ControlMonkey adds backup visibility to cyber resilience platform

ControlMonkey has expanded its Cyber Resilience Platform with Data Backup Correlation, a new capability designed to give CISOs and cloud teams a clearer view of backup coverage, recovery points, and recovery risk across cloud data sources. The first release supports AWS Backup and Azure Backup.

Backup status is often tracked separately from the cloud infrastructure, identity settings, networking rules, DNS records, security policies, and application dependencies that also need to be restored after an incident. That separation can make it harder to know which data assets are protected, which recovery points are available, and where recovery exposure exists.

With Data Backup Correlation, ControlMonkey alerts teams when backup coverage changes, retention policies are violated, recovery points are missing, or defined recovery point objective targets are at risk. The capability also identifies unprotected data assets, checks RPO compliance, reviews available recovery points, and flags cross-region or cross-account protection gaps. This will help teams prioritize recovery work based on business impact, dependencies, and recovery risk.

ControlMonkey already focuses on protecting and recovering cloud and SaaS configuration, including cloud resources, networking, DNS, identity, security policies, observability dashboards, repositories, and third-party configurations. By adding backup posture into that same view, the company is trying to give security and cloud teams a more complete picture of what can actually be recovered after an outage, cyberattack, or configuration failure. ControlMonkey plans to expand support to additional backup platforms, including Rubrik, Veeam, Commvault, and Cohesity.
