Commvault and Partners Presented Cyber Resilience and Business Continuity Solutions in Baku
11.02.2026
On February 11, an industry event titled “Cyber Resilience and Business Continuity. Live Demonstration of Solutions” was held in Baku, dedicated to modern approaches to data protection, IT system availability, and countering cyber threats.
The event took place at Dukkan Khatai restaurant and brought together representatives of telecom operators, the financial sector, and corporate IT departments. The event was organized by FOMINOV CONSULTING in partnership with Commvault and Fortis Distribution.
Cyber Resilience and the Role of Artificial Intelligence
The event was opened by Natalia Osipova, Commercial Director of FOMINOV CONSULTING. She introduced the event partners – Commvault, Nothreat, and Fortis Distribution – and then gave the floor to Ivan Zasokhlin, Sales Director for Commvault in the CIS, Baltic States, and Turkey.
In his speech, the vendor representative emphasized that in today’s environment, cyber resilience means not only the ability to withstand attacks but also the readiness of companies to ensure business continuity, rapidly restore infrastructure, and protect critical data.
The keynote speaker of the event was Dmitry Ivanyuk, Lead Technical Expert for the region at Commvault. In his presentation, he stressed that modern cyber threats require a fundamentally different approach to data protection — not reactive, but analytical and predictive.
“Today, backup is no longer about storage — it is about risk management. Artificial intelligence in Commvault solutions analyzes infrastructure, data behavior, and attack patterns, helping to proactively identify which systems and workloads are most at risk,” Dmitry Ivanyuk noted.
He explained that Commvault uses AI and machine learning to analyze infrastructure telemetry, access logs, data structures, and user activity. This allows the system to detect anomalies, identify potential compromises, and automatically prioritize recovery processes.
“We use artificial intelligence not only to detect attacks, but also to help businesses understand which data can be safely restored and which requires additional verification. This fundamentally changes the approach to post-incident recovery,” he added.
AI as the Foundation of the Modern Commvault Platform
In the technical part of the presentation, it was demonstrated how AI modules are integrated into all key data management processes within the Commvault platform. The platform does not simply create backups; it builds an intelligent model of the infrastructure, including relationships between systems, applications, and data.
Artificial intelligence enables the platform to:
- Automatically classify data based on criticality
- Detect anomalies in backup changes
- Identify signs of encryption or malicious code injection
- Determine “clean” recovery points
- Build an optimal recovery scenario to return systems to operational status
This is especially important during ransomware attacks and sophisticated APT campaigns, where restoring from an “infected” backup could lead to a repeated incident.
“Commvault’s AI algorithms help not just restore a system, but restore it correctly — without reintroducing malicious code and with a clear understanding of which data is truly safe to resume business operations,” Dmitry Ivanyuk emphasized.
In addition, the Commvault platform uses behavioral analytics to assess normal system activity and detect deviations that may indicate hidden attacks or insider threats.
Practical Demonstration of Commvault Solutions
The central part of the program was the Live Demo Stand & Workshop, where participants were able to work with Commvault solutions in real time and see how cyber resilience technologies function in practice.
The demo stand showcased:
- Backup and recovery of virtual machines and applications
- Protection of mission-critical workloads
- Service restoration after cyber incidents
- AI-driven analytics of data and infrastructure status
Participants observed how the system determines optimal recovery points, analyzes data integrity, and builds a sequence of actions to quickly restore business processes.
Preventive Cybersecurity by Notheart
Another part of the program focused on the concept of preventive cybersecurity presented by Nothreat. Regional Director Haji Haciyev introduced a platform based on creating a virtual copy of a customer’s infrastructure, which acts as an intelligent trap for attackers.
Any attack first enters this virtual environment, where an AI-based system analyzes the attacker’s actions, identifies the source, and blocks it across the platform’s global client network. This makes it possible to prevent attacks — including zero-day threats — before they reach real systems.
A Comprehensive Approach to Cyber Resilience
During the event, a comprehensive approach was demonstrated, where:
- Commvault provides intelligent protection, analysis, and data recovery using AI
- Nothreat ensures attack prevention and early detection
- Fortis and FOMINOV CONSULTING handle implementation and integration within corporate infrastructures
This approach enables companies not only to respond to incidents but to build a sustainable strategy for business continuity and digital resilience.
Networking and Knowledge Exchange
After the official program, participants continued discussions over dinner, addressing practical aspects of solution implementation, regulatory requirements, and the specifics of protecting IT infrastructure in the telecom and financial sectors.
The event confirmed strong market interest in integrated platforms that combine backup, recovery, analytics, and cybersecurity — forming the foundation for a resilient and secure digital business.
