Insights
This strategic move by Commvault represents a significant market positioning effort in the rapidly evolving cloud security landscape. By offering CIS-hardened images across all major cloud platforms, Commvault is addressing a $1.6 trillion cloud services market opportunity by 2028, according to IDC's projections.
The technical implementation is particularly noteworthy for three reasons:
- The pre-configured security settings significantly reduce deployment risks, addressing the 23% of cloud infrastructure attacks that originate from configuration errors
- The integration with Rocky Linux 8 provides a robust, enterprise-grade foundation that enhances the overall security posture
- The broad marketplace availability across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and VMware eliminates friction in the deployment process while maintaining security standards
The decision to offer these hardened images at no additional cost is a calculated strategic move. It serves multiple purposes: protecting existing revenue streams by increasing customer stickiness, reducing barriers to adoption for new customers and positioning Commvault as a market leader in secure cloud deployments. This aligns with their recent cloud-first initiatives like Cleanroom Recovery and Cloud Rewind, creating a comprehensive security ecosystem.
The timing is particularly strategic given the increasing regulatory focus on cloud security and the rising costs of cybersecurity incidents. By simplifying compliance with major frameworks like NIST CSF and HIPAA, Commvault is reducing the operational overhead for enterprises while strengthening their competitive moat in the enterprise backup and recovery market.
Commvault Cloud enables easy, secure, CIS-hardened deployment across all major cloud hyperscaler marketplaces
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
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
"Organizations demand solutions that are not only secure and compliant but also straightforward to deploy," said Chris Montgomery, CTO – Security,
"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."
