A data security and management company has recently released version 7.0 of its Cohesity Data Cloud platform. This new version provides customers with improved cyber resilience features to help protect their data from cyberattacks. These features include improved access control, faster ransomware recovery for files and objects, and the ability to reduce the attack surface with AWS GovCloud support. Cohesity 7.0 focuses on a data-centric approach to cyber resilience, which includes data immutability, data isolation, and recovery at scale. According to Chris Kent, VP product and solutions marketing at Cohesity, organizations are facing major challenges when it comes to managing and securing their data across cloud and on-premises, with ransomware and data theft being their biggest concern. Cohesity Data Cloud 7.0 adds an extra layer of protection and recovery for organizations' most important data. It also offers hardened access controls, data lifecycle features, and AWS GovCloud support. Hardened access controls help to make it more difficult for threat actors to tamper with backup data. Split key capabilities require multiple people to authenticate for privileged access to administrative controls, so that no single administrator can issue privileged commands. Cohesity has also improved ransomware recovery for files and objects with Cohesity SmartFiles. Data lifecycle features are designed to reduce the attack surface for data exfiltration, and custom security policies help to secure unstructured data from unauthorized access and attacks. The new release also introduces new capabilities for analyzing and visualizing data utilization on third party NAS systems, and it adds support for AWS GovCloud for target data and metadata protection. Additionally, it offers support for local backup on third-party platforms such as Lenovo SR645, HPE DL360 and DL380, Cisco UCS C220M6 AFC and C240 M6, and Dell 740XD for private cloud deployments. According to Randy Kerns, senior strategist and analyst at Evaluator Group, Cohesity Data Cloud 7.0's split key and KMS auto-failover capabilities are a great way to help customers and partners protect their data from cyberattacks.
