Commvault, a leader in unified resilience at enterprise scale, announced a new partnership and technology integration with Delinea, a leader in privileged access management (PAM). The integration connects the Commvault Cloud platform with Delinea’s Secret Server, helping joint customers strengthen credential security, support compliance initiatives, and streamline data recovery.

Securing user credentials is already a familiar challenge for many organizations and is compounded by the proliferation of non-human, machine identities – used by applications, scripts, and automated services. In 2024, nearly one-third (33%) of security incidents stemmed from compromised privileged identities. Bad actors know that once credentials are granted or stolen and privileged access is achieved, the door is open to launch attacks that can go unnoticed for some time.

In partnering with Delinea, Commvault is extending new privileged access management capabilities into the Commvault Cloud platform, helping customers to:

  • Centralize credential management: Manage and rotate credentials for backup environments from a single platform, securely store, rotate, and govern the credentials required across your data protection environment within a centralized secrets vault, reducing operational complexity and eliminating unmanaged or orphaned accounts.
  • Just-in-Time (JIT) access: Automatically issue temporary credentials for each backup or restore job, revoking access upon completion to minimize misuse.
  • Strengthen audit and compliance capabilities: Enforce least privilege access – only the access you need, only when you need it – and have the ability to generate detailed audit logs to support compliance initiatives including SOX, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and GDPR.

These capabilities deliver significant benefits, including reduced risk of downtime, stronger support for compliance objectives, increased IT efficiency, and faster threat response.

“Commvault unifies data security, identity resilience, and cyber recovery on one platform – and continues to expand the power of the platform through integrations that deliver exceptional value for customers,” said Alan Atkinson, Chief Business Development Officer, Commvault. “Our integration with Delinea strengthens customers’ ability to manage credentials and limit privilege misuse, which can help protect against rapidly evolving identity-driven attacks while advancing unified resilience.”

“True cyber resilience depends on both the ability to recover data and the security of the recovery process itself,” said Chris Kelly, President at Delinea. “By extending our privileged access management capabilities to Commvault Cloud, we are advancing identity security, reducing the risks of manual backup credential management, and helping to ensure that recovery systems remain trustworthy and ready when needed the most.”

The Commvault Cloud integration with Delinea is available globally to joint customers at no extra cost. The strategic expansion of Commvault’s security ecosystem continues to enhance the company’s security-related capabilities and helps security and IT teams stay resilient in a world of escalating threats.
