Commvault announced an integration between Commvault Threat Scan and Google Threat Intelligence, aiming to help organizations identify clean recovery points faster after cyberattacks.
The integration adds Google Threat Intelligence data and scanning capabilities to Commvault recovery workflows. The companies said the goal is to help customers validate backup data, identify compromised recovery points and reduce downtime during incident response.
Recovery Needs Threat Context
After a cyberattack, security teams may understand indicators of compromise before recovery teams know which backup points are safe to restore. That gap can slow business recovery because restoring compromised data risks reintroducing the attack.
Google Threat Intelligence combines Mandiant frontline intelligence, VirusTotal crowdsourced intelligence and Google threat insights. Commvault said bringing those signals into Threat Scan can help customers analyze protected workloads and apply threat context during recovery decisions.
Inline Scanning Targets Faster Decisions
Commvault is also adding scanning capabilities that collect file hashes during backup operations. Those hashes can be checked against threat intelligence indicators so teams can more quickly determine whether recovery points are clean.
The company said the integration strengthens its Synthetic Recovery capability, which uses an AI-enabled process to detect threats and remove compromised data during recovery while preserving clean data.
The Bottom Line
Commvault’s Google Threat Intelligence integration brings cyber recovery closer to security operations. For enterprise resilience teams, the value will be measured in cleaner restores, faster recovery decisions and less uncertainty after a ransomware or destructive attack.
