Cohesity has announced a series of significant cyber resilience advancements at its Catalyst 1 Data Security Summit. The company is extending its Five-Step Cyber Resilience Framework with new solutions that enhance identity protection, expand workload coverage across all major cloud providers, and deliver rapid recovery against destructive cyberattacks. These innovations include Cohesity Identity Resilience for Active Directory, new FortKnox Self-managed isolated vaults, AI-powered capabilities in Cohesity Gaia, advanced threat scanning integrations, and expanded global partnerships.
Cohesity introduces new innovations at Catalyst 1, extending its Five-Step Cyber Resilience Framework.
Identity Resilience powered by Semperis strengthens Active Directory defenses and recovery.
New FortKnox Self-managed vault brings cyber vaulting to on-premises environments.
NetBackup DirectIO improves recovery speeds and cuts costs by up to 53%.
Expanded AI-powered threat detection and integration with Google Threat Intelligence.
Enhanced Cohesity Gaia capabilities unlock deeper insights and innovation from protected data.
As organizations continue their digital transformations, Cohesity focuses on protecting diverse workloads across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. With plans to introduce 40 new cloud connectors by the end of 2025, the company underscores its commitment to securing compute, container, storage, and database workloads. A centerpiece of the announcement is Cohesity Identity Resilience, powered by Semperis, which safeguards Microsoft Active Directory. This system, a frequent target of cyberattacks, now benefits from a combination of immutable Cohesity Data Cloud storage and Semperis’ automated recovery capabilities to strengthen defenses and accelerate restoration.
Building on its leadership in cyber vaulting, Cohesity launched FortKnox Self-managed, which enables customers with sovereignty requirements to deploy secure, air-gapped vaults in their own data centers. Using advanced obfuscation, the vault’s location remains undiscoverable even if primary credentials are compromised. Alongside this, NetBackup DirectIO allows organizations to use Cohesity Data Cloud as a high-performance, immutable storage layer for NetBackup data, offering faster recoveries and direct cost savings of up to 53%.
Cohesity continues strengthening its detection framework by incorporating Google Threat Intelligence into its threat scanning functions at no extra cost. Through Cohesity DataProtect, organizations gain near-instant results when searching for indicators of compromise across backup data. This supports a more proactive approach to identifying evolving cyber threats.
The company also rolled out RecoveryAgent, a cyber recovery orchestration tool now generally available. It automates testing, simulations, and recovery execution with embedded malware scanning and agentic AI capabilities. By providing clear workflows and recovery timeline forecasts, organizations can rehearse and optimize their resilience strategies with precision. Cohesity is further enhancing its CERT (Cyber Event Response Team) consulting services with new offerings like ransomware readiness assessments and tabletop simulations, giving customers expert-led resilience strategies.
Cohesity’s integration with Cyera adds advanced data classification and governance capabilities within Cohesity Data Cloud. This helps enterprises locate and protect sensitive or regulated data, enforce compliance, and eliminate redundant data in real time—significantly reducing risks around unauthorized restorations. “Data sprawl is being driven by increasing cloud and AI adoption. This increases security and compliance risks that call for enterprise-wide visibility of all sensitive data that is critical to delivering cyber resilience,” said Amit Raikar, vice president, Strategic Alliances, Cyera.
Cohesity’s long-standing partnerships, such as with 11:11 Systems, continue to expand, delivering enterprises AI-powered data resilience strategies. Customers can also extract new value from protected data through enhancements to Cohesity Gaia. The AI-driven enterprise knowledge discovery assistant now features improved search, sensitive data redaction, multilingual support, and integrations with Slack and Google Agentspace, enabling global teams to derive impactful insights securely and efficiently.
The Catalyst 1 Data Security Summit also featured leaders from enterprises and technology firms such as US Foods, NVIDIA, and Palo Alto Networks, who shared proven strategies for modern cyber resilience and data protection. The event reaffirmed that while prevention is essential, resilience is the new core of enterprise defense. Vasu Murthy, senior vice president and chief product officer at Cohesity, summarized, “Cyberattacks have become an unavoidable reality, and organizations can’t afford to be unprepared. But prevention alone isn’t enough. That’s why Cohesity is focused on helping organizations approach resilience more comprehensively, so they can withstand attacks, recover faster, and safeguard business continuity and reputation.”
Cohesity protects, secures, and provides insights into the world’s data.
