Commvault, a provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for the hybrid Cloud; and BeyondTrust, a provider of identity security protecting Paths to Privilege, have announced a strategic integration between the Commvault Cloud cyber resilience platform and BeyondTrust Password Safe privileged access management (PAM) solution on the BeyondTrust Pathfinder Platform. This collaboration is designed for customers to further mitigate risks, improve security posture; and enhance data recovery efficiency.
As cyber threats continue to evolve, organisations are working tirelessly to ensure only authorised users with the right level of privilege have access to their data. While securing user credentials is a familiar challenge, the proliferation of non-human, machine identities – used by applications, scripts and automated services – creates a vast and often misunderstood attack surface.
“Today’s organisations are facing increasingly complex identity environments, with every human, machine, application and agentic AI identity representing a potential threat. This new integration between BeyondTrust and Commvault provides our customers with exceptional visibility and control in managing privileged access within their backup and recovery environments, while advancing cyber resilience via Commvault Cloud,” said David Manks, VP, Strategic Alliances, BeyondTrust.
With this announcement, Commvault and BeyondTrust are said to be overcoming this challenge by combining the security, scalability and flexibility of Commvault Cloud with the simplicity, visibility and control provided by Password Safe, to:
- Centralise Credential Management: Securely manage credentials from a single, secure and centralised location.
- Leverage Just-in-Time (JIT) Access: Grant unique, temporary credentials that are valid only for that specific task. This “just-in-time” approach is designed to automatically revoke access once the job is complete, reducing the risk of credential misuse or account hijacking.
- Strengthen Audit and Compliance Capabilities: Maintain a detailed audit trail and support compliance objectives. The integration helps organizations enforce principles like least privilege and role-based access, automatically rotate passwords, and securely control third-party access.
- Advance Cyber Resilience via Commvault Cloud: Leverage a unified platform that seamlessly combines AI, data protection, threat detection and response, to help secure all environments, workloads, and mission-critical datasets.
“Securing access points is a critical component of a cyber resilience strategy,” said Alan Atkinson, Chief Business Development Officer, Commvault. “In partnering with BeyondTrust, we provide customers innovative options to manage privileged access within their backup and recovery environments in order to combat threats tied to stolen logins and unauthorised access.”
