Protect by Design
Unify operations and save time with a single platform simplifying and strengthening data protection through authentication, authorization, encryption, segmentation, search, compliance, and recovery.
Safeguard Data as SOP
Make securing your data standard operating procedure (SOP). Speed backup with local data protection in case of accidentally deleted files, app crashes, data corruption, and viruses. Enable fast recovery of individual files and applications. Retain data to satisfy compliance or regulatory requirements. Provide off-site protection and reliable disaster recovery with Cohesity DataProtect, fully converged with Cohesity DataPlatform.
Encrypt Data
Apply data segmentation, data-at-rest, and data-in-flight protections, based on strong AES-256 Cipher Block Chaining standard with a FIPS-Certified mode for high end-to-end security and optimal use of available resources.
Prevent Unauthorized Access
Set access permissions to secondary data and applications by user type and data source. Cohesity supports authentication and authorization, including strong Active Directory integration, multi-factor authentication (MFA), access control lists, mixed-mode role-based access control (RBAC), and comprehensive system and product-level auditing.
Automate Policies
Establish granular control. Automate retention policies in Cohesity that enable you to keep personally identifiable information (PII) only for intended periods of time.
Recover Quickly
Attacks and natural disasters happen fast. Recovery must, too. Get back to business faster with always protected backups and instant recovery to any point in time with recovery point objectives (RPOs) in minutes.
Rapidly Restore with Snapshot Views
Prevent access with time-based snapshots into internal views that are never exposed, making them inaccessible to processes and software. During data restoration, Cohesity never exposes internal views, but rather clones the snapshots and only mounts the clones making rapid restore of the latest healthy snapshot easy.
Fight Ransomware with Immutable Locking
Leverage file or view-level WORM (write one, read many) for immutable locking and secure data retention capabilities to mitigate data loss and ransomware.
Catch Intruders
Obtain forensic evidence of cybercrimes. Cohesity enables an administrator, at no cost, to quickly capture a snapshot of the encrypted Cohesity View.
Verify the validity of new backups
Use Cohesity to automatically detect meaningful, unexpected changes in incoming data should ransomware be deployed to change underlying data in files rather than changing file names.
Exceed Security Expectations
Deploy a best practices security strategy that includes enterprise-grade, industry-standard, and government-certified protections. Cohesity follows best practices as well as adhering to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC) recommendation for dealing with ransomware: Perform frequent backups of system and important files and verify those backups regularly.
Certified Protection
Cohesity achieved Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) Compliance | Authorities to Operate (ATOs) and is FIPS 140-2 Level 2 Validated. Solutions are soon to be Common Criteria EAL2+ Certified (in process).
Government Cloud-Ready
Cohesity is approved for secure, FedRAMP Certified Government Cloud integrations.
Enhanced Integration
Cohesity has Internal Key Management Service (KMS) support and integrates with external KMS providers for key management.
Sensitive Information Security
Cohesity includes encryption and strong multi-factor, certificate (PIV/CAC) based authentication.
Discover Rapidly
Ensure you know what you have, so you can protect it. Cohesity search and analytics provide insights to help you quickly discover, easily report on, and if necessary, delete, sensitive information you have stored in your secondary data.
Google-Like Search
Search unstructured data for information that may be sensitive, yet unprotected. Use Cohesity Analytics Workbench applications—Pattern Finding and Password Detector—to discover details (txt, doc, pdf, xls, zip, jpeg) that may be stored in plain text or alphanumeric schemes that violate compliance rules.
Threat Remediation
Leverage real-time, global infrastructure wellness data from Cohesity Helios to empower users to make informed decisions with contextually relevant information.
Analytics Insights
Report on meaningful insights from untapped data and search results in txt file formats or integrate Cohesity with third-party data visualization tools.
We appreciate the cost effectiveness of Cohesity products which allow us to consolidate our VM and database backups and dev/test instances into a single, protected, web-scale system that automatically deduplicates, compresses and encrypts our data.
