Cohesity named a Leader in the 2026 ISG Provider Lens® Resiliency Platforms Quadrant for the third year in a row

When a cyberattack, outage, or infrastructure failure disrupts critical operations, two things matter most: speed and confidence. Enterprise IT and security leaders need to know which data is clean, which systems to bring back first, and how to restore service without introducing new risk.

For the third consecutive year, Cohesity has been named a Leader in the Global Resiliency Platforms quadrant of the ISG Provider Lens® Private/Hybrid Cloud – Data Center Solutions 2026 report. The evaluation from Information Services Group (ISG) assesses AI-powered resiliency platforms that combine backup, disaster recovery, and cyber resilience across on-premises, private cloud, public cloud, hybrid, edge, and SaaS environments. It also looks at how AI can help teams detect faults faster, identify clean recovery points, and bring services back online with less manual effort. 

Being named a Leader for the third year in a row reflects the investments Cohesity has made across our portfolio. More importantly, it reinforces the shift our customers are making: from backing up data to proving they can recover critical services when disruption occurs.

Why ISG named Cohesity a Leader 

The report highlights three areas where Cohesity is helping enterprises strengthen cyber resilience.

1. Unified oversight across environments 

Cohesity Helios brings DataProtect and NetBackup together under one control plane, with shared login, reporting, security controls, and visibility across mixed environments. For teams responsible for complex estates, that means less duplicated effort and a more consistent way to apply security and recovery practices.

"By unifying DataProtect and NetBackup under the Helios control plane, Cohesity gives enterprise buyers a clear path to consistent security and recovery practices across mixed environments, without forcing a disruptive platform reset. That operational continuity is increasingly rare in a market where consolidation often comes at the cost of complexity." — Shashank Rajmane, Principal Analyst and Global Lead, ISG　 

2. AI-led recovery orchestration

Cohesity RecoveryAgent extends resilience beyond backup into operational recovery. AI-enabled agents help teams build customizable recovery blueprints, run rehearsals, take threat-aware steps, and select the right recovery point. The result is a process that teams can practice, audit, and repeat, rather than rebuilding recovery plans in the middle of an incident. 

"RecoveryAgent represents one of the more substantive advances in enterprise resilience we've assessed this cycle. By enabling AI-driven blueprints, rehearsals, and threat-aware recovery steps, Cohesity shifts recovery from a reactive, manually coordinated effort into a repeatable, auditable operational process — reducing the risk of improvisation precisely when enterprises can least afford it." — Shashank Rajmane, Principal Analyst and Global Lead, ISG　

3. Layered controls that keep recovery clean 

Cohesity FortKnox vaulting, immutability, quorum and role-based controls, anomaly detection, malware scanning, and clean-room recovery practices work together as a layered defense. The objective is practical confidence: recover from data that is intact, governed, and validated before it returns to production.

"Where many vendors still treat resilience as an extension of backup, Cohesity connects protection, vaulting, investigation, and recovery across mixed estates into a genuinely integrated model. The combination of FortKnox, immutability, anomaly detection, and clean room recovery doesn't just protect data — it gives enterprises a credible basis for demonstrating recoverability under regulatory and ransomware pressure." — Shashank Rajmane, Principal Analyst and Global Lead, ISG　 

From backup to cyber resilience

ISG summarized Cohesity's overall positioning this way: 

"Cohesity is redefining enterprise cyber resilience by combining unified data protection, intelligent backup and recovery orchestration, cyber vaulting, and AI-driven clean recovery into a cohesive platform for complex hybrid cloud environments." — Shashank Rajmane, Principal Analyst and Global Lead, ISG　

For IT and security leaders evaluating resilience platforms, the takeaway is straightforward: resilience depends on how these capabilities work together. Unified visibility, AI-led orchestration, and layered controls help teams identify the right recovery point, coordinate restores, and demonstrate repeatable recovery across complex hybrid cloud environments.
