Commvault and BeyondTrust strengthen access security

"With this link, companies aim to help customers enhance their security, further mitigate risks, and improve the efficiency of data recovery. The partnership addresses a growing challenge within IT environments: managing identities and access rights. While securing user data has always been complex, the rapid increase in machine identities adds an extra dimension. Applications, scripts, and automated services use temporary or permanent login credentials. These are often insufficiently visible, creating a large and often underestimated attack surface for cybercriminals."

"According to David Manks, vice president of Strategic Alliances at BeyondTrust, organizations are facing an increasingly complex identity landscape. Every user, application, machine, or even agentic AI identity poses a potential risk. He believes that integration with Commvault Cloud gives customers insight and control when managing privileged access in backup and recovery environments. This increases resilience against cyber threats. Centralized management of login credentials The power of the collaboration lies in combining the scalability and flexibility of Commvault Cloud with the transparency and control of Password Safe."

A strategic integration links Commvault Cloud with BeyondTrust Password Safe to centralize credential management and strengthen backup and recovery security. The solution issues unique, temporary credentials for specific tasks to reduce the risk of stolen or reused passwords. Centralized control and a full audit trail support compliance and reporting requirements. The integration addresses growing complexity from machine identities, automated scripts, and agentic AI, which expand attack surfaces. The combined platform also brings together data protection, AI capabilities, threat detection, and incident response to protect backup environments and broader workloads while improving recovery efficiency.
