The Pure Report welcomes two key members of Pure's Technical specialist team, Principal Technologist Joey Clark and Field Solution Architect Drew Kessel (who covers Cyber Resilience). Our conversation begins with a look at their backgrounds, including their surprising common start in healthcare IT, and the value of professional development, like Pure's EBC speaker training. We quickly pivot to the successes Pure is seeing in the areas of file, object, and unstructured data, driven by innovative products like FlashBlade and FlashArray. The core of our discussion centers on why Pure is successfully tackling the toughest challenges in unstructured data, noting the significant shift to object storage for backup, which provides benefits like immutability via object lock. Joey and Drew highlight how Pure's unique approach—focusing on simplicity and eliminating "tech debt"—is resonating with customers and leading to major business breakthroughs. This success is made stronger by strategic partnerships with data protection leaders like Rubrik, Commvault, and Veeam, creating a connected ecosystem that delivers layered resilience against modern threats. Finally, we explores the powerful narrative of the Enterprise Data Cloud (EDC), with Fusion acting as the intelligent control plane. We discuss how Fusion is the vehicle for EDC, helping customers mitigate risk and human error through automation. This includes using presets to enforce protection policies (like SafeMode snapshots and replication) and delivering audit and compliance alerts when security settings are changed. Drew shares a powerful, real-life customer success story of an 8-hour recovery from a cyber event using Pure snapshots, emphasizing that cyber resilience is a unified team sport that requires both infrastructure and security teams to collaborate.

At AWS re:Invent I spoke to Woon Ho Jung, CTO for Cloud Native at Commvault, to talk about how they are helping AWS customers protect more than just one type of workloadWe spoke about how they started with BackTrack for S3 and now support DynamoDB and Apache Iceberg, and what real problem that solves when your data is spread across so many services!For teams who are new to Apache Iceberg on AWS, I asked Woon to break down the basics. What do you need in place so that recovery is not a theory, but something you can rely on when a table, job, or pipeline goes wrong!If you care about resilience across modern AWS workloads, this one will be worth watching.#data #ai #awsreinvent #aws #agents Amazon Web Services (AWS) AWS Partners AWS Events #awspartners #awscompetencypartners #agenticai #theravitshow

AI workloads do not fail where people expect. They fail where resilience was never designed in. At AWS re:Invent, I spoke with my friend Michael Fasulo, Senior Director for Portfolio, AI Resilience and ResOps, Commvault to understand where AI systems on AWS are actually breaking and what teams should do differently.This conversation was practical and grounded in what customers are seeing today. We covered- Where resilience breaks first in real world AI workloads running on AWS- What ResOps means in simple terms and why it is becoming essential for AWS customers running AI at scale- How architects should think about recovery when AI spreads across S3, DynamoDB, and Iceberg based data lakes- The design rules that make recovery easier instead of more complex- The most important AI driven resilience capability Commvault is building into its AWS portfolio over the next yearIf you are building AI on AWS and assuming resilience will take care of itself, this conversation is a good wake up call.#data #ai #awsreinvent #aws #agents #awspartners #awscompetencypartners #agenticai #theravitshow

Winning AWS Storage Partner of the Year does not happen by accident. It happens because real customers see real value. Commvault did it!!!! At AWS re: Invent, I spoke to John Drake, Head of WW AWS Storage Data Protection at AWS, and Elliot Hujarski, VP, Global SaaS GTM at Commvault, to talk about how this partnership actually works behind the scenes.We spoke about • What it took for Commvault to be named Global AWS Storage Partner of the Year and the journey behind that recognition • How the Commvault and AWS partnership is structured and what each side brings to the table • The concrete ways customers are benefiting, from data protection and backup to cyber recovery and resilience on AWS • How this partnership helps customers simplify complexity while keeping their data safe and ready for AI and analytics • What is coming next and how they plan to expand the joint value for customers in the months aheadIf you care about how to protect and manage data at scale on AWS, this one will be useful.#data #ai #awsreinvent #aws #agents #awspartners #awscompetencypartners #agenticai #theravitshow

I had a chance to attend and cover SHIFT by Commvault in New York last week. I just spoke to Tim Zonca, VP of Product Marketing at Commvault, to talk ResOps, Keynote takeaways and more.What we covered• ResOps in one line and why it matters now• How the Unity Platform turns resilience into daily practice across cloud, SaaS, and on-prem• Synthetic Recovery and what it does to RTO and incident playbooks• Identity resilience for AD with real-time detection and safe rollback• Cloud-native protection with cost and energy views that drive smarter policiesLeaders want AI speed with clean recovery and tighter identity control. Tim breaks down how Unity brings these pieces together so teams can move fast and stay safe. Simple language. Clear outcomes. No hype.My takeSynthetic Recovery plus Cleanroom is a real shift. The AD rollback story closes a gap I see in many incident reviews. The cost and energy view belongs in every daily dashboard!!!!The interview is live now.

Most companies think they have a backup problem. What they really have is a recovery problem. I spent the day at Commvault SHIFT, on the ground talking to customers, partners and the Commvault team. I also spoke with Darren Thomson, Field CTO at Commvault, for a focused chat on what they announced and what it means in the middle of real attacks and real pressure on IT teams.In the interview, we got into:-- The new Unity Platform and why Commvault is trying to bring data security, data access, identity patterns and cyber recovery into one view-- How they are thinking about very fast, clean recovery after an attack, not just “we have backups somewhere”-- Cloud Native Protection and what that actually changes for existing customers and large enterprises already deep into cloud-- Identity Resilience and why identity is now part of the data security story, not a separate topic-- Synthetic Recovery and how they use ML signals from anomalies, entropy, threat scans and third party tools to compose a clean state across multiple backup points-- Real world use cases from regulated industries, where downtime and data loss are simply not an optionWhat I liked most is that this was not only about shiny new features, but about how security, backup and AI are starting to come together in one place. For teams who are tired of stitching ten tools to get back up after an attack, this direction will be interesting to watch.If you care about data, security and recovery, this is worth your time.Check out all the announcements links in the comments!#data #ai #cloud #security #cybersecurity #recovery #resilience #commvault #shift2025 #shift #theravitshow

Cyber resilience is no longer optional—it's mission-critical for every modern organization. As CFO of Commvault, Jennifer DiRico is helping shape the future of how companies protect, rebuild, and grow after cyber threats. In this episode, Jennifer opens up about her journey from working in her family's car wash to leading finance at one of the world's top data security and AI firms. She reflects on the decade-long ride at Toast that led to its IPO, the mentors who shaped her as a leader, and how she's driving durable growth at Commvault through innovation and trust. Jennifer also shares how she sees AI empowering—not replacing—finance professionals, and why understanding the “why” behind the numbers is the real hallmark of great financial leadership.

In this episode of Lock It Down with Security Magazine, Managing Editor Jordyn Alger speaks with Bill O'Connell, Chief Security Officer (CSO) of Commvault, about his experiences with the evolution of the CSO role.

Zero Trust isn't just about defense - it's about unlocking new capabilities across even the most legacy-heavy federal systems. When agencies move to a Zero Trust Architecture, the benefits go far beyond stronger cybersecurity. Integrating decades-old systems into a Zero Trust framework can actually centralize data, create consistency, and open new paths to modernization. This week on Feds At the Edge, Sean Phuphanich, Principal Technologist at AWS, explains how synthetic data can safely demonstrate cloud scalability in non-production environments, while Richard Breakiron, Senior Director, Strategic Initiatives, Americas Public Sector, Commvault, offers candid insight into why no single vendor has all the answers. His advice? Collaborate across agencies to tap into shared experience and proven solutions. Tune in on your favorite podcast today as we explore how Zero Trust can be both a security strategy and a powerful engine for modernization across government. Plus, learn about a free AWS assessment tool that can help your agency gauge its Zero Trust maturity and chart a clear path forward.

Intel is cutting about 24,000 jobs this year—roughly a quarter of its core workforce—as part of a major restructuring led by new CEO Lip-Bu Tan. The company is canceling projects in Germany and Poland, downsizing operations in Costa Rica, and slowing construction in Ohio. Intel says it overbuilt before securing enough demand and now aims to focus spending more carefully. Despite the cuts, Intel lost $2.9 billion last quarter, though it expects to save $17 billion this year and stay on track with upcoming chips like Panther Lake and Nova Lake.

At the Pax8 Beyond conference, two dynamic leaders—Anna Griffin of Commvault and Colin Britton of Devicie—shared how their organizations are helping businesses regain control and accelerate outcomes in an ever-evolving tech and security landscape. In Part One of this special episode, Anna highlights Commvault's evolution to becoming a leader in cyber resilience. With the introduction of the world's first recovery range, Commvault focuses on helping organizations quickly recover from cyber incidents and human errors. Her message was clear: to regain lost data and brand trust, companies must be properly positioned, deliver consistent value, and lead with purpose. Marketing, in this context, is no longer about noise but about impact—creating a resilient narrative that drives measurable outcomes across customer workflows. In Part Two, Colin Britton emphasized how Devicie fills a critical operational gap by helping MSPs shift from reactive IT support to a proactive, endpoint strategy consultant. Learn about their U.S. expansion goals and the release of a Windows 11 Migration Kit, further showing its commitment to helping MSPs scale, stay secure, and move faster. Both conversations underscore that in today's high-risk, high-demand environment, leaders must not only recover quickly from setbacks but also position themselves to accelerate meaningful, long-term outcomes.

In this episode of The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast, we discuss some intel being shared in the LimaCharlie community.Since March 2025, Volexity has tracked an escalation in sophisticated phishing campaigns executed by two suspected Russian threat actors, UTA0352 and UTA0355, targeting the Microsoft 365 accounts of individuals connected to Ukraine and human rights organizations. A recent security assessment by watchTowr uncovered a pre-authenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in Commvault's on-premise Backup and Recovery solution (Innovation Release 11.38.20). CISA has added two SonicWall vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, indicating an escalation in exploitation activity against the vendor's SMA series of secure remote access appliances. Bot traffic has overtaken legitimate human use on the internet, with the latest data showing that automated traffic now accounts for 51% of all internet activity—of which 37% is classified as malicious.

Intel is still looking to smooth out their operations under new CEO Lip-Bu Tan. The announcement came last week that Intel is going to be cutting more positions. Initial reports rumored that it could be as much 20,000 employees but CFO David Zinsner refuted that number last Friday. Instead, each department will assess their structure and decide whether to cut positions or offer voluntary packages. Zinsner cautioned that not all buyout offers would be accepted. Additionally, early retirements would not be offered, as previously these had led to other issues in the long term. This and more on the Tech Field Day News Rundown.
