Cohesity Maestro and Claude: What headless cyber resilience looks like in practice

How Cohesity Maestro surfaces protection gaps, explains business risk, and guides recovery workflows—directly inside Claude.

Cohesity Claude

Ops and security teams are working in new ways, creating agentic workflows that can integrate and orchestrate across their key systems.

They're wiring AI into how they actually work: connecting the systems they depend on, automating the handoffs between them, and using AI to orchestrate what used to require a person in the middle. The teams doing this well aren't waiting for anyone's permission. They're composing their own end-to-end workflows, and they're achieving better business outcomes because of it. 

We want to enable this productivity and creativity, not confine it to a single mode of interaction through our UI. Teams should be able to reach Cohesity wherever their work is already happening—callable by the agents, platforms, and AI models they've already built around. That means showing up in Claude without asking teams to change how they operate, hand off context, or break the flow they've worked to create. 

That's the thinking behind Cohesity Maestro

We’re seeing enterprises rapidly adopt AI as a powerful orchestration layer — not just as a standalone tool, but as the connective tissue across the systems and workflows their teams already rely on. The organizations getting the most value from their AI investments are those connecting it to their critical operational infrastructure, and open standards are what make that integration scalable and durable.”

What is Cohesity Maestro?

Cohesity will deliver the industry’s first headless data security architecture, Cohesity Maestro. Cohesity Maestro will make Cohesity callable by Claude and other agents. An authorized operator issues guidance and asks questions in plain language. Cohesity Maestro provides the cyber resilience context behind the answer. The operator gets a prioritized view of what matters, why it matters, and what to do next—without opening a separate console.

“Cohesity Maestro is about meeting customers where their work is already happening. If a team is using Claude to reason through operational risk, they should be able to bring Cohesity’s cyber resilience intelligence into that experience—without losing governance, control, or trust.” - Vasu Murthy, Chief Product Officer, Cohesity.

How Cohesity Maestro surfaces in Claude

Claude connects to Cohesity Maestro through open Model Context Protocol (MCP), and as open Agent Skills. MCP is an open standard that allows operational systems to participate in AI-driven workflows without requiring operators to change tools. MCP enables Cohesity Maestro’s cyber resilience intelligence—protection telemetry, risk scoring, recovery readiness, and governed actions—to appear in the Claude interface as structured, actionable outputs.

In practice, Cohesity Maestro’s intelligence surfaces through three native Claude capabilities:

  • Artifacts: Cohesity Maestro’s risk analysis, causal chains, and remediation plans are delivered as shareable Claude Artifacts —structured outputs the operator can review, copy, or hand off immediately.
  • Projects: Cohesity Maestro’s environment context — workload criticality tiers, SLAs, policies, audit schedules—is stored in a Claude Project. Every session is informed by everything that came before.
  • Tasks: Cohesity Maestro’s recommended action sequences surface as executable task plans. Not just what to do, but the order that matters and the reason why. 

Prompt, plan, remediate 

Let’s see how this all works: 

An admin starts their day in Claude by opening their daily briefing, a Claude Artifact built from Cohesity Maestro. The Claude Project is already set up with the environment documentation, system criticality tiers, audit schedule, and escalation policies.

There are 27 open issues. But a flat list of 27 items is noise. Cohesity Maestro ranks the list by business impact instead of failure count and pulls two that could threaten the business to the top. 

The admin drills into the top issue, and Cohesity Maestro walks them through what to do next, in priority order, right in Claude. Once actions requiring human intervention are resolved, the option is given to have the remaining steps for resolution to be run by Cohesity Maestro.

Cohesity Maestro and Claude can bring cyber resilience into workflows

Actions taken by Claude users through Cohesity Maestro pass through the same identity, access, and audit framework that applies to direct platform access. The controls don't change. What changes is where the work happens—and we’re meeting you there.
