Commvault Integrates CloudSEK Intelligence to Counter Credential-Based Cyberattacks

Commvault has announced an integration with CloudSEK aimed at helping enterprises detect and respond to cyberattacks driven by stolen or exposed credentials.

The integration brings CloudSEK’s dark-web monitoring and predictive threat intelligence into Commvault’s Active Directory security tools, enabling organizations to identify compromised accounts earlier and respond before attackers exploit them.

Cybersecurity researchers say identity systems have increasingly become a major target for attackers. According to industry estimates cited by the companies, about 80 percent of security breaches involve compromised credentials, while more than 24 billion stolen credentials are currently circulating on dark-web marketplaces, stealer logs and underground forums.

The integration is designed to correlate external threat signals — such as credentials found on the dark web — with internal identity data from enterprise systems. This allows security teams to quickly identify exposed user accounts and take remedial action, including disabling accounts, resetting passwords or reversing malicious changes within Active Directory environments.

By combining external intelligence with internal monitoring, the system also prioritizes vulnerabilities across internal systems, public exposures and dark-web sources, providing security teams with guidance on the most critical risks.

Executives at both companies said the move reflects the changing nature of cyber threats, as attackers increasingly use automation and artificial intelligence to accelerate credential theft and exploitation.

Pranay Ahlawat, Chief Technology and AI Officer at Commvault, said the integration would help organizations detect identity risks earlier and prevent attackers from escalating privileges, launching ransomware attacks or exfiltrating data.

Nivya Ravi, AVP for Partnerships at CloudSEK, said combining external threat intelligence with enterprise security systems can help companies shift from reactive incident response to proactive threat disruption.

The collaboration highlights a growing focus in the cybersecurity industry on identity protection, as compromised credentials continue to serve as a primary entry point for cyberattacks.
