New advanced data security and cyber resilience solutions
At Google Next 2025, we are proud to announce, together with Google Cloud, some new AI-powered capabilities and services that improve cyber resilience and help companies combat ransomware and other cybersecurity risks:
Enhanced threat detection and incident response with Google Threat Intelligence in Cohesity Data Cloud
Cohesity has been in the forefront of threat intelligence in the data protection industry with first-of-its-kind hyper-accelerated threat scanning capabilities for backup data. Customers using Cohesity Data Cloud can further enhance threat detection and incident response capabilities by leveraging Google Threat Intelligence (TI)—actionable intelligence backed by hundreds of global threat experts tracking 450+ threat actors from around the world, and insights from 1,100+ incident investigations annually. Additionally, after Google acquired Mandiant, the latter’s intelligence capabilities have also been integrated into Google’s broader security offerings. Mandiant threat intelligence combines real-world incident response, threat research, and dark web insights, providing deep expertise on nation-state, Advanced Persistent Threats (APT), and cybercriminal groups.
Integrating Cohesity Data Cloud and Google Threat Intelligence delivers a comprehensive cybersecurity and data protection solution, empowering organizations with stronger ransomware defense, proactive threat intelligence, and secure recovery capabilities. By combining Cohesity’s advanced data security and backup scanning with Google’s real-time threat insights and AI-driven malware detection, businesses can identify and mitigate cyber threats before they impact critical data, reducing the risk of operational disruption.
Using up-to-the-minute information on adversary Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) and the latest tools they leverage, Google Threat Intelligence enables customers to rapidly detect new and novel threats in Cohesity backup data. By deploying the Cohesity Clean Room Solution on Google Cloud, businesses gain access to a secure, isolated recovery environment where Google Threat Intelligence verifies data integrity before restoration—ensuring clean, uncompromised recovery while preventing reinfection.
As a cloud-native, scalable solution, this integration simplifies security operations while maximizing cyber resilience. Customers benefit from continuous threat monitoring, faster and safer recovery from ransomware attacks, and reduced operational complexity while aligning their data protection strategy with industry-leading threat intelligence. Together, Cohesity and Google enable organizations to stay ahead of cyber threats, minimize downtime, and maintain business continuity with confidence.
Rapid recovery of business operations through partnership with Mandiant Incident Response Services
Cohesity’s Cyber Events Response Team (CERT) and Google’s Mandiant Incident Response (IR) Services have now partnered to provide comprehensive incident response engagements across primary and backup data for joint customers.
By integrating Cohesity CERT and Mandiant IR Services, customers can get a comprehensive cybersecurity defense and recovery strategy across their entire on-prem and cloud data estate. Mandiant can expedite the containment, investigation, and mitigation of an attack from the customer’s primary infrastructure while Cohesity secures the backup infrastructure and helps with the recovery of the last known “clean” copy of backup data into an Isolated Clean Room environment for forensics and curated recovery. Working together, Mandiant and Cohesity minimize business downtime, loss of revenue, and reputation for customers during cyber incidents.
Cohesity CERT is a dedicated service designed to assist organizations in swiftly responding to and recovering from cyber incidents, such as ransomware attacks and data breaches. Available 24/7 as part of the standard Cohesity subscription, CERT offers expert guidance to minimize business disruption and financial loss during a cyber crisis.
Mandiant Consulting—the industry leader in incident response and cybersecurity consulting services—provides organizations with expert assistance in detecting, investigating, and responding to cyber threats. Their services are designed to help businesses mitigate attacks, recover quickly, and strengthen security postures to prevent future incidents. Mandiant is widely trusted by government agencies, financial institutions, healthcare providers, and enterprises worldwide for its in-depth expertise and rapid response capabilities.
Improved business continuity and risk mitigation with Isolated Recovery Environment in Google Cloud
The Cohesity Clean Room Solution provides organizations with a secure, isolated environment to recover and analyze data after a cyberattack, such as ransomware or insider threats. This helps to ensure that compromised systems are not reinfected while restoring critical business operations and enables safe forensic analysis. It also provides a trusted recovery point for “clean data” and supports regulatory compliance.
With the latest incident response collaboration between Cohesity and Google, customers can now deploy the Cohesity Clean Room Solution in Google Cloud. This offers a dedicated, production-ready Cloud Isolated Recovery Environment (CIRE) within Google Cloud, allowing for rapid data restoration and faster re-establishment of trust with external stakeholders in the event of a cybersecurity breach. It also facilitates near-instant business continuity while ensuring ongoing risk monitoring and mitigation.
Together, Cohesity and Mandiant plan to offer a solution that can help customers with a secure CIRE reference architecture, assessment, and validation of the recovery environment before, during, and after an incident. This includes Mandiant experts delivering periodic security assessment and reports, threat hunting, and penetration testing exercises to validate the effectiveness of the CIRE before an incident, as well as guidance on executing recovery playbooks after an incident. The solution can be used to create a production-ready replica of business-critical applications in Google Cloud to ensure minimal impact to the business in case of an incident. More details on this joint solution are expected soon.
Enhanced security posture and improved user experience with the integration of Cohesity Data Cloud and Google SecOps
Integrating Cohesity Data Cloud with Google Security Operations enables enterprises to safeguard their data assets proactively, improving consolidated threat identification, enhanced visibility, and more robust incident response capabilities. Google Security Operations is a suite of security solutions designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to cyber threats efficiently. It leverages Google’s advanced AI, automation, and cloud-native capabilities to enhance cybersecurity operations.
This powerful integration connects Cohesity’s advanced data management and threat detection capabilities with Google Security Operations’ cutting-edge analytics and security intelligence platform. Cohesity actively monitors secondary data for anomalies and Indicators of Compromise (IoCs). Once threats are identified, Cohesity seamlessly shares these actionable alerts and threat intelligence directly with Google Security Operations, enabling security teams to correlate events across the environment effectively.
How does it work?
- Automated detection: Cohesity analyzes secondary data in real time, detecting anomalies, threats like ransomware, and sensitive data exposures.
