Enterprise-grade ransomware 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 ransomware resilience without enterprise-level complexity or overhead.
Your data lives everywhere—on-prem, multicloud, and SaaS. Your resilience strategy should too.
This isn’t a patchwork of basic tools.
It’s a unified platform built to protect everything — efficiently.
Seventy-six percent of organizations have experienced a destructive cyberattack in the past year with most threat actors targeting backups. Cohesity Essentials include comprehensive data security.
The result: recover data 2x faster, identify threats sooner, recover from cyber attacks with confidence—without adding operational burden.
Enterprise solutions often include features, add-ons, and licensing complexity that increase spend without delivering proportional value.

Strong resilience. Optimized spend. No enterprise overhead.
