Data resilience and cyber recovery software provider Commvault has been recognized on TIME’s America’s Best Companies 2026 list, earning a place among the top 1,000 companies in the United States. The company also ranked among the top 25 organizations in New Jersey and secured the highest position among New Jersey-based companies in the Technology & Media category, reflecting strong performance across employee satisfaction, financial growth, and sustainability transparency.
Enterprise resilience software provider Commvault has been included in TIME’s America’s Best Companies 2026 ranking, a recognition that highlights organizations demonstrating strong financial performance, positive workplace culture, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) transparency.
Compiled by TIME in partnership with Statista, the annual list evaluates companies using a combination of independently assessed business metrics rather than product innovation alone. For Commvault, the recognition comes as enterprises continue to prioritize cyber resilience, data protection, and business continuity amid increasingly sophisticated cyber threats and expanding regulatory requirements.
The company earned a place among the top 1,000 U.S. companies, ranked within the top 25 organizations headquartered in New Jersey, and achieved the highest ranking among New Jersey-based businesses in the Technology & Media category.
Unlike technology industry awards that primarily recognize products or innovation, the TIME and Statista ranking evaluates organizations across three broad dimensions: employee satisfaction, financial performance, and sustainability transparency.
Employee satisfaction accounts for workplace experience and employer reputation using survey responses collected from approximately 217,000 verified employees across the United States over a three-year period. Participants assessed areas including workplace culture, compensation, working conditions, equality, and their willingness to recommend their employer.
Financial performance measures long-term business health using multiple indicators, including revenue growth, profitability, asset growth, and return on assets. To qualify, companies were required to generate at least $100 million in revenue during 2025.
The third pillar, sustainability transparency, evaluates corporate disclosure and governance practices through environmental, social, and governance indicators. These include carbon emissions intensity, emissions reduction efforts, board diversity, human rights policies, sustainability reporting aligned with Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards, and corporate compliance frameworks.
Commvault’s inclusion reflects broader trends across enterprise technology, where investors and customers increasingly evaluate software vendors not only on product capabilities but also on organizational resilience, governance, and workforce engagement.
The recognition arrives during a period of growing demand for cyber resilience platforms. Organizations are investing beyond traditional backup and recovery technologies toward comprehensive resilience strategies that combine cyber recovery, threat detection, compliance, cloud protection, disaster recovery, and operational continuity.
Industry analysts have consistently identified cyber resilience as a strategic enterprise priority. According to Gartner, organizations are increasingly adopting integrated resilience platforms that combine backup, recovery, security, and operational continuity as ransomware attacks continue to evolve. IDC likewise projects continued growth in enterprise data protection and cyber recovery markets as hybrid cloud adoption and AI-driven workloads expand.
Commvault has positioned its platform around unified resilience, enabling organizations to protect data across on-premises, cloud, SaaS, and hybrid IT environments. The company’s strategy increasingly aligns with enterprise efforts to consolidate backup, cyber recovery, and operational resilience into integrated platforms rather than managing multiple standalone solutions.
The company’s leadership has also emphasized preparing organizations for what it describes as the “agentic era,” referring to the emergence of autonomous AI systems capable of executing increasingly complex business tasks. As enterprises deploy AI agents across operations, securing the underlying data infrastructure becomes increasingly important for maintaining business continuity and regulatory compliance.
Competition in the enterprise resilience market continues to intensify. Vendors including Microsoft, Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Dell Technologies, IBM, Rubrik, Cohesity, and Veeam are expanding investments in cyber recovery, ransomware protection, cloud backup, and AI-enabled security capabilities. The market is evolving from traditional backup software toward broader resilience platforms that integrate cybersecurity, compliance, and operational recovery.
Recognition through rankings such as TIME’s America’s Best Companies may also influence enterprise purchasing decisions, particularly among organizations evaluating long-term strategic technology partners. Corporate governance, workforce stability, and sustainability reporting are becoming increasingly relevant alongside product innovation, especially for highly regulated industries such as financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, and government.
As enterprises continue modernizing IT infrastructure while navigating growing cyber risks, vendor resilience extends beyond technology capabilities to include organizational performance, operational maturity, and long-term business stability. Commvault’s inclusion in the 2026 rankings reflects that broader shift in how enterprise software companies are increasingly assessed by customers, investors, and industry observers.
Market Landscape
The enterprise cyber resilience market is expanding as organizations seek integrated platforms capable of protecting increasingly distributed workloads across cloud, SaaS, hybrid infrastructure, and AI-enabled environments. Gartner identifies cyber resilience as a strategic technology priority, while IDC forecasts continued investment in backup modernization, ransomware recovery, and data protection platforms as enterprises strengthen operational continuity.
Competition spans established infrastructure providers and specialized resilience vendors including Microsoft, Google Cloud, AWS, IBM, Dell Technologies, Rubrik, Cohesity, and Veeam. Vendors are increasingly differentiating through AI-assisted threat detection, automated recovery, compliance capabilities, and unified data protection rather than traditional backup functionality alone.
