2 million Entra ID accounts are compromised each month • 68% of Active Directory attacks involve ransomware • Attackers can breach Active Directory in about 16 hours Should an attacker delete or alter Active Directory data, the importance of having recent backups cannot be overstated. These backups allow for a swift restoration to the last known good configuration, effectively removing any vestiges of an attack. What key benefits does Backup & Recovery for Active Directory deliver? Automated AD forest recovery • Rapid recovery of AD forests to a point-in-time before an attack allowing you to get back to business in hours rather than days or weeks. Interactive Domain Comparisons • Compare all changes in the AD domain between two points in time, quickly identify the data that needs to be recovered or reverted, and restore it quickly, directly from the report. Fast, Granular Recovery • Flexible, granular recovery allows administrators to quickly recover only the missing, damaged, or misconfigured object attributes and get your business systems or users back online quickly without fully restoring an entire Active Directory environment. Unified Protection for AD and Entra ID • Protect Active Directory in hybrid environments with a single enterprise-grade solution for use with on-premises or cloud applications like Microsoft 365, Microsoft Dynamics 365, endpoints, and VMs. How can I protect my data from ransomware, corruption, or accidental deletion? Commvault Cloud is built on a zero-trust framework, where data is air-gapped and isolated from the source environments. This separation means that incidents affecting production data, like user error or internal attacks, cannot also affect backup copies. With rapid and flexible restore options, users can easily and quickly restore lost or compromised data. Ready to get started? Experience Commvault® Cyber Resilience today Request a demo Guided demo
