NEW YORK - Commvault (NASDAQ:CVLT) announced an expansion of its Identity Resilience portfolio on Wednesday, introducing new capabilities to detect threats in Active Directory (AD), audit changes, and quickly restore systems to a trusted state. The cybersecurity firm, which has posted impressive revenue growth of 22% over the last twelve months, has seen its stock decline by nearly 27% over the past six months, currently trading at $129.90.
The cybersecurity firm also revealed integration between its Active Directory forest recovery offering and Cleanroom Recovery, allowing organizations to test recovery plans in isolated environments without disrupting production systems.
The new features aim to address security vulnerabilities in Active Directory, which according to Commvault is targeted in nine out of ten cyberattacks because it controls access to critical business systems and data.
The expanded Identity Resilience portfolio includes vulnerability assessment and anomaly detection to track risks across users and policies. It also provides logging capabilities for IT and security teams to monitor who made changes, when, and from where, while enabling quick rollback of suspicious modifications.
"Active Directory serves as the core of our business operations and if compromised, key business functions could be impacted," said Erich Beter, Senior Director of Information Security at Jazwares, in the press release statement.
The integration of Active Directory forest recovery with Cleanroom Recovery will allow customers to recover AD forests in isolated environments and test recovery plans without affecting production systems.
According to Rajiv Kottomtharayil, Chief Product Officer at Commvault, the company’s approach unifies identity resilience with data protection and security on a single platform, which he claims provides "a lower overall TCO for customers and a single, reliable recovery plan."
The Identity Resilience enhancements, announced at the company’s SHIFT 2025 event, will be available in early access beginning in early 2026.
