New Cohesity Data Cloud Release 7.0 Expands Data Security and Management Capabilities to Combat Ransomware Attacks and Data Breaches>
Cohesity Press Release
SAN JOSE, Calif. â February 8, 2023 â Cohesity, a leader in data security and management, today announced the 7.0 software release of Cohesity Data Cloud. The release provides customers with enhanced cyber resiliency capabilities to help protect and secure data against cyberattacks.

With Cohesity 7.0, organizations can strengthen cyber resilience by:

Hardening privileged access: Hardened access controls for Cohesity Data Cloud enables even tighter control and management of privileged administrative accounts and protection of access credentials. These controls further increase the difficulty for threat actors to tamper with backup data. New innovative differentiators, like split key capabilities, require multiple people to authenticate for some privileged access to administrative controls. No single administrator has the ability to unilaterally issue privileged commands, thereby helping to protect data from malicious threat actors. Accelerating ransomware recovery for files and objects: Cohesity, which provides unified file and object services on its platform, is also advancing cyber resilience capabilities with Cohesity SmartFiles. New powerful data lifecycle features are designed to reduce the attack surface for data exfiltration by ensuring data is not retained for longer than necessary. Also, custom security policies help further secure unstructured data from unauthorized access and attacks. This new release will also introduce new capabilities for analyzing and visualizing data utilization on third party NAS systems. These data insights will help enterprise organizations move data to SmartFiles for secure long-term retention and data immutability â all while optimizing costs, scale, and performance for their most critical applications. Reducing attack surface through expanded platform and workload support: To help organizations further reduce their attack surface by consolidating multiple point products, 7.0 adds support for AWS GovCloud for target data and metadata protection. Additional storage targets for long-term retention, and support for local backup on third-party platforms including Lenovo SR645, HPE DL360 and DL380, Cisco UCS C220M6 AFC and C240 M6, and Dell 740XD for private cloud deployments.
