Data management provider Cohesity Inc. today announced enhancements to its artificial intelligence-powered data security management platform aimed at improving generative AI detection and recovery capabilities.

The new additions to the Cohesity Data Cloud, the company says, allow customers to use its built-in AI capabilities to detect, investigate and address potential threats rapidly within their environment, enabling them to restore operations far more quickly.

The release seeks to address the issue wherein organizations lack cybersecurity expertise to respond to threats. The Data Cloud takes on the challenge of constrained information technology budgets and cybersecurity expertise shortages by providing comprehensive data security, management and recovery solutions that simplify the process of identifying threats, mitigating issues and recovering quickly from incidents, according to Cohesity.

The new capabilities, which include enhanced threat detection, a new cyber recovery assistant tool and a clean-room design environment, offer customers a “guided incident response wizard” so they can move from alert to recovery more confidently.

The new AI-powered cyber recovery assistant tool for the Data Cloud simplifies the incident response process by providing expert guidance on the appropriate response. It allows customers to receive alerts on anomalous behaviors, assess the impact and get directions for investigation and remediation, all within the wizard. The goal is better understanding of the anomaly and more confident engagement with the security operations team for timely incident response and rapid restoration of normal business operations.

Cohesity says its clean room design offers a trusted foundation that speeds incident recovery, supports security operations teams’ investigations and minimizes secondary attack risks by isolating breaches within minutes. Its threat-hunting feature, coupled with rapid system snapshots, enables real-time understanding of adversary techniques and forensic analysis, allowing teams to mitigate threats swiftly and restore normal business operations promptly.

Cohesity is a venture capital-backed company, having last raised $150 million in late-stage funding from IBM Corp. and Nvidia Corp. in April.

Kit Beall, chief revenue officer of Cohesity, and Chris Klosterman, its alliances field chief technology officer, spoke with theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media Inc.’s livestream studio last week to discuss how Cohesity looks at the other side of the coin by integrating AI into data security since the cost of inaction in case of an attack is huge.
