Commvault Cloud enables easy, secure,
CIS-hardened deployment across all major cloud hyperscaler
marketplaces
TINTON
FALLS, N.J., Feb. 10,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Commvault, a leading
provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for the
hybrid cloud, today announced that the Commvault Cloud Platform can
be easily deployed from major cloud marketplaces utilizing
CIS-hardened images. These CIS-hardened images are
pre-configured with CIS-recommended settings and controls and will
be available on the following marketplaces: Amazon Web Services
(AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and VMware.
CIS-hardened images are software files that are pre-configured
to align with the Center for Internet Security (CIS) Benchmarks.
Hardening helps reduce configuration vulnerabilities, such as
overly-permissive network policies that can create opportunities
for malicious actors. In fact, configuration errors are one of the
most common causes of cloud vulnerabilities, contributing to 23% of
cloud infrastructure attacks, according to industry
research.1 Commvault's CIS-hardened images are designed
to reduce these risks by pre-configuring deployment to meet
rigorous security benchmarks out-of-the-box, bringing confidence to
IT and security teams.
With today's announcement, Commvault continues to deliver on its
cybersecurity focus, with these deployment options joining other
security certifications, such as FedRAMP® High
Authorized, ISO27001:2013, SOC 2, Type II, and FIPS 140-2, among
others. Customers will be able to use the new CIS-hardened images
to quickly and confidently configure and deploy Commvault Cloud and
benefit from:
- Pre-built Compliance Checks: CIS-hardened images provide
organizations with secure, hardened environments from the moment of
deployment and give customers confidence their control plane has
been installed and configured using industry-recognized best
practices.
- Enhanced Cybersecurity: The CIS-hardened images minimize
vulnerabilities by addressing common misconfiguration risks,
offering peace of mind against attacker exploitation.
- Streamlined Compliance Mapping: CIS Benchmarks are
mapped to key security frameworks such as NIST CSF, HIPAA, PCI-DSS,
and ISO 27001, simplifying adherence to complex regulatory
requirements.
- Broad Marketplace Availability: Organizations will be
able to deploy Commvault Cloud directly from AWS, Azure, Google
Cloud, or VMware marketplaces, enabling fast and secure
installations with minimal effort.
The timing of this announcement also comes as more and more
organizations are accelerating their move to the cloud. In fact,
according to IDC, spending on public cloud services is expected to
double to $1.6 trillion by
2028.2 In the last year, Commvault has introduced a
host of cloud-first offerings designed to make customers more
resilient in the cloud, including Cleanroom Recovery, Cloud Rewind,
and Clumio Backtrack. Now, the company is taking resilience in the
cloud to the next level via CIS-hardened images for popular cloud
marketplaces.
"Organizations demand solutions that are not only secure and
compliant but also straightforward to deploy," said Chris Montgomery, CTO – Security, Americas at
Commvault. "With CIS-hardened images, we can eliminate the
guesswork, providing IT teams with a secure, pre-configured
foundation to accelerate their cyber resilience strategies while
meeting industry standards."
"As a security-first organization, having confidence in how our
solutions are deployed is critical," said Marek Duranik, Storage & Data Protection
Associate Director at Merck. "Commvault's CIS-hardened images give
us the assurance that we're starting from a strong security
baseline, allowing our teams to focus on protecting and recovering
critical data."
Availability and Pricing
Commvault's CIS-hardened
images will be available globally this quarter and at no additional
cost to customers. Built on a hardened Rocky Linux 8 operating
system, the images are designed to protect both the software and
infrastructure layers.
