Cohesity news stories

Many IT and security decision makers are not collaborating as effectively as possible to address growing cyber threats.

Rackspace Technology has entered into a strategic partnership with Cohesity to deliver multi-cloud managed backup and recovery solutions.

Cybercriminals have never been happier, with constantly growing data footprints and operational disruption escalating the potency of cybercrime.

"We’re thrilled to see GigaOm recognise our unique innovation and name Cohesity as one of the top-ranked vendors, ahead of 13 others in the report.”

Cohesity has announced that Kirk A. Law has joined the company as senior vice president of research and development (R&D).

The new feature helps reduce human errors and achieve a higher level of cyber resilience in customer environments.

Cohesity CISO Brian Spanswick discusses the rise of ransomware in the last two years and how the worlds of compliance and data management are colliding.

This new offering extends the exceptional disaster recovery (DR) capabilities provided by Cohesity SiteContinuity, and adds the ability to use AWS as a recovery location for failover and failback.

"There has never been a more critical time to offer disaster recovery as a service."

The security and governance offerings keep customers a step ahead of bad actors launching sophisticated ransomware attacks.

The collaboration will see the integration of Cohesity's data management platform with Cisco's simplified security platform.

In this interview, two execs from Cohesity discuss the company's data management as a service (DMaaS) solutions. 

Gartner’s recognition of Cohesity as a leader speaks to the company's strengths in delivering next-generation data management.

The BaaS platform allows users to back up their data on-premises or in the cloud, while Cohesity maintains and operates the underlying infrastructure.

"Together with Cohesity, we will deliver elegant and cutting-edge solutions that will take our joint customers’ digital transformation projects to the next level."

In the newly created role, new appointee Brian Spanswick will focus on advancing and optimising IT and security for Cohesity and its customers, the company says.

The company saw year-over-year (YoY) growth in annual recurring revenues (ARR), a continued surge in customer wins globally, and a rapidly increasing number of customers spending $5 million or more in total lifetime spend on Cohesity software.

The data management organisation is now worth US$3.7 billion — an increase of $1.2 billion over the last 12 months.

If an organisation has a hybrid IT strategy, a hybrid data protection strategy is required, writes Cohesity managing director for ANZ Brad Newton.

"Companies need to have programs that support the development of their teams, in both professional and personal development."

"IT companies need to create and promote sponsorship programs to help women gain visibility, awareness, coaching, and support to further their careers within the organisation." 

During 2021, CIOs will have to work throughout their organisations and apply digital technologies and data to unlock new business opportunities, writes Cohesity head of systems engineering A/NZ Derek Cowan.

Given the restrictions caused by legacy IT infrastructure, why are more organisations not pushing ahead with plans to rid themselves of the burden?

Amazon has made an equity investment in Cohesity and together the companies are releasing a new DMaaS offering on AWS.
