As cyber threats continue to evolve, enterprises require more than just robust defenscs—they need leaders with deep expertise in risk management and resilience.
Commvault, a pioneer in cyber resilience and data protection for the hybrid cloud, has reinforced its commitment to security with the appointment of industry veteran Bill O’Connell as its new Chief Security Officer (CSO).
O’Connell brings nearly two decades of cybersecurity experience to Commvault, having previously held leadership roles at Roche and ADP. His extensive background in cyber risk, data privacy, and product security positions him as a formidable force in strengthening Commvault’s security posture. His track record speaks volumes: at Roche, he led critical initiatives to safeguard infrastructure and sensitive data, while at ADP, he was instrumental in overseeing global application and product security.
As cybercriminals deploy increasingly sophisticated tactics, enterprises must pivot from a reactive to a proactive security stance. O’Connell’s expertise will play a pivotal role in helping Commvault and its customers stay ahead of the curve.
Commvault has long been at the forefront of cyber resilience, offering solutions that help organizations defend, detect, and recover from cyberattacks. With ransomware, insider threats, and data breaches on the rise, businesses are shifting focus from mere prevention to holistic resilience—ensuring they can continue operations even in the face of an attack.
Under O’Connell’s leadership, Commvault is expected to further cement its position as a trusted partner in enterprise security. His role will not only involve securing Commvault’s own infrastructure but also shaping the company’s approach to product security, privacy, and incident response, directly benefiting customers looking for reliable security partners.
O’Connell’s appointment underscores Commvault’s dedication to continuous innovation in security. With his leadership, the company is well-positioned to navigate the ever-evolving threat landscape while empowering organisations to build stronger, more resilient cyber defenses.
As the digital landscape expands, the need for strong security leadership becomes ever more critical. With O’Connell at the helm, Commvault is poised to deliver enhanced protection and resilience to enterprises worldwide, reinforcing its reputation as a leader in cybersecurity and data protection.
