The escalating threat landscape and growing AI demands are driving increased need for robust data protection and cyber resilience solutions. Cohesity, a leader in AI-powered data security, has signed a strategic collaboration agreement with Amazon Web Services to advance AI-powered cyber resilience at scale. This expanded partnership enables organizations to enhance critical data protection, accelerate operations recovery, and transform backup repositories into valuable, AI-ready data assets using AWS's global infrastructure and advanced technologies.
Cohesity signs strategic collaboration agreement with AWS.
Partnership focuses on AI-powered cyber resilience at scale.
Enables rapid, cost-effective cloud backups across 1,000+ data sources.
Provides immutable cyber vaults across AWS's 36 global regions.
Transforms backup data into AI-ready data lakes for analytics.
Strengthens data security and accelerates recovery capabilities.
The collaboration addresses critical needs in today's threat-intensive environment by providing organizations with enhanced cyber resilience, data intelligence, and operational agility. Building on Cohesity's industry-leading backup compatibility across more than 1,000 data sources, the partnership delivers native integration with key AWS services including Amazon EC2, Amazon RDS, Amazon S3, and Amazon DynamoDB. Enterprise-grade deduplication and compression technologies reduce storage costs while maintaining rapid recovery capabilities, enabling customers to protect workloads from on-premises infrastructure to cloud environments through a single, unified platform.
A key innovation of this collaboration is the deployment of regulatory-grade cyber vaults across AWS's global infrastructure. Cohesity enables enterprises to establish geographically isolated, tamper-proof backup data storage across AWS's 36 regions worldwide, ensuring instant accessibility for recovery while protecting against ransomware attacks. Through AWS-native immutability controls and private network isolation, organizations can meet stringent compliance requirements while safeguarding their most critical data assets.
The partnership also transforms backup data into strategic business assets by making protected data immediately accessible for analytics and AI initiatives. Through Cohesity Gaia, a generative AI assistant, enterprises can unlock insights from petabytes of unstructured data—from file shares to SaaS applications—while maintaining strict governance and security controls, effectively turning backup repositories into AI-ready data lakes.
Sanjay Poonen, CEO and president of Cohesity, emphasized the strategic importance, stating: "Deepening our collaboration with AWS and taking this powerful step forward in our shared vision to deliver cyber resilience to organizations everywhere is great news for the industry. By integrating Cohesity's AI-powered data security capabilities with the secure-by-design, scalable global infrastructure and powerful AI capabilities of AWS, we will provide customers with even more effective options to confidently secure their data, keep it resilient, and leverage it to fuel business priorities."
Matt Garman, CEO at AWS, highlighted the dual value proposition, commenting: "AWS customers want to do two things with their data: keep it protected and put it to work. This collaboration with Cohesity helps them do both by using the global infrastructure and AI technologies of AWS to help customers safeguard their critical data and power their AI and analytics initiatives. Together we are transforming backup data from idle storage into a driver of innovation."
This strategic collaboration represents a significant advancement in how organizations can simultaneously strengthen their cyber resilience while unlocking new value from their data assets, positioning data and AI at the core of business innovation and reliability.
