Cyber resilience company Commvault has reached an agreement to acquire data and AI security firm Satori Cyber.

The deal, which is expected to close in August, will see Satori’s large language model (LLM) monitoring and other AI-focused solutions integrated into Commvault’s Cloud.

To improve the performance of AI tools to align with business needs, enterprises are increasingly using techniques like retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to give generative AI systems access to their broader data pools. However, such increased access could lead to unwanted data leakage.

Commvault’s Satori integration aims to help enterprises manage security and data access when it comes to AI across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Its users will be able to classify and protect sensitive data across their databases and warehouses to limit access and prevent that data from inadvertently ending up in model training materials.

“As enterprises accelerate AI and modern data platform adoption, securing sensitive data across distributed environments grows increasingly complex,” Commvault Chief Product Officer Rajiv Kottomtharayil explained. “By integrating Satori’s real-time, agentless controls and deep visibility into structured and AI training data, we’re extending our cyber resilience into the data layer – enabling secure data access, AI governance, and policy enforcement across platforms like Snowflake, Redshift, and Databricks to reduce risk and drive compliant innovation.”

Satori was founded in 2019 by Eldad Chai and Yoav Cohen, who both previously worked at cybersecurity software firm Imperva. They raised $20 million in a Series A round co-led by B Capital Group, the venture capital firm established by Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin, and Evolution Equity Partners, which counts British startup Quantexa among its prior investments.

No financial details of its acquisition by Commvault were disclosed.

“Rapidly incorporating AI comes with risks,” Chai said. “Our next-generation AI capabilities integrated into Commvault’s cyber resilience platform will offer customers a unified approach to securing sensitive data and AI pipelines – from discovery to governance and from access management to cyber recovery.”

The news follows Commvault deepening ties with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), with the former offering HPE Zerto Software to support its cloud customers managing virtualized on-premises and cloud workloads.
