Commvault expands collaboration with Google to increase cyber resilience of cloud environments.
Commvault is adding new functionalities for Google Cloud to strengthen the protection of customer data and improve the cyber resilience of companies. This step comes at a time when organizations are increasingly migrating to the cloud, increasing the need for robust security solutions against threats such as ransomware.
According to research by SentinelOne, 80 percent of the organizations surveyed worldwide are experiencing an increase in cloud attacks. In addition, industry research indicates that the average downtime after a ransomware attack is as much as 24 days, leading to significant operational disruptions.

Prevention is Important in Security, but so is Recovery
Far too long, according to Commvault, and so it is responding to these threats with new functionalities for Google Cloud users, which help organizations recover faster and meet compliance requirements.
New functionalities
Firstly, Commvault adds Air Gap Protect. This tool makes it possible to store immutable backups in a virtual air-gapped network within Google Cloud. This protects data against ransomware and insider threats by isolating it from production systems. The Archive Tier offers a compliance-ready solution for long-term data retention.
Cloud Rewind enables the recovery of cloud applications, even after a ransomware attack or implementation error. This ensures minimal downtime and guarantees business continuity. Finally, there is eDiscovery: an advanced search functionality for compliance. This makes it faster and more efficient to find relevant data for audits or legal procedures.
Availability via Google Cloud
The new Air Gap Protect functionality is immediately available for Google Cloud users. Cloud Rewind and extra Workspace protection can be purchased via the Google app store. The compliance search functionality is in ‘early access’ and is expected to be generally available in the first half of 2026.
With this expansion of the collaboration with Google Cloud, Commvault offers organizations the tools they need to strengthen their cyber resilience and protect themselves against the growing threats in the cloud.
