Through visualization of attack timelines, admins can pinpoint who changed what, when, and how. This helps in determining contributing factors, fix the root cause, and make sure it doesn't happen again.

On to Identity Resilience at #commvaultshift. Identity, and specifically Active Directory, are key attack vectors — being able to detect anomalies and reverse those changes in real-time are key to keeping an organization's identity source secure.

What do you think of the "ResOps" concept from #CommvaultShift ? I like the general idea but it requires buy-in from IT operations, security, and infrastructure. This is the fundamental issue for all data protection companies as they pivot to serve the needs of recovery and resilience.

3. Identity Resilience: identity is key in any environment, especially with the rise of AI agents that do the work for us. These features help enterprises detect, audit, and reverse hard-to-detect threats in identity systems like Active Directory.
— Joep Piscaer (@jpiscaer) November 19, 2025
2. Cyber Recovery: a backup isn't a backup if it's not recoverable. Commvault has an extensive suite of recovery capabilities, including Clean Room, Synthetic Recovery and more.

Sanjay talks about AI resilience to meet the scale challenge and continuously monitor environments for anomalies.AI resilience brings identity, security, and recovery together into #ResOps, or "Resilience Operations".#CommvaultSHIFT #CommvaultCloud #ResOps @commvault.bsky.social

Sanjay emphasizes the massive changes of scale brought forth by the pervasive adoption of AI, and how it impacts organizations. Orgs need to embrace AI fast, while dealing with legacy systems, technical debt, and data fragmentation.#CommvaultSHIFT #CommvaultCloud #ResOps @commvault.bsky.social

And we start immediately with Sanjay Mirchandani, CEO at Commvault, kicking off the virtual edition of SHIFT 2025. I'm expecting some key announcements across several areas today, including AI, Cyber Recovery, and more.#CommvaultSHIFT #CommvaultCloud #ResOps @commvault.bsky.social

1. AI is creating a massive volume of data, scattered across many environments. This introduces more threat vectors and attack surface for bad actors to exploit.
#CommvaultShift Synthetic recovery is something I think we've been missing for a long time. Why choose between old clean data or new, possibly tainted files? Why not have the intelligence to figure out what to clean and restore the latest versions?
— Tom Hollingsworth (@networkingnerd.net) 2025-11-19T18:14:02.804Z
complexities that come with the incredible pace of innovation of AI: new tech paradigms and architectures create unknown unknowns, data silos are still everywhere, and organizations are struggling to keep cyber resilience up to speed, while realizing it's more important than ever pic.twitter.com/4ImSd8KOMj

#CommvaultShift I like the idea of ResOps. It makes people understand how critical it is to have things running all the time without disruption.

#CommvaultShift Sanjay talking about using AI models to do the work of attacking us has become quite prescient in the past week or so. Tools will be used to do the things people want done for good and for bad.
