Cohesity Teams with Google Cloud on Cyber Defense

Cohesity has announced an expanded partnership with Google Cloud to help organizations tackle increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. With enterprises losing an average of $540,000 per hour in downtime, the need for robust cyber resilience has never been more critical.

This collaboration introduces new AI-powered solutions that enable earlier threat detection, faster incident response, and rapid data recovery. As a result, organizations can reduce business risk and minimize disruption.

Key updates include the integration of Google Threat Intelligence into the Cohesity Data Cloud, offering enhanced threat detection using insights from over 450 global threat actors and 1,100+ annual investigations. This enables faster identification and containment of risks.

Cohesity is also partnering with Mandiant, a Google company, for incident response. Cohesity’s CERT team and Mandiant’s experts will now collaborate to help joint customers mitigate cyberattacks, recover critical data, and reduce downtime.

Another major development is the ability to create a Cloud Isolated Recovery Environment (CIRE) in Google Cloud. Built with Mandiant, this solution allows organizations to securely restore operations after an attack.

Additionally, Cohesity is integrating with Google Security Operations to enhance customers’ data protection and security posture.

To help businesses derive more value from their data, Cohesity is also launching new AI-driven features. Through the integration of Cohesity Gaia with Google Agentspace, customers will be able to search across enterprise data quickly and securely. With Gemini models from Google Cloud, users gain advanced reasoning capabilities for deeper insights.

Furthermore, the integration of Google Gemini with Cohesity Gaia strengthens Cohesity’s AI-powered enterprise search assistant, enabling intelligent data discovery and analysis.

Stephen Orban, VP at Google Cloud, stated that the partnership will help organizations improve cyber resilience and accelerate digital transformation. Johnny Karam, VP at Cohesity, added that the collaboration aims to reduce both legislative and reputational risks while empowering businesses with AI-enhanced data access. Vikram Kanodia, VP at Cohesity, emphasized that the joint solutions are designed to protect business data and turn it into a strategic asset.

The new integrations with Google Cloud are expected to be available by summer 2025. The Mandiant partnership and integration with Google Security Operations are already live.
