• •Data Posture 360 maps sensitive data across Microsoft 365 to prioritize risk response.

On October 15, 2026, Commvault announced new capabilities to enhance data security for Microsoft 365, which has over 450 million paid commercial seats. The new features include Commvault Threat Scan, which detects malware and other indicators of compromise across Microsoft 365 applications, and Commvault Data Posture 360, which maps sensitive data locations. These tools aim to prevent the restoration of compromised data during recovery operations, thus reducing the risk of reinfection. The Threat Scan utilizes AI and machine learning to identify unknown threats and applies current threat intelligence to historical backups. Both features are set for early access preview in the coming weeks, with general availability expected in early 2027. The enhancements are crucial as attackers frequently target Microsoft 365's email and file-sharing capabilities. Commvault's solutions are designed to provide organizations with the ability to recover only clean data, thereby ensuring operational resilience.
