Commvault Introduces New Post-Quantum Cryptography Capabilities
Commvault has announced enhancements to its post-quantum cryptography (PQC) capabilities. These advancements are designed to help customers protect their highly sensitive, long-term data from a new generation of imminent but unknown cyber threats, creating an additional layer of support, when needed. Quantum computing uses quantum mechanics to process data and solve complex problems that could take decades with classical computers. However, these advancements bring unprecedented security challenges, along with the potential for threat actors to use quantum computing to decipher and unlock traditional encryption methods. According to the Information Systems Audit and Control Association's (ISACA) Quantum Computing Pulse Poll, 63% of technology and cybersecurity professionals say quantum will increase or shift cybersecurity risks and 50% believe it will present regulatory and compliance challenges. Now is the time to prepare and take action. Commvault has provided support for quantum-resistant encryption standards, like CRYSTALS-Kyber, CRYSTALS-Dilithium, SPHINCS+, and FALCON, as recommended by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) since August 2024. It was then that Commvault introduced a cryptographic agility (crypto-agility) framework, enabling its customers, via the Commvault Cloud platform, to address rapidly evolving threats without overhauling their systems. With today's announcement, Commvault has built on that framework by adding support for Hamming Quasi-Cyclic (HQC), a new error correcting code-based algorithm designed to defend against threats like 'harvest now, decrypt later' where adversaries are intercepting encrypted network traffic and storing it for a later time when quantum computers are powerful enough to decrypt it. 'The quantum threat isn't theoretical,' said Bill O'Connell, Chief Security Officer at Commvault. 'We were among the first cyber resilience vendors to address post-quantum computing, and by integrating new algorithms like HQC and advancing our crypto-agility framework, we are providing our customers with the tools to navigate this complex landscape with confidence. Our goal is simple and clear: as quantum computing threats emerge, we intend to help our customers keep their data protected.' For industries where long-term data storage is required, like finance and healthcare, Commvault's expanded post-quantum cryptography capabilities provide access to a variety of safeguards that can help fortify network tunnels against quantum-based attacks. With Commvault's Risk Analysis capabilities, customers can discover and classify data to determine where these cryptographic capabilities may be helpful. In addition, Commvault's capabilities are simple to implement, often using a checkbox configuration, making it easy for customers to utilize when needed. The evolving quantum landscape – the need for speed As investments pour into the quantum field, the time to address emerging threats is shrinking. This makes proactive adoption of post-quantum cryptography critical. 'Quantum readiness has become a business imperative, particularly for industries which handle data that remains sensitive for decades. The time when currently encrypted data can be decrypted using quantum technology is closer than many people think,' said Phil Goodwin, Research VP, IDC. 'Commvault's early adoption of quantum-resistant cryptography and commitment to crypto-agility positions it at the forefront among data protection software vendors in proactively addressing quantum threats. Organizations with sensitive, long-term data need to prepare now for a quantum world.' 'Commvault has been an invaluable partner in our journey to enhance cyber resilience. Their leadership in adopting post-quantum cryptography, combined with their crypto-agility framework, is exactly what we need to meet stringent government security mandates and protect highly sensitive information from emerging quantum threats,' said Jeff Day, Deputy Chief Information Security Officer, Nevada Department of Transportation. 'Safeguarding sensitive data is paramount, and the long-term threat of quantum decryption is a significant concern. Commvault's rapid integration of NIST's quantum-resistant standards, particularly HQC, gives us great confidence that our critical information is protected now and well into the future,' said Peter Hands, Chief Information Security Officer, British Medical Association. 'Their commitment to crypto-agility is important for healthcare organizations like ours.' Availability Commvault's post-quantum cryptography capabilities, including support for NIST's HQC algorithm, are immediately available to all Commvault Cloud customers running software version CPR 2024 (11.36) and later, enabling seamless adoption of quantum-resistant protection.

As 57% of cybersecurity teams report being understaffed and 41% cite time commitment as the primary challenge in conducting annual cyber risk assessments, demand for automated compliance tools is rising, according to a report by global IT governance and security association ISACA. The company said it aims to fill that gap with a platform that streamlines risk assessments, monitors regulatory shifts, and automates audit workflows. According to Compyl, the platform offers real-time risk detection, automated compliance benchmarking for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR, and AI-guided remediation tools — all without the extensive customization often required by legacy GRC systems. The global enterprise GRC market was valued at $62.92 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $134.86 billion by 2030, growing at a 13.2% CAGR, according to Grand View Research. Trending: Invest where it hurts — and help millions heal:. Amid this expansion, Compyl is emerging as a disruptive force in the GRC space, setting itself apart with no-code customization, real-time monitoring, and a transparent pricing model tailored to mid-market and fast-growing organizations. Founded in 2020 by former chief information security officers Stas Bojoukha and Simon Shaddock, Compyl has doubled its customer base for two consecutive years and achieved triple-digit annual recurring revenue growth, the company said. Looking ahead, Compyl said it plans to introduce an AI-powered "Compliance Copilot" feature in the third quarter of 2025 and expand into the Asia-Pacific region and regulated industries such as healthcare and fintech by 2026.
