Cohesity, a leader in AI-powered data security, announced an expanded strategic partnership with CrowdStrike to strengthen threat detection and response. This partnership combines Cohesity’s robust data protection capabilities with CrowdStrike’s world-class threat intelligence feeds, setting a new standard for comprehensive cybersecurity in backup and recovery solutions.
According to CrowdStrike’s 2024 Global Threat Report, adversaries have shifted to more effective tactics, such as credential harvesting and exploiting vulnerabilities, bypassing legacy defenses while using AI and other advanced technologies to rapidly evolve their techniques. Through the latest integration between Cohesity Data Cloud and CrowdStrike Falcon Adversary Intelligence, the partnership is leveling the playing field against sophisticated cyber threats.
Cohesity’s data protection solution, combined with CrowdStrike’s industry-leading threat intel feeds, which track over 250 adversaries and incorporate indicators of compromise (IOCs), enables mutual customers to identify the latest threats in their backup copies with higher fidelity and accuracy. The powerful combination offers greater visibility into the attack by providing the latest intelligence on emerging threats while minimizing the attackers’ advantages. Threat hunting on Cohesity backup copies allows customers to investigate incidents while preventing adversaries from enacting countermeasures.
By implementing Cohesity’s clean room design and integrated tooling, customers gain specialized forensic capabilities to analyze malware, investigate breaches, and understand attack vectors without risking contamination of their broader IT environment.
