In this episode, Paulo Henrique speaks with Michael Fasulo, Senior Director of Portfolio Marketing at Commvault, about how organizations can evolve from reactive defense to cyber resilience in the face of fast-moving threats. Michael explains why exfiltration—not just ransomware—defines today’s blast radius, and how post-quantum cryptography (PQC)and crypto-agility should be treated as layered controls rather than silver bullets. He outlines sectors leading adoption (government and banking) versus laggards facing OT/legacy constraints (manufacturing and critical infrastructure).
Michael details Commvault’s approach: native PQC options (e.g., ML-KEM/DSA, SPHINCS, Falcon, HQC), risk analysis and sensitive-data discovery across structured/unstructured sources, right-sizing controls to avoid performance and cost spikes, and deep integrations with major security vendors and hyperscalers to share signals across the estate. He also discusses using AI as an enabler—accelerating cryptographic and data inventories while watching for shadow IT/AI.
The conversation closes with practical guidance on funding, standards, and executive momentum, plus where to meet the team (Gartner, Ignite, re:Invent) and how leaders can engage Commvault to harden resilience today—while preparing for the quantum tomorrow.
