Commvault Elevates Cyber Resilience in Healthcare

At the HIMSS25 global health conference in Las Vegas, Commvault, a frontrunner in data protection and cyber resilience solutions for hybrid cloud environments, unveiled its latest technologies designed specifically to aid healthcare organizations besieged by cyber threats. The alarming statistics surrounding cyberattacks in healthcare highlight an urgent need for effective data recovery solutions. In the first half of 2024 alone, over 31 million patient records were involved in breaches, and the cost of these attacks to the U.S. healthcare system has exceeded $21.9 billion since 2018.

Understanding the Importance of Cyber Resilience

As cybercriminals increasingly target healthcare facilities, the crucial reliance on sensitive data for patient care means that breaches can significantly compromise service delivery. Commvault’s approach allows healthcare providers to not just focus on preventing attacks, which may be impossible given the current landscape, but on enhancing their recovery strategies to ensure continuous patient care regardless of cyber incidents.

Solutions for Effective Recovery

Commvault introduces two compelling solutions: Cleanroom Recovery and Cloud Rewind. These technologies facilitate fast recovery of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and other critical healthcare data.

• - Cleanroom Recovery enables the creation of a secure, production-ready environment in the cloud. This environment is designed to restore essential healthcare data without threat from ransomware, thereby ensuring that patient data remains safe and accessible.

• - Cloud Rewind is a powerful feature that automates the discovery, protection, and recovery of entire application environments—including critical programs such as EHR systems. By allowing near-instant rollbacks, it ensures that healthcare providers can maintain continuity of care following disruptions caused by cyberattacks.

Proactive Measures and Responsibilities

The proactive nature of Cleanroom Recovery allows healthcare organizations not only to recover data but also to test their recovery plans regularly. This preparedness means that in the event of a breach, healthcare providers will already have a set action plan to restore functionalities rapidly, thus minimizing patient care disruptions.

Michael Carroll, Area Vice President for Healthcare at Commvault, emphasized, "In healthcare, understanding what is crucial for minimum viable operations is key. Ensuring that patient records and treatment plans are back online swiftly after an attack becomes essential not just for compliance, but for safeguarding lives." Conducting timely recovery not only protects sensitive data but also restores trust and efficiency in healthcare operations, prioritized above all else.

Built on Robust Infrastructure

Commvault's cyber resilience solutions are designed on the Microsoft Azure platform, providing cloud-native capabilities that enhance the operational resilience of healthcare providers. According to David Houlding, Director of Global Healthcare Security & Compliance Strategy at Microsoft, this collaboration fortifies healthcare organizations, enabling them to protect vital patient data effectively and minimize downtime.

Demonstrating Commitment to Healthcare

At the HIMSS25 conference, Commvault invites healthcare leaders to explore these solutions live. Attendees can find Commvault at booth #C1027, where demonstrations will showcase how these innovations can transform resilience strategies in a rapidly evolving threat landscape. Interested parties can schedule a demo to see firsthand how these tools are revolutionizing cybersecurity in healthcare.
