Cohesity Essentials

Enterprise-grade cyber resilience built for modern midsize businesses

Midsize businesses face enterprise-level threats such as ransomware, data exfiltration, compliance pressure, and operational downtime, without the headcount and resources of a large IT team.

You need protection that is powerful, practical, and cost-effective.

Cohesity Essentials delivers enterprise-grade cyber resilience without enterprise-level complexity or overhead.

Comprehensive protection across your entire environment

Your data lives everywhere—on-prem, multicloud, and SaaS. Your resilience strategy should too.

  • Protection across on-prem, multicloud, and SaaS workloads
  • Coverage for Microsoft 365 and 100s of other modern applications
  • Integrated cyber vaulting, data isolation, and advanced data security
  • Robust recovery from operational errors, disasters, and cyberattacks
  • Orchestrated recovery for faster, more confident restores

This isn’t a patchwork of basic tools.

It’s a unified platform built to protect everything — efficiently.
