ControlMonkey is launching its Data Backup Correlation, a new capability that extends its Cyber Resilience Platform by connecting data backup posture with cloud configuration recovery. This first release supports AWS Backup and Azure Backup.
According to ControlMonkey, CISOs and cloud teams often lack full visibility into data backup coverage and available recovery points across critical data sources, including databases, storage accounts, and cloud data services, making it harder to understand what data assets are recoverable when it matters most. Teams need a complete operational picture of what existed before the incident, what is protected, what is missing, which recovery points are available, and what should be restored first.
Now with ControlMonkey’s Data Backup Correlation, teams are alerted when backup coverage changes, retention policies are violated, recovery points are missing or expected RPO targets are at risk. It then helps prioritize what to fix first based on recovery risk and business impact. The capability also identifies missing backups, monitors RPO compliance, reviews available recovery points, and detects cross-region or cross-account protection gaps, the company said.
“Most organizations assume their critical data is protected, but few have a clear view of backup coverage, available recovery points, and how that posture connects to the wider cloud environment,” said Aharon Twizer, CEO and co-founder of ControlMonkey. “With Data Backup Correlation, ControlMonkey gives CISOs and cloud teams the context they need to understand what is protected, what is exposed, and what to recover first when every minute matters.”
ControlMonkey already helps organizations protect and recover cloud and SaaS configuration, including cloud resources, networking, DNS, identity, security policies, observability dashboards, repositories, and third-party configurations.
With Data Backup Correlation, ControlMonkey adds data backup posture into the same resilience view, helping organizations connect data protection status with the infrastructure, configuration, and services those data assets depend on, the company said.
Data Backup Correlation gives teams the following capabilities:
- See backup coverage across critical cloud data sources
- Review available recovery points for databases, storage accounts, and cloud data services
- Identify unprotected data assets and backup gaps
- Detect data sources breaching defined RPO targets
- Monitor backup SLA and recovery policy compliance
- Identify missing cross-region and cross-account protection
- Correlate existing data backups with cloud infrastructure and configuration
- Prioritize recovery planning based on dependencies, business impact, and recovery risk
The new capability expands ControlMonkey’s Cyber Resilience Platform, which helps organizations discover, govern, back up, and recover cloud and SaaS configuration.
By adding visibility into data backup posture, ControlMonkey provides a Unified Control Plane for Resilience, giving organizations a broader recovery picture across both configuration and data protection systems, the company said.
ControlMonkey plans to expand support to additional enterprise backup platforms, including Rubrik, Veeam, Commvault, Cohesity, and others.
