Commvault Integrates CloudSEK to Strengthen Identity Threat Detection

Commvault has announced a new integration with CloudSEK aimed at helping enterprises proactively detect and prevent identity-based cyberattacks driven by stolen or exposed credentials. By combining Commvault’s identity protection capabilities with CloudSEK’s predictive threat intelligence, the collaboration aims to strengthen organizations’ defenses against one of today’s fastest-growing cyber risks.

As cyber threats evolve, identity systems such as Active Directory have become a primary target for attackers. In fact, compromised credentials now play a role in the majority of security breaches. At the same time, billions of stolen credentials circulate across dark web marketplaces, underground forums, and malware “stealer” logs. Consequently, organizations must identify exposed credentials much earlier in the attack chain to prevent serious damage.

Moreover, the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence by cybercriminals has dramatically accelerated attack timelines. Previously, attackers might have taken weeks or even months to exploit leaked credentials. However, AI-driven automation now enables adversaries to weaponize exposed credentials within hours. Because of this shrinking response window, companies need real-time visibility into identity threats both inside and outside their networks.

To address this challenge, the new integration embeds CloudSEK’s Dark Web Credential Intelligence directly into Commvault’s Active Directory Vulnerability Assessments and Active Directory Advanced Audit and Anomaly Detection tools. As a result, organizations can correlate external exposure data with internal identity telemetry to identify compromised accounts much earlier.

Once the system detects exposed credentials, security teams can take immediate action to reduce risk. For example, administrators can disable accounts, lock compromised credentials, enforce password resets, or roll back unauthorized modifications within Active Directory. These actions help prevent attackers from escalating privileges, launching ransomware campaigns, or exfiltrating sensitive data.

In addition, the integration provides automated risk scoring and prioritization across multiple environments, including internal networks, public sources, and the dark web. This unified visibility helps eliminate guesswork and allows security teams to focus on the most critical threats first. Clear remediation guidance further enables faster response and more efficient threat mitigation.

“By integrating CloudSEK’s external exposure threat intelligence with Commvault’s Active Directory protection capabilities, we’re expanding customers’ ability to uncover hidden identity risks earlier and neutralize identity-based threats before they escalate – critical as attacks become more AI-driven and agentic,” said Pranay Ahlawat, Chief Technology and AI Officer at Commvault.

Through this collaboration, Commvault also strengthens its broader strategy of delivering proactive cyber resilience solutions. Instead of reacting after a breach occurs, the platform enables organizations to identify weak points within identity systems and fix them before attackers can exploit them.

“In today’s AI-driven threat landscape, partnerships are critical to closing the gap between external intelligence and internal action,” said Nivya Ravi, AVP – Partnerships at CloudSEK. “By embedding CloudSEK’s predictive threat intelligence into enterprise security workflows, we enable organizations to act on exposed credentials and identity risks before attackers can operationalize them. This is about shifting from reactive detection to proactive disruption.”

Ultimately, the partnership highlights a growing industry shift toward proactive identity security. By integrating external threat intelligence with internal identity monitoring, enterprises can significantly improve their ability to detect credential exposure early and stop identity-driven attacks before they escalate into full-scale breaches.
