Commvault Boosts Quantum-Safe Encryption To Tackle Emerging Cyber Risks
Quantum computing will change everything we know about encryption and cyber defence, said Bill OConnell, Commvaults CSO. Our goal is to stay ahead of these shifts, giving customers the tools they need before threats materialize. Commvault has expanded its quantum-safe encryption toolkit, becoming one of the first major cyber resilience vendors to support the Hamming Quasi-Cyclic (HQC) algorithm—part of its broader strategy to protect against next-generation threats enabled by quantum computing. The company announced today that its Commvault Cloud platform now supports HQC, a NIST-recommended algorithm designed to address 'harvest now, decrypt later' risks. These involve adversaries capturing encrypted data today to decode it in the future, once quantum computing reaches sufficient maturity. 'Quantum computing will change everything we know about encryption and cyber defence,' said Bill O'Connell, Commvault's CSO. 'Our goal is to stay ahead of these shifts, giving customers the tools they need before threats materialize.' Commvault's commitment to post-quantum cryptography dates back to August 2024, when it introduced a crypto-agility framework and support for standards like CRYSTALS-Kyber and SPHINCS+. With today's additions, the company continues to set the pace in an increasingly urgent race. The update is especially relevant for sectors like healthcare and finance, where data must be protected for decades. Commvault's Risk Analysis tools help organizations pinpoint which data sets could benefit from quantum-safe encryption, making the transition easier through a simple checkbox interface. 'Quantum readiness has become a business imperative,' said IDC's Phil Goodwin. 'Commvault's leadership in this space positions it as a proactive player in data protection.' The PQC features are immediately available for all Commvault Cloud users on version CPR 2024 (11.36) and above.

Commvault Extends Support to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Workloads for Enhanced, Cloud-Native Cyber Resilience
Delivers unified cyber resilience for virtual machines and containers on Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization TINTON FALLS, N.J., May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Commvault, a leading provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for the hybrid cloud, today announced it is extending its Kubernetes protection to support virtual machines (VMs) running on Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization. This new capability enhances cyber resilience for organizations moving to modern application environments. Containerized workload adoption is rapidly growing: Gartner predicts 90% of G2000 companies will use container management tools by 20271, and the Containers as a Service (CaaS) market is forecasted to hit nearly $USD 44B by 20342. This surge makes integrated data protection and recoverability critical. Enterprises must mitigate downtime from ransomware and other disruptions while managing complex data protection across hybrid environments. Using disparate tools for VMs and containers can create overhead, duplicate efforts, and heighten risk. These are just some of the reasons a unified cyber resilience strategy is vital for protection against evolving threats, reducing complexity, streamlining operations, and lowering total cost of ownership (TCO). Commvault addresses this by enabling customers to automatically discover, protect, and recover VMs running on Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization alongside their containerized workloads, all through the Commvault Cloud platform. These capabilities can be particularly valuable for DevOps, SRE, IT/backup admins, and technology leaders (CIOs, CISOs, CTOs) that are managing cloud-native estates. For customers, this means: Robust Cyber Resilience: Commvault offers air-gapped and immutable backups with advanced recovery for VMs on Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, enabling improved business continuity in the face of ransomware and other threats. Faster and More Flexible Recovery: Customers can restore VMs both in-place and out-of-place, including VM configurations, accelerating deployment and minimizing downtime. Unified Protection for Hybrid Workloads: Customers can simplify operations by managing both traditional and cloud-native workloads through a single platform, reducing tool sprawl and operational silos. Cost Savings and Operational Efficiency: Customers can eliminate the need for separate backup infrastructure or tools for VMs, lowering TCO and increasing administrative efficiency. "We're proud to deepen our collaboration with Red Hat through support for Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization. Together, we're committed to delivering industry-leading cyber resilience and data protection across hybrid environments for our joint customers," said Pranay Ahlawat, Chief Technology and AI Officer, Commvault. "Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization is an included feature of Red Hat OpenShift, the industry's leading hybrid cloud application platform powered by Kubernetes, providing a modern platform for organizations to streamline VM migrations and management on a trusted, more consistent foundation. By collaborating with Commvault, we're enabling enterprise-grade data protection for Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization workloads, giving users greater confidence as they run and scale their essential virtualized applications," said Ashesh Badani, Senior Vice President and Chief Product Officer, Red Hat. AvailabilityCommvault support for Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization will be available for early adopters in early summer and is targeted for general availability by early fall. Pricing is aligned with existing Commvault Kubernetes protection models. For more information about Commvault support for Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, click here.

Commvault & Deloitte unite to boost hybrid cloud cyber defence
Commvault and Deloitte have announced a strategic alliance aimed at strengthening cyber resilience and incident response capabilities for organisations operating in the hybrid cloud environment. The partnership will combine Commvault's cyber resilience and data protection solutions with Deloitte's experience in cyber defence and incident response, providing clients with end-to-end threat management services that address prevention, detection, response and recovery. The need for enhanced cyber resilience solutions comes as organisations face increasingly sophisticated and frequent cyber threats. Data from Deloitte Global's Future of Cyber 4th edition survey highlights that 43% of US respondents consider keeping pace with the evolving threat landscape as one of their top strategic challenges. Alan Atkinson, Chief Partner Officer at Commvault, commented: "Our strategic alliance with Deloitte represents a significant advancement in cyber resilience. By combining Commvault's cyber resilience technologies with Deloitte's deep technical knowledge in cyber detection and response, we are creating a formidable defence for our joint customers against today's most sophisticated cyber threats." The collaboration addresses cyber incidents across three main stages. Prior to an attack, Commvault and Deloitte assist organisations in defining their minimum viability, which includes identifying vital applications, assets, processes, and personnel required to sustain business operations following an incident. Commvault's Cleanroom Recovery can then be used to assess these critical elements and test recovery plans in advance, providing businesses with a path to rapid recovery if an attack occurs. During an active incident, the partnership leverages Deloitte's cyber risk services in combination with Commvault's artificial intelligence-driven anomaly detection. This approach helps joint clients identify and address potential threats before they escalate, supporting a proactive defence posture. In the aftermath of a cyberattack, the alliance utilises Deloitte's incident response expertise along with features of the Commvault Cloud platform such as Cloud Rewind, Clumio Backtrack, and Cleanroom Recovery. These tools are designed to support organisations in swiftly restoring operations, minimising downtime and promoting continuous business activity. David Nowak, Principal, Deloitte & Touche LLP, said: "In an era where cyber threats are more pervasive than ever, our collaboration with Commvault aims to advance cyber resilience for our joint clients. Together, we are offering a strategic and broad solution that not only helps our clients fortify their defences but also helps with recovering from outages and cyberattacks." Commvault and Deloitte intend for the alliance to support businesses as they grow, offering adaptive solutions tailored to evolving cyber risks. The partners draw upon their combined industry experience to develop insights and services that support both protection and recovery efforts, enabling organisations to maintain operational continuity.
