Commvault has expanded its Cloud Rewind platform to triple its Microsoft Azure resource coverage, facilitating faster recovery of cloud applications and infrastructure. The update addresses the growing threat of AI-driven cyberattacks in the UAE by automating the discovery and reconstruction of complex cloud dependencies, significantly reducing the manual effort required for post-attack restoration.
The enhancement lands as UAE enterprises face intensifying pressure to recover at speed. The UAE Cyber Security Council has reported the country absorbing close to 800,000 cyberattacks per day, and the window between a vulnerability becoming public and being actively exploited has collapsed from around 23 days in 2025 to barely a day in 2026, according to PwC. The threat is also being amplified by AI, among UAE organizations hit by ransomware, 83% said AI made the attack more effective, according to Proofpoint’s 2026 AI-Era Ransomware Report.
Manually rebuilding environments is often slow, complex, and error-prone. According to Absolute Security’s 2026 State of Enterprise Cyber Resilience report, 57% of enterprises said recovery from a cyberattack took more than 4.5 days on average.#
Cloud Rewind addresses this by continuously discovering cloud resources, mapping application dependencies, and orchestrating the recovery and rebuild of cloud applications, including the infrastructure, configurations, and dependencies they need to operate, from a single platform. This expansion broadens Azure protection by 3X, now covering 62% of enterprise-relevant Azure resource types available in the market. Organizations can also validate recovery readiness through application recovery simulations, including within isolated, air-gapped environments, before an incident occurs.
“Across the UAE, organizations are no longer asking whether they will face an attack, but how quickly they can recover when one lands,” said Fady Richmany, Corporate Vice President and General Manager, Emerging Markets at Commvault. “Modern applications are only as resilient as the cloud infrastructure beneath them. By expanding Cloud Rewind’s Azure coverage, we are giving regional organizations a faster, more complete path back to full operations where the environment of their business runs on. It’s a capability that directly supports the national resilience agenda we are advancing alongside the UAE Cyber Security Council through our Innovation Center of Excellence in Abu Dhabi.”
