Cohesity, a leader in innovative data management, today announced it has been named a Leader in this year's Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Backup and Recovery Software Solutions. The company obtains the recognition of "Leader" for the third consecutive time and it is the fourth time that it is included in this report.
Cohesity dramatically simplifies data management for customers around the world, including four of the top ten Fortune 500 companies, five of the top ten U.S. banks, and two of the top five global pharmaceutical companies. As these organizations continue to grapple with a rise in increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity threats, Cohesity has maintained a high pace of innovation, focusing on creating and offering solutions that make data management simple to administer and scale, while protecting key data sources and improving cyber resilience.
The main innovations introduced in the last year include:
- Multi-layered protection against sophisticated cyber threats: Cohesity Threat Defense is a multi-layered data security and cyber resilience architecture that helps customers identify threats through Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning, protect data, and easily recover from sophisticated ransomware attacks. The architecture helps customers deeply strengthen their defense strategy with a focus on data resilience, rigorous access control, AI-powered detection and analytics, and simple, out-of-the-box integration with leading security tools, including recent integrations with Cisco SecureX e CortexTM XSOAR at Palo Alto Networks to help automate response in the event of an attack.
- Fight ransomware with a SaaS data isolation and recovery solution: Cohesity FortKnox, a software as a service (SaaS) solution for data isolation and recovery, can play a critical role in helping organizations minimize the impact of cyber attacks such as ransomware. It is designed to provide an additional layer of off-site protection, significantly simplifying operations and reducing costs compared to magnetic tape and self-managed data vaults. The SaaS offering also helps companies meet service level agreement (SLA) recovery requirements and regulatory requirements.
- Cohesity DataProtect delivered as a Service (DRaaS): This offering extends the exceptional disaster recovery (DR) capabilities provided by Cohesity DataProtect delivered as a Service and adds the ability to use Amazon Web Services (AWS) as a recovery home for failover and failback in a software as a service (SaaS) model. This not only gives customers greater choice and flexibility, but also helps them minimize downtime and data loss, meet service level agreements (SLAs), simplify operations, reduce costs and improve time to value.
“Being named a Leader in this report for the third consecutive time highlights the value Cohesity offers customers in simplifying their data management operations,” he said Lynn Lucas, Chief Marketing Officer di Cohesity. “As our customers face the ongoing threats of ransomware and other vulnerabilities, we continue to innovate to deliver what we consider to be the most comprehensive and flexible data management solution on the market, offering protection for traditional and modern data sources, including SaaS and cloud-native, all in a single platform managed through a single console.”
Customer testimonials that highlight the value of Cohesity solutions
"Cohesity offers additional protection in the event of an attack. The cluster itself is immutable and encrypted, therefore very secure. Since the data is not accessible to outsiders, it is not subject to ransomware attacks" – Michael Grillo, Principal Engineer of Foxwoods Resort Casino
"My main concern with any technology we acquire is knowing that we don't need additional manpower to manage it. Cohesity didn't take a lot of time or effort to install, and day in and day out, it's easy to use as a reliable, enterprise-class data management platform for backing up our mission-critical workloads" – Danny Yeo, Director Computing Technology & Services, Life Sciences IT at Brigham Young University
