Strengthen cyber resilience with Cohesity and Google Cloud

Unify data protection, automate threat detection, and accelerate AI innovation across your enterprise data estate.

The hidden risk of secondary data

In today’s hybrid environments, enterprise data is scattered across on-premises data centers, multiple clouds, and edge locations. This “data sprawl” for secondary environments arises from the proliferation of specialized, siloed point solutions for backups, file shares, or disaster recovery, leading to inefficient operations, inflated costs, and significant security vulnerabilities.

Ransomware impact is escalating

Attackers actively target backup data to force ransom payments, with 94% of ransomware attacks targeting backups, and 57% of those attempts proving successful.

Downtime is costly

When traditional defenses fail, the recovery process is often painfully slow, leading to an average financial loss of $540,000 for each hour of operational downtime.

Recovery windows grow longer

70% of attacks result in data encryption, and 34% of organizations take more than a month to fully recover.

A powerful combination for cyber resilience

Cohesity and Google Cloud converge data protection and security into a single, intelligent, and modern platform that improves cyber resilience.

Cohesity

Cohesity Data Cloud featuring immutable snapshots, quorum, anomaly detection, and incident response and recovery.

Google Cloud

Infinitely scalable cloud infrastructure, Google Threat Intelligence, Mandiant incident response expertise, and secure sandbox analysis.

Together

Deep integration that eliminates complexity allowing organizations to detect threats early, response and recover with confidence, and query their own backup data using natural language.

How it works: Native integration for operational simplicity

Cohesity Data Cloud can operate as a Google Cloud-native application designed to protect cloud-native workloads, including Google Cloud Compute Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Google Workspace, and Google Cloud VMware Engine (GCVE).

In addition, Cohesity’s flexible architecture allows it to run across on-premises data centers, diverse multi-cloud environments, and remote edge locations, or be consumed through an “as a Service” (SaaS) model.

Across all of these enterprise environments, administrators can hunt and scan for hidden malware based on high-fidelity feeds from Google Threat Intelligence. This helps users identify potential Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) before they infect key systems.

If an attack occurs, administrators can use Cohesity Data Cloud to load infected data into a Mandiant-backed Cloud Isolated Recovery Environment (CIRE) operating within Google Cloud. This creates a highly secure sandbox for forensic analysis to uncover the root cause of the attack - a critical step before anything is returned to your production environment.


Key Benefits

Minimize risk and accelerate recovery times

Confident, verified cyber recovery

Resume operations rapidly without the risk of ransomware reinfection or secondary breaches.

The Mandiant-validated CIRE helps security teams securely conduct forensics, analyze, remediate threats, and restore data without risking reinfection from malware.

Drastically reduced total cost of ownership (TCO)

Eliminate redundant infrastructure and drastically shrink your physical and cloud storage footprint. 

Cohesity’s best-in-class data compression and deduplication, combined with automated tiering to Google Cloud Storage classes like Archive and Coldline, can lower storage consumption and egress fees by as much as 96%.

Gain insights from your secondary data

Transform protected secondary data into a strategic knowledge engine.

Cohesity Gaia can perform Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) on Cohesity-managed snapshots within Google Cloud, avoiding the compliance risks, latency, and egress fees associated with moving data to external analytics systems.

Use cases: Cyber resilience in action

Increase resilience

Before

Organizations have a large attack surface, with inconsistent data protection policies. Data is stored in different siloes, with various levels of encryption and adherence to zero-trust principles.

After

Organizations minimize their risk from an attack with unified protection policies. Data is secured in a modern platform with industry-standard controls.

Recover from ransomware

Before

Organizations struggle to identify which backup snapshots are clean, leading to dangerous reinfection loops, while traditional forensic environments take too long to provision.

After

Cohesity leverages advanced threat protection on your backups to ensure that your recovery is clean. Instant Mass Restore can bring hundreds of virtual machines back online in minutes, rather than days, drastically reducing the financial impact of downtime.
