Cohesity, a leader in AI-powered data security, and ServiceNow, the AI control tower for business reinvention, have announced a strategic partnership to deliver agent resilience. The collaboration aims to enable organizations to build, operate, and safeguard autonomous AI agents and their underlying data with enterprise-grade reliability, addressing the growing need for trust and recoverability as AI agents take on critical business operations.
Cohesity and ServiceNow announced a strategic partnership to deliver end-to-end resilience for enterprise AI agents.
The integration combines ServiceNow's AI Agent Control Tower with Cohesity's Data Cloud to enable rapid point-in-time recovery of data accessed by agents.
When compromised agents corrupt data or cause disruptions, organizations can restore both the agent and the systems it operates to a verified baseline state.
The partnership addresses the need for trust in AI agents that autonomously remediate IT incidents, manage workflows, and modify configurations.
Integrated capabilities between the platforms are expected to be available later this year.
The collaboration aims to make AI agents "trustworthy by design" with governance, auditability, and fast recovery paths.
As enterprises move from AI experimentation to deploying agents that execute critical business operations, the ability to quickly and precisely recover data deleted or modified by a compromised agent is becoming as important as building the agents themselves. When corrupted data, misconfigurations, or malicious prompt injections cause agents to behave unexpectedly, disabling the agent alone is not enough. Organizations must be able to restore both the agent and the systems it operates to a trusted state without rebuilding from scratch or creating prolonged downtime.
"Organizations deploying AI agents can't afford to treat resilience as an afterthought," said Sanjay Poonen, CEO and president of Cohesity. "Cohesity brings the same immutable, point-in-time recovery that enterprises rely on for critical data, now applied to the AI agents driving their operations. Together with ServiceNow, we're making AI agents trustworthy by design."
ServiceNow enables organizations to build, register, and orchestrate AI agents across the enterprise with the governance, visibility, and security that mission-critical operations demand. The ServiceNow AI Platform integrates with any cloud, model, and data source to orchestrate how work flows across the enterprise. Cohesity protects and restores the data accessed by the agents, enabling rapid restoration to a point-in-time verified data state without manual reconstruction when disruptions occur.
"Trust is the ultimate human currency—in the era of AI it is built through governance across agentic workflows. I'm excited to team up with Cohesity to raise the bar for responsible AI at scale," said Bill McDermott, ServiceNow chairman and CEO. "The smarter AI agents become, the more they require a control tower to orchestrate their work across systems with audit-grade proof at every step. Cohesity adds a critical recovery and resilience layer that, combined with the ServiceNow AI Platform, makes agentic AI trustworthy by design."
Enterprises are increasingly deploying AI agents to autonomously remediate IT incidents, manage workflows, and execute time-consuming operational processes. These agents interact directly with core enterprise systems to update records, trigger actions, and modify configurations across the business. As AI agents take on more consequential work across the enterprise, resilience can no longer be an afterthought.
Together, ServiceNow and Cohesity deliver end-to-end AI agent resilience across the enterprise lifecycle. Organizations can build and register AI agents natively within the ServiceNow AI Platform, while the Cohesity Data Cloud safeguards the data systems. The integrated approach ensures that every agent is governed, every action is auditable, and every disruption has a fast path to recovery.
