Commvault to boost data security capabilities with Satori Cyber buyout

The deal is expected to close next month

Cyber resilience and data protection vendor Commvault has announced its intent to acquire data and AI security company Satori Cyber (Satori).

This buyout will aim to enhance Commvault’s ability to help enterprises support compliance requirements, mitigate risks, and control access to sensitive data in the age of AI.

It also includes LLM monitoring and prompt protection, automated discovery, classification, and access management for structured data.

The integration of Satori’s technology is expected to boost Commvault Cloud’s capabilities in three areas.

It will aim to support cloud-native environments and data platforms such as Snowflake, Redshift, Databricks, and Microsoft Fabric through its agentless design and native integrations tailored to simplify policy enforcement, data masking, and access governance at scale.

Satori’s tools will also aim to equip Commvault with upgraded functionality for identifying, classifying, and securing sensitive data stored in cloud-native databases, data warehouses, and analytics platforms.

Finally, the merger will reportedly bring AI-specific security features, including the ability to monitor data used in LLMs, evaluate associated risks, and support compliant data recovery processes.

“By integrating Satori’s real-time, agentless controls and deep visibility into structured and AI training data, we’re extending our cyber resilience into the data layer, enabling secure data access, AI governance, and policy enforcement across platforms like Snowflake, Redshift, and Databricks to reduce risk and drive compliant innovation,” said Rajiv Kottomtharayil, chief product officer at Commvault (pictured).

Eldad Chai, CEO and co-founder of Satori, added: “Our next-generation AI capabilities integrated into Commvault’s cyber resilience platform will offer customers a unified approach to securing sensitive data and AI pipelines, from discovery to governance and from access management to cyber recovery.”

The acquisition is expected to close in August 2025.

This marks the firm’s first acquisition since the one of AWS-focused Clumio for about $47m (£34.93m) in September last year.

In April 2024, it also purchased cloud cyber resilience technology provider Appranix.
