Identity Resilience FAQs 

Yes, Cohesity Identity Resilience can help you test and simulate identity recoveries. Manual recoveries of Active Directory and Entra ID tend to be so difficult and complex that many organizations postpone or never test their identity recovery capabilities. Cohesity Identity Resilience makes it easy to test and simulate and identity recovery process. 

Yes, Cohesity can support protection and recovery of both large AD environments with full Active Directory Forest recoveries in the case of a cyberattack and/or catastrophic outage. Cohesity can also support granular recoveries in the case of accidental deletions, misconfigurations, or restoring attributes.  

Cohesity enables customers to restore their critical identity infrastructure up to 90% faster with automated recoveries, speeding a typical recovery time of weeks to days or hours. Traditional recoveries of Active Directory and Entra ID can require over 40 manual steps that are complex and error-prone, adding more stress to the chaos of a cyber incident response.

Identity resilience is the ability to secure, recover, and perform forensics on identity systems. This reduces the impact of a cyber event and decreases down time so an organization can bounce back quickly and securely. Identity systems like Active Directory and Entra ID are critical to the functioning of many organizations today. When they go down, business often grinds to a halt. At the same time, identity workloads can be very complex and challenging to protect and recover. It's critical to adopt the right solutions to make sure your critical identity infrastructure is protected end-to-end and you can recover them quickly and confidently. 

Cohesity has several solutions that help protect Active Directory and Entra ID across the entire attack lifecycle. First, we help to proactively harden your platforms by identifying vulnerabilities and excessive user privileges that can prevent a compromise or ransomware attack from occurring in the first place. If a ransomware attack has taken place, Cohesity can help you automate the process of recovery of your entire Active Directory forest in a few clicks and ensure that you can cleanly recover without internet access and with flexible OS provisioning. By protecting and recovering Active Directory first, you can restore the source of truth for Entra ID (since Entra ID is typically synced or federated to Active Directory). We also provide similar recovery solutions for Entra ID that allow you to recover with immutable, indelible, and durable backups. 

Cohesity provides several solutions that automate the recovery process to up to a few clicks for Active Directory and Entra ID—cutting downtime by up to 90%. Cohesity also provides 24/7 expert incident response support and forensics to ensure that organizations recover from cyberattacks or catastrophic outages quickly and confidently.
