LUMEN VALIDATED DESIGN FOR CYBER RESILIENCE WITH COMMVAULT
Lumen + Commvault: Architectures tested for enterprise-grade resilience
Your business is only as strong as its security strategy. When backup systems are scattered and threats keep evolving, businesses need more than patchwork protection—they need a recovery framework proven under real-world pressure. Lumen® Validated Design (LVD) for Cyber Resilience with Commvault features an outcome-driven solution architecture tested in the Lumen operational environment, offering a blueprint to address mission-critical recovery needs.
With a widening gap between detection and defense, businesses are struggling to protect critical systems and maintain continuity.

Turn risk management into rapid recovery
Lumen and Commvault bring together network innovation, storage flexibility and advanced data protection to deliver more secure, scalable recovery across hybrid environments, featuring three key components:
Zero trust enforcement:
provides continuous verification and validation of all access.
Air-gapped storage:
keeps isolated backup copies with flexible storage options to help protect against tampering and deletion.
Anomaly detection:
identifies unusual patterns that may indicate a security breach.
