Introducing the Cohesity Field CISOs and Field CTO

The worlds of data security and management are coming together at a feverish pace. But keeping up with new developments while building your optimal cyber resilience and recovery strategy doesn’t have to be complex, expensive, or time-consuming.

At Cohesity, we’ve pioneered the concept of a single data management platform that converges multiple use cases. From data protection, to data mobility, to data security, data insights, and data access. We can do this all at 10x the speed and at 50% of the cost of traditional solutions.

The events of the past few years have taught us all about the importance of resilience. Cyber resilience is important too, now that ransomware has become a household term. We all know the impact is far and wide. Despite best efforts, there’s no stopping cybercriminals from coming up with new and novel attacks on your business and operations. What we can do is ensure your data is resilient to these attacks and recovery can be done quickly and with confidence.

How we can help

Our team is here to consult with you to help build your cyber resilience and recovery strategy. We come with a wealth of diverse experiences, having built technology and cyber strategies for hundreds of large organizations across the globe.

We can help you:

  • Run a workshop
  • Give guidance as you build your strategy
  • Bring your IT and Security teams together
  • Cut through the vendor noise and achieve the outcomes you’re looking for
