Strengthen cyber resilience with Cohesity and Google Cloud

Unify data protection across every Google Cloud workload, database service, VM, container, and Workspace deployed directly inside your own Google Cloud environment so you can recover with confidence.

Is your Google Cloud data protection strategy keeping up?

  • Is recovery a race against the clock? Native tools like BigQuery, Time Travel and Cloud SQL point-in-time recovery cap out at short fixed windows, not built for the retention audits, legal holds, and long-tail incidents.
  • Are you managing a different tool for every service? Multiple point solutions are used for various databases, VMs, containers, and SaaS apps, forcing admins to jump between consoles to monitor backup and recovery for every workload. 
  • Can you trust the backup you're about to restore from? Without a way to verify that a recovery point is clean, ransomware recovery becomes a guessing game and a bad restore just reinfects the environment you're trying to save.
  • Does disaster recovery mean sending your data somewhere else? Many DR plans assume data has to leave the environment or leave Google Cloud entirely to be protected, adding egress cost, latency, and sovereignty risk to every recovery.

Cohesity has your Back (up)

Built for Google Cloud and deployed directly inside your own environment, Cohesity Data Cloud unifies protection, verifies every recovery, and keeps your data exactly where you want it, in the projects and regions you choose, fully under your control.

A powerful combination for cyber resilience

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

Cohesity

Cohesity Data Cloud featuring immutable snapshots, anomaly detection, quorum approvals 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, letting organizations to detect threats early, respond and recover with confidence, and query backup data using natural language. So, Cohesity scans, detects, and recovers your data, enriched by Google's threat intelligence, Mandiant expertise, and secure sandboxing at every step.


Broad workload coverage for Cohesity Cloud Edition on GCP

Databases & analytics (DBPaaS):

BigQuery

Cloud SQL for SQL Server

Firestore

Cloud SQL for MySQL

AlloyDB for PostgreSQL

Bigtable

Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL

Spanner

Compute & storage:

Google Compute Engine VMs

Lower your total cost of ownership 

Consolidate point tools into one platform. 

Instead of separate backup tools per GCP database service, manage BigQuery, Cloud SQL, AlloyDB, Spanner, Firestore, Bigtable, GCE VMs, and Google Workspace from one Helios console, fewer vendors, fewer contracts, one unified console, one place to manage protection across your GCP estate.

Compress and deduplicate before it ever hits storage. 

Cohesity's global compression and deduplication reduce the consumption of backup data landing in Google Cloud Storage, directly cutting the storage bill that native and uncompressed snapshot copies don't provide.

No forklift upgrades or siloed licensing. 

One platform architecture avoids the classic legacy-backup cost trap of per-workload licenses and hardware refresh cycles.



Key Benefits

Unified Console: Manage protection across every GCP database, VM, container, and app from one place, no per-service tools to reconcile.

Extended Retention: Policy-driven retention that outlives native rollback windows, on your terms.

Instant Recovery at Scale: One-click restore to the original or an alternate project/region; hundreds of VMs back online in minutes.

Data Stays Where You Decide: Deploy entirely within your chosen GCP region and Data Boundary. You control where primary and secondary copies are retained, with RBAC governing who can access each copy.

Immutability & WORM: Immutable snapshots hardened with encryption prevent attackers from altering or deleting backup & archive/vaulted data.

Ransomware & anomaly detection: ML-based scanning of backup data flags abnormal changes and known threats before they spread.

Cyber vaulting: Logically air-gapped, isolated copies of data provide an additional layer of protection from external and internal attackers.

Zero-trust access controls: Multi-factor authentication, role-based access control, and quorum/multi-person approval for sensitive operations.

Mandiant-validated CIRE / clean room: A Cloud Isolated Recovery Environment in Google Cloud for forensics and recovery without risking reinfection.

Data classification:  Discover and classify sensitive data across hybrid cloud environments to close blind spots before attackers exploit them.

Use cases: Cyber resilience in action

Manage everything from one console

Before: Different tools protect databases, VMs, and SaaS data separately, forcing admins to jump between consoles, policies, and dashboards just to see overall protection status.

After: Databases, VMs, containers, and Google Workspace are all managed under one unified Helios console, one set of policies, one view of protection status, one place to respond when something goes wrong

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 identifies a clean, uninfected recovery point on your Google Cloud data and restores with confidence, breaking the attack-recovery-reinfection loop. Instant Mass Restore brings workloads back online in minutes rather than days, drastically reducing the business impact of downtime .

Recover from accidental deletion & data loss

Before: A dropped BigQuery table, an overwritten Cloud SQL database, or a deleted Firestore collection forces teams to rebuild from scratch or hunt for a usable native snapshot within a narrow rollback window.

After: Recover the exact table, database, or collection you lost, down to the object level without touching anything else in the environment .

Meet compliance & retention requirements

Before: BigQuery Time Travel and Cloud SQL's native point-in-time recovery cap out at short, fixed windows that are not long enough to satisfy audit, legal hold, or regulatory retention requirements.

After: Policy-driven, cross-project retention extends protection well beyond native rollback ceilings, giving compliance and audit teams the history customers actually need.

Recover from disaster & move data with confidence

Before: When a project, region, or environment goes down or is compromised, teams have no fast, tested path to bring databases and VMs back up somewhere else.

After: Restore databases and VMs to an alternate GCP project or region, so recovery isn't dependent on the original environment being available.

Enable test/dev & analytics without risk

Before: Test, dev, and analytics teams either wait on production data access or work with stale, disconnected copies, slowing innovation and creating risk to production.

After: Recovery points double as fresh, isolated test/dev and analytics copies, so teams get current data without ever touching production.

Protect SaaS data alongside everything else

Before: Gmail and Google Drive data sit outside the same protection policies, tools, and console used for databases and VMs creating a separate blind spot and a separate workflow.

After: Gmail and Google Drive are protected in the same Helios console, under the same policies, as your Google Cloud databases and VMs.

Recover across regions and projects, without your data ever leaving Google Cloud

Before: Disaster recovery plans often assume data has to move outside the cloud environment (or even outside Google Cloud) to be protected, adding egress costs, latency, and data sovereignty risk to every recovery.

After: Cohesity Cloud Edition runs as a cluster deployed directly inside your own GCP project and region, so backups, replication, and restores to an alternate project or region all stay within your Google Cloud environment. No data crosses cloud boundaries, keeping cost, latency, and sovereignty under your control
