Cohesity, an AI-powered data security company, has announced the release of NetBackup 11.0. This powerful update introduces several new features to help organizations defend against current and future cyber threats.

The latest release reflects Cohesity’s continued investment in NetBackup. It brings enhanced data protection tools, including quantum-proof encryption, advanced analytics, and expanded support for PaaS workloads.

According to Vasu Murthy, SVP and Chief Product Officer at Cohesity, “This is our most powerful NetBackup release yet. Organizations need smarter defense strategies as cyberattacks grow more advanced. NetBackup 11.0 helps reduce the impact of today’s threats and prepares for post-quantum risks.”

The new version includes quantum-proof encryption that protects data across all major communication paths. This guards against future “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks. It secures data in transit and at rest with advanced encryption.

It also offers broader monitoring of user behavior. This helps detect unusual actions, even when attackers use compromised admin credentials. Such monitoring can slow down or block threats in real-time.

Additionally, NetBackup 11.0 improves risk scoring. It automatically applies recommended security settings and intercepts suspicious changes using multi-factor authentication. This makes it harder for attackers to alter configurations undetected.

Cloud support is also stronger. The update protects more PaaS workloads, including Amazon DocumentDB, Yugabyte, Azure Cosmos DB, GitHub, GitLab, and more. It also supports disaster recovery from cloud archive tiers like Amazon S3 Glacier and Azure Archive.

NetBackup 11.0 is now available globally. It meets strict cybersecurity standards and is endorsed by Sheltered Harbor for financial institutions and critical infrastructure.

In parallel, Cohesity announced a major milestone in database protection. The company is now the first data protection vendor to achieve Nutanix Ready validation for Nutanix Database Service (NDB).

This new integration allows Cohesity DataProtect to work with NDB’s native time machine. It simplifies backup for PostgreSQL databases through a unified control plane.

Vasu Murthy added, “Every second of downtime carries a cost. With this integration, Cohesity and Nutanix are helping global enterprises protect critical operations with speed and security.”

The joint solution boosts cyber resilience. It uses AES-256 and FIPS-compliant encryption and prevents deletion or overwriting of data for a set period. It also improves efficiency with advanced deduplication and compression.

Cohesity and Nutanix offer high scalability, faster backups, and a streamlined experience through a single dashboard. This helps enterprises meet growing data demands while staying secure and compliant.
