Commvault Cloud enables easy, secure, CIS-hardened deployment across all major cloud hyperscaler marketplaces
Commvault, a leading provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for hybrid cloud environments, has announced that its Commvault Cloud Platform can now be seamlessly deployed from major cloud marketplaces using CIS-hardened images. These images, pre-configured with the Center for Internet Security (CIS)-recommended settings and controls, will be available on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and VMware.
CIS-hardened images are designed to align with CIS Benchmarks, helping organizations mitigate cloud security risks by reducing configuration vulnerabilities. Misconfigurations, such as overly permissive network policies, are a significant security concern, contributing to 23% of cloud infrastructure attacks, according to industry research. By leveraging Commvault’s CIS-hardened images, IT and security teams can confidently deploy a secure, pre-configured environment that meets stringent security benchmarks right out of the box.
This latest development reinforces Commvault’s commitment to cybersecurity. The new deployment options complement its existing security certifications, including FedRAMP® High Authorized, ISO 27001:2013, SOC 2 Type II, and FIPS 140-2.

With the introduction of CIS-hardened images, customers can now deploy Commvault Cloud with greater confidence and benefit from:
- Pre-Built Compliance Checks – Organizations can launch secure, hardened environments immediately, ensuring their control plane adheres to industry-recognized best practices from the start.
- Enhanced Cybersecurity – The CIS-hardened images help minimize security vulnerabilities by addressing common misconfiguration risks, offering greater protection against potential cyber threats.
- Streamlined Compliance Mapping – CIS Benchmarks align with key regulatory frameworks such as NIST CSF, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and ISO 27001, simplifying compliance processes.
- Broad Marketplace Availability – Businesses can deploy Commvault Cloud directly from AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or VMware marketplaces, enabling fast, secure installations with minimal effort.
The announcement comes at a time when cloud adoption continues to accelerate. IDC forecasts that global spending on public cloud services will double to $1.6 trillion by 2028. To support this shift, Commvault has expanded its cloud-first offerings over the past year, launching innovative solutions like Cleanroom Recovery, Cloud Rewind, and Clumio Backtrack. Now, with CIS-hardened images, the company is taking cloud resilience to new heights.
“Organizations demand solutions that are not only secure and compliant but also straightforward to deploy,” said Chris Montgomery, CTO – Security, Americas at Commvault. “With CIS-hardened images, we can eliminate the guesswork, providing IT teams with a secure, pre-configured foundation to accelerate their cyber resilience strategies while meeting industry standards.”
“As a security-first organization, having confidence in how our solutions are deployed is critical,” said Marek Duranik, Storage & Data Protection Associate Director at Merck. “Commvault’s CIS-hardened images give us the assurance that we’re starting from a strong security baseline, allowing our teams to focus on protecting and recovering critical data.”
