Cohesity DataProtect
By Cohesity
Cohesity's backup and recovery product, storing data as DataLock immutable snapshots and scanning inside those backups for threats and anomalies. Its FortKnox service adds an air-gapped, vendor-managed cyber vault holding an isolated recovery copy, and it protects a broad range of workloads — including large legacy estates migrated off Veritas NetBackup.

Capability checklist
BCDRHow Cohesity DataProtect measures up against the full Backup & Cyber Recovery taxonomy.
- Immutable backups — supported
- Stores backup copies that can't be altered, encrypted, or deleted for a set retention period, so a clean recovery point survives even if attackers reach the backup system itself.
- Air-gapped vaulting — supported
- Keeps an isolated recovery copy in a separate, network-segmented or offline vault that ransomware spreading through the production network can't reach.
- Ransomware anomaly detection — supported
- Scans backups for signs of mass encryption or unusual change rates, flagging a ransomware attack and helping pinpoint the last clean recovery point.
- DR orchestration & recovery testing — not supported
- Automates failover to standby infrastructure and regularly tests that a recovery actually works, instead of assuming the backups will restore when they're needed.
- Broad workload coverage — supported
- Backs up many kinds of workloads — VMs, SaaS apps, Kubernetes, cloud services, and endpoints — from one platform rather than a separate tool per system.
- Granular restore — supported
- Recovers at the level actually needed — a single file, mailbox, VM, or database — and can bring workloads back quickly instead of only restoring everything at once.
