This year's Cohesity Global Cyber Resilience Report found that 76% of organizations have experienced a material cyberattack, with 87% reporting lost revenue as a result.

Ensuring all data is protected, secured, and quickly recoverable is vital to a business’ success. And that’s why the world’s largest organizations trust Cohesity for their cyber resilience. We help you protect, secure, and gain insights from your data via our AI-powered data security platform, Cohesity Data Cloud.

Today, we’re happy to continue to raise the bar for cyber resilience with our latest Cohesity DataProtect release. Our customers choose DataProtect for its speed (10x faster recoveries), scale (multi-petabyte), security (zero trust architecture), simplicity (modern, SaaS-based user experience), and savings (up to 50% storage costs).

But we’re not stopping. New updates to DataProtect align around three themes critical to business resilience: protection, security, and recovery.

  • Protection: New support for modern workloads in the cloud and on-premises helps ensure that all business-critical data is protected and secured.
  • Security: Ultrafast hash-based threat scanning and new scanning capabilities for cloud data helps ensure that protected data is clean.
  • Recovery: Faster, more confident cyber recovery with Instant Mass Restore and our cyber recovery orchestration tool, Cohesity RecoveryAgent

Protection: Cloud without compromise

Enterprises aren’t just “moving to the cloud”—they’re living in a multicloud reality. But all too often, protection of data in this hybrid world consists of multiple tools from different vendors. This approach creates protection gaps that threat actors can exploit, hinders enterprise visibility that’s critical for ensuring compliance, and spawns operational efficiencies that can drive up costs. DataProtect’s support for new modern platforms and workloads across the cloud and on-prem, helps organizations close protection gaps. New support includes:

  • Advanced threat scanning for cloud VMs to help proactively identify risks.
