Modern Data Security and Management for Government

Today’s data security and management challenges

Many government agencies are modernizing infrastructure and migrating to cloud services. This generational shift offers the potential for greater agility and efficiency. To realize these benefits, IT leaders must mature their data management practices to account for the cloud era. At the same time, leaders in government must embrace new practices, like zero trust security, that protect against sophisticated attackers and improve cyber resiliency, starting with a thoughtful IT strategy powered by modern platforms.

Refresh your backup and recovery strategy

Many government agencies are modernizing legacy IT infrastructure, including multi-point backup and recovery products. The motivation for this change: the status quo is complex, expensive to manage, and fails to deliver the security these customers require. What’s more, systems often take too long to recover after an incident, adversely impacting citizens’ experience and operational efficiencies.

Cohesity simplifies data security and management by converging backup, recovery, replication, and disaster recovery on a single, hyperconverged, cloud-native platform. As a unified, scale-out solution, Cohesity eliminates legacy data protection silos and simplifies management with a single user interface and policy-based automation.

Counter ransomware attacks

Data is central to digital government. That’s why data has simultaneously become the most valuable and the most targeted asset. Cohesity helps counter ransomware attacks so your agency can quickly recover data and resume normal operations. Cohesity’s solutions feature a multilayered approach to protect backup data against and detect ransomware, while facilitating rapid recovery from an attack. What’s more, our unique immutable architecture protects your backup data from being encrypted, modified or deleted. Using machine learning, it provides visibility and continuously monitors for any anomalies in your data. If the worst happens, Cohesity helps to locate a clean copy of data across your global footprint, including public clouds, to instantly recover and reduce downtime.

Cohesity and Action Technology Services recently received a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) on the NAWCAD Lakehurst Contract. This will streamline the process for federal government agencies to acquire and use Cohesity’s Data Management Platform
