What is Security IQ?
Security IQ is a Commvault capability that gives teams a dashboard view of backup security posture, anomalies, and threat indicators so they can identify risk faster, improve reporting, and make better-informed recovery decisions.
What does Security IQ help teams see?
Security IQ helps teams see backup security posture issues and misconfigurations, suspicious activity, and prioritized threat indicators in one place. That visibility helps backup and security teams align faster on what needs attention first.
How is Security IQ different from Threat Scan?
Security IQ focuses on visibility, configuration and hardening, dashboards, and reporting across the backup environment. Threat Scan focuses on scanning backup data for threats to help identify trusted recovery points and reduce reinfection risk during recovery.
Who is Security IQ for?
Security IQ is built for backup administrators, infrastructure leaders, and security teams that need clearer visibility into risk, easier reporting, and a faster way to review suspicious signals affecting recoverability.
Does Security IQ replace security tools?
No. Security IQ complements broader security investments by improving backup environment visibility inside Commvault. It helps teams understand backup security posture and suspicious activity, but it should not be positioned as a replacement for the broader security stack.
