Commvault, which positions itself as a leading provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for the hybrid cloud, today announced an expanded partnership with CrowdStrike, a global leader in cyber security. Together, the companies are delivering a trusted pathway to CrowdStrike’s elite incident response services, supported by Commvault’s recovery expertise – helping organisations worldwide recover faster and stay better prepared for cyber attacks.

Through this expanded partnership, the two companies are delivering co-ordinated cyber recovery and incident response services to help joint customers improve readiness, respond faster and achieve cleaner recoveries.

With ransomware attacks happening every 14 seconds(1) and average recovery times spanning 24 days,(2) IT and security teams, as well as system integrators, are looking for vendors who are collaborating and combining best-in-class services and solutions. These efforts not only address what happens before and during an attack, but also support recovery when it becomes a critical lifeline for organisations.

“Today’s threat landscape demands more than just security – it requires resilience,” said Alan Atkinson, Chief Partner Officer at Commvault. “Our expanded partnership with CrowdStrike brings together exceptional incident response capabilities from CrowdStrike and leading data recovery and resilience solutions from Commvault to help joint customers identify and quickly address cyber incidents and recover swiftly and effectively.”

“Cyber resilience isn’t just about recovery, it’s about being ready at every stage of an attack,” said Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer at CrowdStrike. “Our expanded partnership with Commvault brings together industry-leading threat intelligence, incident response expertise and robust recovery capabilities to help organisations identify risks faster, recover smarter and strengthen their overall security posture. In an AI-accelerated world of relentless and sophisticated threats, security and IT teams need to operate as one, and this collaboration helps make that possible.”

This expanded partnership delivers a unified suite of services, including CrowdStrike’s elite incident response services and Commvault’s Guardian retainer-based services offerings, which provide readiness assessments, recovery validation, recovery testing and incident response recovery assistance. For customers, this means:

• Faster incident response and recovery: In the event of a cyber incident, CrowdStrike’s real-time threat visibility pinpoints the scope of the attack, while Commvault’s recovery solutions enable rapid restoration. This integrated approach streamlines the incident response process and helps minimise disruption.
• Enhanced risk mitigation: Jointly conducted cyber resilience maturity assessments and advanced scenario-based readiness exercises – including continuous recovery testing with Cleanroom Recovery – strengthen cyber resilience.
• Unified incident management: Integrated response workflows between Commvault and CrowdStrike enable faster collaboration during crises, accelerating time to resolution for joint customers.
• Tailored support and scalability: Commvault’s incident response recovery services provide scalable, subscription-based support tailored to each customer’s specific resilience needs.
• Access to industry expertise: Customers benefit from the combined expertise of Commvault and CrowdStrike, with tailored guidance and hands-on support from trusted cyber security and recovery professionals.

Today’s announcement builds on existing integrations between Commvault and CrowdStrike, including an integration between Commvault Cloud and the AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon cyber security platform.
