Availability of Commvault Metallic ThreatWise for Threat Detection and Zero Loss

Commvault Systems, Inc. announced the availability of Metallic ThreatWise an early warning system that proactively surfaces unknown and zero-day threats to minimize compromised data and business impact.

According to Enterprise Strategy Group, only 12% of the IT directors surveyed indicated confidence in having the proper tools and necessary location agnostic protection to secure data equally across on-premises and cloud.

Kate Mollett, senior regional director Africa, says: “South African businesses are no stranger to ransomware attacks and the threat is very real for our market, as seen with a number of highly publicised incidents. As ransomware evolves, traditional prevention tactics are no longer a match for the next level of stealth and a new proactive approach and technology is required to actively defend an organisation’s data.”

With ThreatWise, the company is further defining data security with an early warning that no other vendor in this space provides. It uses decoys to proactively bait bad actors into engaging fake resources, spot threats in production environments, and arm businesses with tools to keep data safe. Simultaneously, the firm is also extending its ML and critical threat detection and security capabilities to its broader platform, which is available.

“In surveying enterprise IT directors with direct knowledge and influence on their company’s data security strategies, the results we found were eye opening. It is very clear that many IT teams do not have adequate tools in place to detect ransomware attacks on production environments early enough in the attack chain to neutralize stealthy cyber-attacks before they cause harm,” said Jon Oltsik, senior principal analyst and fellow, Enterprise Strategy Group. “Ransomware has revolved around encryption for a long time, but newer extortion techniques like exfiltration go beyond rapidly spreading malware, and data recovery alone cannot help if sensitive business data is leaked to the Dark Web.”

“Data recovery is important, but alone it’s not enough. Just a few hours with an undetected bad actor in your systems can be catastrophic,” said Ranga Rajagopalan, SVP products, Commvault. “By integrating ThreatWise into the Metallic SaaS portfolio, we provide customers with a proactive, early warning system that bolsters their zero-loss strategy by intercepting a threat before it impacts your business.”

Metallic ThreatWise, along with the company’s latest platform update features are available.
