Delivering ransomware resilience, not just a routine restore.
Ransomware has raised the stakes for backup and recovery. Today’s threat actors are sophisticated, relentless, and increasingly target backup data to prevent organizations from recovering quickly. Cloud provider backup tools can still play an important role in routine protection and recovery, but they were largely built for operational incidents like hardware failure or human error. They often lack the cyber resilience capabilities organizations need to combat modern threats and recover quickly and confidently after a breach. And as data expands across SaaS, public cloud, and on-premises environments, provider-specific tools can also leave teams managing fragmented protection across environments.
Cohesity Essentials solutions are designed to extend cloud investments with unified protection, stronger cyber resilience, and simpler operations without adding enterprise-level complexity or overhead.
Cloud providers secure their infrastructure, but customers still remain responsible for protecting and recovering their own data. That becomes more challenging as environments span multiple clouds, SaaS applications, compliance requirements, and recovery expectations.
Let’s look at why cloud native may not always be the best suited option for you:
Consideration
Cloud provider-native tools
Cohesity Essentials
Scope of protection
Often centered on a single provider ecosystem for native services that work well for workloads running on that platform, which can leave teams managing several fragmented tools across clouds and SaaS apps.
One platform. Every workload. No gaps.
Protects on-prem, multicloud, and SaaS including Microsoft 365 , from a single unified console. Coverage doesn't depend on where the workload lives.
Recovery capabilities
Native tools may be sufficient for basic recovery, but can offer limited recovery options for broader cyber recovery. They can't tell you whether that copy is clean. No pre-restore malware scan means teams often recover ransomware alongside their data, forcing repeated attempts. 40% of organizations experienced this.
Recover with confidence, not just speed.
AI driven threat hunting identifies verified clean recovery point before restore. Moreover recovery is a controlled process with granular item-level recovery, orchestrated restore workflows, and faster, more confident recovery across operational and cyber incidents.
Cyber resilience
Native tools may require manual isolation steps, and same-cloud copies do not necessarily provide true isolation from ransomware, they live within the same cloud tenant and has the same blast radius as production.
Immutability enforced. Vault truly isolated.
Zero-trust architecture and immutable backups are on by default, not a configuration task. FortKnox Cyber vaulting keeps an isolated copy completely outside your environment, unreachable even if an attacker holds valid admin credentials.
Operations
Since one console covers its own ecosystem, using different tools for on-prem and cloud environments can increase management overhead, complexity, and time to value.
Single AI assisted console
Consolidates protection into a single modern console with AI-assisted administration and flexible deployment options tailored to midsize IT teams.
Cost efficiency
Costs can easily compound when protecting hybrid and multi-cloud environments - separate fees for storage, egress, licensing and cross-cloud protection and management. Especially when tools are managed separately or data must move across environments.
Predictable TCO. Up to 40% lower cost.
A single platform helps optimize investment by eliminating licensing and reducing management overhead. Coupled with efficient data handling and predictable pricing results in 40% lower TCO compared to a fragmented stack.
Deployment flexibility
Typically tied to one cloud environment and its native services. Organizations with hybrid environments don’t have a single deployment option to cover all of them consistently.
Deploy the way your team actually operates.
Available as Cohesity-managed SaaS, self-managed software, or integrated appliance, so customers can align protection to their operating model.
Cloud-native backup tools solve for copies, not security. In a ransomware attack, that gap becomes the problem.
For midsize organizations, the goal isn’t to replace your cloud strategy , it’s to make it more resilient. Cohesity Essentials helps teams:
Cohesity Essentials delivers enterprise-grade ransomware resilience for midsize businesses, without enterprise-level cost or complexity. Talk to a Cohesity specialist to assess your protection gaps.
