Terry KS Cohesity has unveiled new enhancements across its data protection and security portfolio to help enterprises secure AI-driven operations. The updates include sovereign cloud partnerships, advanced threat detection capabilities and simplified solutions for midsize organizations.
SINGAPORE, 11 MARCH 2026 – Cohesity has announced a series of new enhancements across its data protection and security portfolio, reinforcing its strategy to support enterprise AI resilience as organizations increasingly adopt artificial intelligence at scale.
The updates include new sovereign cloud collaborations, expanded threat detection and recovery capabilities, and simplified product packaging designed to extend enterprise-grade cyber resilience to midsize organizations. Together, the announcements reflect the company’s broader effort to build a unified platform that protects, secures and extracts insights from enterprise data in the AI era.
As part of the announcement, Cohesity introduced its Enterprise AI Resilience strategy, aimed at helping organizations both power and protect their AI initiatives. The company also launched Cohesity Data Security Posture Management powered by Cyera, along with new enhancements to Cohesity Gaia.
According to Vasu Murthy, the rapid adoption of AI technologies is simultaneously increasing the value of enterprise data and the risks associated with it.
He noted that modern cyber resilience requires organizations to detect threats early, recover systems to a verified clean state and maintain visibility across increasingly complex IT environments. The new updates, he said, build on the core data protection capabilities that enterprises rely on as AI becomes embedded in their operations.
Strengthening Data Protection Through Sovereign Cloud Partnerships
As regulatory requirements around data sovereignty and jurisdiction continue to evolve globally, organizations are increasingly seeking cloud architectures that support both compliance and cyber resilience. To address this demand, Cohesity is expanding its sovereign cloud ecosystem through new collaborations with AntemetA and Singtel.
These partnerships build on Cohesity’s existing role as a launch partner for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud and its certification as a regulated and sovereignty-ready partner within Google Cloud. In Canada, the company is also working with Micrologic to deliver sovereign cloud data protection services.
By expanding its sovereign cloud network, Cohesity aims to help organizations maintain control over data residency while strengthening cyber resilience across distributed environments.
Enhancing Threat Detection and Recovery Capabilities
With enterprises increasingly operationalizing AI tools and agents, security teams must address new categories of risk associated with automated systems. To address these challenges, Cohesity is introducing several enhancements designed to improve threat detection and accelerate system recovery.
One key capability is integrated threat scanning for self-managed Cohesity FortKnox environments. This feature enables customers with strict digital sovereignty requirements or isolated infrastructure to scan vaulted data for malware and verify clean recovery points before restoring systems.
The company is also introducing integrated threat scanning for dark-site deployments of Cohesity Data Cloud. These environments operate fully disconnected from the public internet, allowing organizations with highly restricted security requirements to maintain resilience while performing malware and compromise detection.
Additional security improvements include self-encrypting drives and embedded malware scanning for Cohesity NetBackup Flex Appliance. These features strengthen protection for data stored on physical devices while ensuring that malicious threats can be detected directly within the appliance environment.
Cohesity is also introducing cloud application environment recovery using a declarative design approach. By rebuilding systems using infrastructure-as-code configurations as a trusted baseline, organizations can accelerate recovery processes while reducing configuration drift and preventing the reintroduction of vulnerabilities.
The company recently expanded its security collaboration with Google as well. New capabilities include a managed service option for Cohesity FortKnox on Google Cloud and integrations with Google Threat Intelligence and Google Private Scanning within Cohesity Data Cloud. These integrations embed advanced threat analysis and sandbox inspection into backup and recovery workflows, helping organizations detect hidden threats before restoring data.
Expanding Data Visibility and AI Insights
To strengthen its broader data security ecosystem, Cohesity also introduced the Cohesity DSPM solution powered by Cyera. The platform continuously discovers, classifies and analyzes sensitive data across cloud, SaaS and AI-driven environments.
By providing visibility into data exposure risks and enabling prioritized remediation, the solution helps organizations reduce potential vulnerabilities before incidents occur.
On the innovation side, Cohesity continues to enhance its AI-driven analytics capabilities through Cohesity Gaia. The platform enables organizations to generate insights from data already protected within the Cohesity Data Cloud environment.
New features include federated semantic search using the Model Context Protocol, allowing AI-powered enterprise applications such as Glean to securely access governed backup data. The company also introduced the Cohesity Gaia Catalog, which will enable teams to discover and analyze protected datasets directly from analytics platforms such as Databricks and Microsoft Fabric.
Bringing Enterprise Cyber Resilience to Midsize Organizations
In addition to new security and AI capabilities, Cohesity is expanding accessibility to its platform through the introduction of Cohesity Essentials.
Designed specifically for midsize organizations, the offering provides simplified pricing and packaging while delivering access to Cohesity’s enterprise-grade cyber resilience technologies. The goal is to reduce complexity and overhead while enabling more businesses to deploy advanced data protection, security and AI-driven insights.
As organizations increasingly rely on AI-driven systems and large-scale data ecosystems, the need for integrated protection, security and intelligence capabilities continues to grow. Through these new platform enhancements, Cohesity aims to help enterprises strengthen resilience while accelerating innovation in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
