Cohesity adds new enhancements to data cloud

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Cohesity has extended its first-mover advantage in GenAI detection and recovery capabilities with the addition of new enhancements to the Cohesity Data Cloud.

These improvements allow customers to use Cohesity’s built-in AI capabilities to detect, investigate, and address potential threats within their environment, enabling them to restore operations more quickly. New enhancements to Cohesity’s threat detection, data security posture, and cyber recovery assistant tool, and a new clean room design environment, provide customers with a guided incident response wizard. The company said this complements Cohesity Gaia, the RAG-based AI solution it released in February.

The Cohesity Data Cloud updates are designed to solve a challenges facing organizations such as constrained by IT budgets and cybersecurity expertise shortages.

Additionally, Cohesity has enhanced its AI-powered cyber recovery assistant tool for the Cohesity Data Cloud, providing guidance on the appropriate response. Using security context as input to GenAI and complementing this multiple sources including threat hunting scans, ransomware detection, data risk and posture, among others, customers can receive an alert to anomalous behaviors. They are then able to have a conversation to assess the impact of the anomaly and correlate events, and get direction on the right next steps on investigation and any remediation that could be needed–all from within the wizard without the need for specialized cyber response expertise.

“Threat actors are increasingly relying on AI to not only create more sophisticated attacks, but to also increase their volume drastically,” said Craig Martell, Chief Technology Officer, Cohesity. “We’re giving our customers the tools to fight fire with fire, helping them take on these threats to their environment and move on from them quickly, ensuring business goes on as usual. The enhanced cyber recovery assistant and clean room design will make our customers more resilient, and we’re continuing to innovate more responsible, AI-powered capabilities to the Cohesity Data Cloud.”

Other enhancements include Cohesity's clean room. It’s modular design helps isolate the attack or breach within minutes and provides several native capabilities to support the SecOps team’s needs in the clean room investigation. Cohesity Data Cloud’s threat-hunting capability provides incident responders with a curated feed, helping the organization understand the adversary's techniques throughout the attack's lifecycle, interacting with engineers in real-time and real-language. DataProtect delivers rapid access to system snapshots over the incident timeline, allowing forensic analysis of filesystems and evidence collection. With a better understanding of the incident's full scope, teams can mitigate threats faster, allowing customers to return to normal business as quickly as possible.

The cyber recovery assistant and clean room design are available in the Cohesity Data Cloud.
