Commvault Intros Bi-Directional Integration with CrowdStrike

Commvault, a unified resilience platform provider, has announced an expanded integration with CrowdStrike that delivers bi-directional visibility between Commvault Cloud and CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM. 

The collaboration is designed to help security and IT teams verify backup integrity, enabling faster, safer, and better-informed recovery decisions. 

Making informed, trusted recovery decisions

According to Commvault, the integration is intended to ensure that recovery data for organizations is clean, trusted, and ready when needed. 

Commvault had previously worked with CrowdStrike on an integration with the CrowdStrike platform to help customers identify compromised backup data, automatically flagging at-risk backup sets to support faster, safer recoveries.

“Driving clean and trusted recoveries is now a business imperative,” said Pranay Ahlawat, chief technology and AI officer at Commvault. 

“By bringing together CrowdStrike’s security insights with Commvault’s deep AI-powered data intelligence, we’re making it easier for security and IT teams to collaborate, identify threats earlier, and make informed trusted recovery decisions that can keep organizations moving.”

Commvault brings AI-powered anomaly alerts into Falcon Next-Gen

With the expanded integration, Commvault offers its own security capabilities, including AI-powered anomaly alerts, directly into Falcon Next-Gen SIEM. 

Commvault says this shared intelligence will enable security and IT teams to make faster decisions and respond to potential data compromises with better precision. 

Key benefits of the integration include: 

• Reduce reinfection risk and enable safe recovery workflows: By combining signals from Falcon Next-Gen SIEM with Commvault threat scanning, data integrity analytics, and Synthetic Recovery, organizations can restore from known-clean backups with more confidence.
• Fast detection and investigation through unified telemetry: Shared signals provide IT and SecOps teams visibility into the integrity of backup data from within Falcon Next-Gen SIEM. This can streamline triage and expedite identification of safe data to recover.
• Strong security and IT alignment during incidents: With a shared operational view, SecOps and IT teams can coordinate investigation, containment, and recovery workflows without delays created by siloed tools.

Offering IT teams a  ‘unified operational view’ 

For CrowdStrike Chief Business Officer Daniel Bernard, the partnership addresses the need for organizations to have both agility and confidence when responding to modern threats.

“By bringing Commvault’s recovery intelligence into CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, we’re giving organizations a unified operational view that connects security signals with data trust,” said Bernard.

“This context helps leaders understand the true business impact of an attack, prioritize response, and move faster from detection to recovery – with Falcon Next-Gen SIEM as the AI-native platform where those decisions come together.” 

In terms of availability, the Commvault and CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM integration is available today through the CrowdStrike Marketplace at no additional charge. 

Customers can activate the integration directly within their existing environments.

Earlier this year, Commvault launched the Cloud Unified Data Vault, a cloud-native service that extends the company’s air-gapped protection and resilience capabilities to data written using the S3 protocol.
