Commvault Receives Recognition as a Leader in Cyber-Recovery
On October 8, 2025, Commvault (NASDAQ: CVLT), a prominent provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions tailored for the hybrid cloud, announced its recognition as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Cyber-Recovery 2025 Vendor Assessment. This assessment highlights Commvault's strengths in several crucial areas, including its innovative cyber recovery architecture, comprehensive workload and platform coverage, seamless security ecosystem integration, and dedicated training for cyber resilience.
The IDC MarketScape report specifically noted Commvault's cyber-recovery capabilities, which feature purpose-built technology such as immutable and air-gapped storage solutions, meticulously curated and orchestrated recovery workflows, and robust integration with a wide array of security vendors. Notably, Commvault was one of the first recovery service providers to incorporate decoy strategies in its solutions. This method involves simulating high-value targets, such as Active Directory, to identify potential infiltration attempts. In the event that the Active Directory is compromised, Commvault is equipped to perform both forest-level and granular object recovery.
Rajiv Kottomtharayil, Commvault's Chief Products Officer, emphasized the importance of effective data management in today's AI-driven landscape, where data is increasingly valuable and at risk. He stated, "Our platform empowers customers to maintain resilience, enabling them to recover swiftly and effectively while leveraging AI to mitigate the risks associated with its expansive use. This acknowledgment as a Leader by the IDC MarketScape reinforces our dedication to assisting organizations in navigating complex cyber threats with confidence."
Moreover, Johnny Yu, Research Manager for Infrastructure Software Platforms at IDC, remarked on Commvault's cutting-edge approach to cyber recovery. He noted, "Commvault excels in delivering a unified platform that offers extensive coverage for both legacy and modern workloads. Its cutting-edge features, including immutable and air-gapped storage, curated recovery workflows, and deep security vendor integrations, make it highly suitable for large enterprises aiming to simplify technology management and align their data resilience strategies with evolving security and compliance requirements."
