Hello, Community! On behalf of Pranay Ahlawat, Commvault’s Chief Technology and AI Officer, and Commvault’s leadership team, we’re excited to share this announcement.
Hi everyone,
I’m excited to share some news that marks a significant and deliberate step forward in our mission to deliver industry-leading cyber resilience. We have officially completed the acquisition of Satori Cyber, a leader in data and AI security.
For our technical community, I want to be very clear about why this is more than just an acquisition—it's a strategic enhancement of our platform's core capabilities, designed for the complex realities you manage every day.
Why Satori? Why Now?
We're all witnessing the perfect storm: explosive AI adoption, relentless data growth and sprawl across multi-cloud environments, and an increasingly sophisticated threat landscape. Protecting your data has never been more critical or more complex.
The Satori acquisition is our direct response to this challenge. By integrating their technology, we are advancing our ability to provide true end-to-end data and AI security. This means moving beyond traditional backup and recovery to offer a unified platform that covers:
-
Advanced Data Discovery & Classification: Understand exactly what data you have and where it lives, which is the foundation of any robust security posture.
-
Proactive Data Access Governance: Implement a zero-trust model for your data. Satori’s capabilities allow for the enforcement of access policies in real-time, working to keep access to sensitive data limited to the right people and appliications.
-
Security for the Modern Data Stack: The platform is built for the world you operate in—cloud-native, agentless, and ready to integrate with Snowflake, Redshift, Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, and more. This isn't a legacy solution bolted on; it's designed for modern architecture.
-
AI Access Policy Management: As you leverage AI, securing the data that feeds these models is paramount. We can now help you manage and enforce policies for AI access, so your innovation doesn't come at the cost of security.
-
Expanded Coverage Across the Data Landscape: With Satori, we strengthen our value proposition by protecting structured and unstructured data, across cloud and on-premises environments, uniting both data protection and data security in one platform. This holistic coverage gives you confidence that your most critical assets are defended – no matter how or where they live.
What This Means for You, Our Technical Leaders
With Satori integrated into the Commvault Cloud platform, you gain a single, comprehensive view of your data security posture. This unified approach means less complexity, fewer point solutions to manage, and a more powerful, proactive defense against threats. It’s about giving you the tools to not only recover from an attack but to protect against it in the first place.
This is a deliberate investment in the future of cyber resilience. We are committed to providing you with the most advanced, comprehensive, and proactive platform to protect your data in the AI era.
I’m incredibly excited about the road ahead and the value this will bring to our community.

Pranay Ahlawat Chief Technology and AI Officer, Commvault
