Data management firm Cohesity has introduced FortKnox, a software as a service (SaaS) data isolation and recovery solution, adding to the company’s Data Management as a Service portfolio of offerings that run on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
FortKnox is a modern data isolation solution that can play a critical role in helping organisations minimise the impact of cyber-attacks such as ransomware. It is designed to provide an additional slayer of off-site protection while dramatically simplifying operations and lowering costs compared to magnetic-tape and self-managed data vaults.
The SaaS offering also helps enterprises meet recovery service level agreement (SLA) requirements and regulatory requirements.
FortKnox powers a modern 3-2-1 option fit for the cloud era that effectively balances organisations’ security and agility priorities. It’s a cloud solution that allows customers to simply connect, vault, and recover.
Vaulted data is kept secure and out of the hands of bad actors via a virtual air gap that is achieved through physical separation, and network and management isolation. This clean data can be recovered from the Cohesity-managed cloud vault back to the original source location – or alternate targets, including the public cloud – in support of business continuity objectives.
“Cyber resilience is a top business priority for organisations,” said Brian Spanswick, Chief Information Security Officer, Cohesity. “Providing off-site data isolation through this SaaS offering is another way we are helping customers combat increasingly sophisticated attacks and accelerate recovery, while also enabling SecOps and compliance teams to sleep better at night.”
Cohesity FortKnox complements Cohesity’s Threat Defense data security architecture. It’s available globally from Cohesity and its partner ecosystem as a subscription-based SaaS offering.
