ResOps: The Convergence Of Security And Operations
Techstrong.IT, Friday, January 9th, 2026
At the intersection of security and operations, we're seeing a new discipline emerge. Commvault calls it ResOps, a blend of DevOps, SecOps, and FinOps with a wide view over the business's applications and data.
It's a sign that cyber resilience is becoming a team sport. It isn't just about having a backup; it's about ensuring the entire recovery process is clean and coordinated across the whole business. Commvault presented ResOps at Cloud Field Day 23; you can find all their presentations on the Tech Field Day website.
I've examined how organizations plan for disasters, and often, this planning has been siloed. The backup team did their thing, the security team did theirs, and they hoped it all met in the middle. It often seemed that the objective was to tick a compliance box on a management report. ResOps changes that by bringing cross-functional collaboration into the heart of the recovery process and making business continuity the central objective.
