COHESITY IS BUILT FOR A MULTI-CLOUD ERA, WITH A SUPERIOR MODERN PLATFORM

Tell us about Cohesity FortKnox and how does it help in providing protection against ransomware and other cybersecurity threats?

Cohesity FortKnox is a softwareas-a-service (SaaS) data isolation and recovery solution that run on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Cohesity takes care of managing the underlying infrastructure while the service is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) — in this case, in the AWS Middle East (Bahrain) Region.

The SaaS 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 offsite protection while dramatically simplifying operations and lowering costs compared to magnetic tape and self-managed data vaults.

Traditionally, data was airgapped using magnetic tape as part of a 3-2-1 backup strategy – three copies of data, on two different media, with one of them in an offsite environment.

FortKnox powers a modern 3-2-1 option fit for the cloud era that effectively balances organizations’ security and agility priorities. It’s a cloud solution that allows customers to simply connect, vault, and recover. Vaulted data is kept secure and out of the hands of bad actors via a virtual air gap that is achieved through physical separation, and network and management isolation.

What are strategies and the plans that Cohesity has for the year 2023? Cohesity sits at the intersection of three of the highest priority business issues today – cyber security, cloud, and data management – and is poised to become a major powerhouse with industry analyst firms naming the company a leader and one of the fastest growing in its category

This is at least a $25B Total Available Market (TAM). where disruptive innovation allows modern architectures to take share from legacy players – this creates an opportunity for the next decadeplus. If we continue to execute, Cohesity is poised to become a major powerhouse in the industry in the Middle East. Cohesity is built for a multi-cloud era, with a superior modern platform that includes a self-managed and SaaS approach

Could you please explain the Zero Trust Security Model and how is it helping in detecting and protecting against ransomware attacks? Zero Trust is an approach or philosophy that is built on limiting access to data or technology solutions based on the notion of the least amount of trust. Cohesity's data management and security platform supports a zero-trust architecture, helping organizations to preserve business continuity and their reputation through effective data governance, management, and protection.
