Commvault just made a strategic move to strengthen its cyber resilience platform, announcing plans to acquire Satori Cyber, a data and AI security company known for its agentless, cloud-native controls and deep visibility into structured and AI training data.

The timing, as with most of the deals like this that we’re seeing lately, isn’t coincidental. Enterprises are facing crazy-massive data growth, accelerated AI adoption, and growing regulatory pressure across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. In this environment, security leaders require more than backup; they need visibility, access controls, and governance built in for AI.

“As enterprises accelerate AI and modern data platform adoption, securing sensitive data across distributed environments grows increasingly complex,” said Rajiv Kottomtharayil, Commvault’s chief product officer. “By integrating Satori’s real-time, agentless controls… we’re enabling secure data access, AI governance, and policy enforcement across platforms like Snowflake, Redshift, and Databricks.”

What Satori brings to the table: access management and automation

Satori’s platform specializes in managing and securing structured data, often the very data used to train large language models. The acquisition will provide Commvault customers with tools for real-time access management, automated discovery, and classification, along with LLM-specific protections such as prompt tracking and usage monitoring.

Satori’s agentless design and compatibility with modern data stacks mean it’s specifically built for fast-moving environments. And it fits nicely into Commvault’s mission of delivering end-to-end cyber resilience, from data discovery to cleanroom recovery workflows.

“Rapidly incorporating AI comes with risks,” said Satori CEO and co-founder Eldad Chai. “Our next-generation AI capabilities integrated into Commvault’s cyber resilience platform will offer customers a unified approach to securing sensitive data and AI pipelines – from discovery to governance and from access management to cyber recovery.”

Implications for MSPs and the channel

For MSPs managing client environments in the cloud and at the edge, this move highlights, once again, that AI governance is no longer optional. As data protection vendors expand beyond backup into policy enforcement and real-time monitoring, MSPs will need to lean on platforms that simplify compliance while safeguarding AI infrastructure.

Satori’s integrations with tools like Snowflake and Microsoft Fabric also reflect the environments MSPs increasingly support. This isn’t just AI hype; it’s about giving service providers the tools to manage structured data, secure AI pipelines, and help clients mitigate risk in real-time.

“This acquisition strengthens Commvault’s capacity to assist enterprises with the growing intricacies of data and AI security,” said Frank Dickson, group VP, IDC. “Satori Cyber’s multi-cloud data activity monitoring, data discovery, and policy enforcement controls will enhance Commvault’s ability to help clients simplify compliance efforts to mitigate security and privacy risks.”

The deal is expected to close in August 2025.
