As AI accelerates both innovation and risk, cyber resilience has become an urgent business imperative. Organizations must protect critical data, detect threats, and recover quickly to stay operational.

Michelle Graff, Senior Vice President at Commvault, argues cyber readiness must shift from a last-line recovery measure to an always-on operational priority. "We're calling it a ResOps model - a continuous closed loop around resiliency ops," she said.

Gagan Gulati, Senior Vice President at NetApp, highlights the speed of modern threats. "With AI, attackers can completely ruin your infrastructure within hours," Gulati stated. "That's why this closed-loop architecture of detecting threats early and recovering immediately is a game changer."

Through their partnership, NetApp and Commvault are combining primary-storage threat detection and recovery orchestration. The joint approach connects NetApp's Autonomous Ransomware Protection with Commvault's threat-aware backup and Synthetic Recovery.

The integration's value lies in automation. When NetApp detects a threat, signals are sent directly to Commvault's control plane, triggering backup and recovery workflows instantly-eliminating hours of manual assessment. This minimizes the blast radius and enables a clean recovery, preventing reinfection.

"We can minimize the blast radius and then recover not only just quickly, but cleanly," Graff concluded.
