Cohesity and Dell announce expanded collaboration. March 25 2026 | 2 Min | technology Cohesity announces expanded Dell Technologies collaboration. Additionally, a new validated joint solution was announced featuring Cohesity DataProtect and Dell ObjectScale as a backup archive target. Cohesity and Dell Technologies share a commitment to developing solutions to help strengthen cyber resilience and simplify cyber recovery for its customers. Its existing collaboration brings together Dell PowerProtect Data Domain appliances and Cohesity NetBackup to help organizations protect their critical data assets and recover quickly when they need to. Now, Cohesity is announcing a new, validated solution featuring Cohesity DataProtect that uses Dell ObjectScale as a backup archive target. Cohesity DataProtect helps ensure that all business-critical data is protected and secured - while strengthening cyber resilience with built-in ransomware detection and rapid recovery capabilities. Dell ObjectScale provides scalable, software-defined object storage with S3 compatibility, enabling cost-effective, high-performance storage for modern applications and backup targets. By combining Cohesity DataProtect with Dell ObjectScale as a central backup archive, organizations have more options for data protection and security, such as granular control over how many copies of their data are stored, where these copies are stored, and what performance/cost ratios are best for each copy. The combined solution simplifies backup and recovery, reduces costs, and allows for business continuity. Continued support for Cohesity NetBackup and Dell PowerProtect Data Domain. Today Cohesity is also reaffirming its commitment to joint customers of Dell PowerProtect Data Domain and Cohesity NetBackup, including support for Dell's new Data Domain All-Flash applianceopens in a new tab. This integration also extends to enhanced NetBackup malware scanning for data within Data Domain. At the heart of its Data Domain and NetBackup integration is DD Boost, a data service that works directly within the NetBackup application. DD Boost streamlines backup operations and offers benefits like deduplication, increased efficiency, and centralized management. This integration is a cornerstone of its joint commitment to providing superior cyber resilience. "Choosing the right cyber resilience strategy is non-negotiable when it comes to safeguarding an organization's most valuable asset - their data," said Travis Vigil, senior vice president, ISG Product Management, Dell Technologies. "The powerful combination of integrating Dell and Cohesity solutions provides customers with unmatched efficiency, seamless integration and a future-proof approach to cyber resilience." Empower your business today. According to the recent Cohesity Global Cyber Resilience Report, 76% of organizations reported experiencing at least one material cyberattack - defined in the survey as an incident that caused measurable financial, reputational, operational, or customer churn impact. More than ever, IT and security teams need strong alliances between trusted suppliers. At Dell and Cohesity, Cohesity firmly believe and are demonstrating that cyber resilience is a team sport.

Cohesity has launched next-generation malware scanning powered by Sophos, integrated natively into its Cohesity Data Cloud platform. The feature enables organisations to detect malware in backup data that bypasses primary defences and validate clean recoveries after cyberattacks. The Sophos-powered engine uses signature-based detection, heuristic analysis and file emulation to inspect backups during routine operations, before restoration and after threat indicators are detected. It identifies zero-day, polymorphic and fileless threats that evade traditional signature-based tools. The scanning capability is included with Cohesity Data Cloud Enterprise Edition and does not require a separate Sophos licence. Sophos X-Ops draws on threat intelligence from tens of millions of endpoints and hundreds of thousands of firewalls globally, using AI-powered classification to detect emerging malware families.

Cohesity enhances cyber resilience with next-generation malware scanning powered by Sophos. New integrated capability helps organizations detect advanced threats in backup data and restore with confidence SANTA CLARA, Calif. - March 19, 2026 - Cohesity, the leader in AI-powered data security, today announced the availability of next-generation malware scanning powered by Sophos, integrated natively into Cohesity Data Cloud. Cohesity Data Cloud is the first and only data security platform to embed next-generation antivirus malware detection alongside advanced threat intelligence feeds, enabling organizations to detect malware that bypasses primary defenses and validate clean recoveries after cyberattacks. As ransomware and supply-chain attacks grow more sophisticated, malware is increasingly present in backup data, creating the risk of reinfection during recovery. Cohesity's Sophos-powered scanning detects zero-day, polymorphic, and fileless threats that evade signature-based tools. The feature is included with Cohesity Data Cloud Enterprise Edition and does not require a separate Sophos license. "Cyber resilience is a team sport, and our focus is on delivering the best outcomes for customers by bringing together the strongest technologies regardless of who developed them," said Vasu Murthy, chief product officer, Cohesity. "By deeply integrating market-leading Sophos next-generation malware detection into Cohesity Data Cloud, we're giving customers a single, seamless experience that helps them uncover hidden threats in backup data and recover with confidence." The Sophos-powered engine uses signature-based detection, heuristic analysis, and file emulation techniques to inspect backups in three scenarios: during routine backups, before restoration, and after indicators of compromise (IOCs) or YARA-based matches are detected. Incremental scanning of newly ingested data minimizes operational overhead while maintaining visibility into backup integrity. Triggered and pre-restore scans validate trusted recovery points when risk is identified. The result is deep, snapshot-level inspection far beyond approaches that rely solely on metadata. Sophos X-Ops draws on one of the industry's most extensive threat intelligence networks, spanning tens of millions of endpoints and hundreds of thousands of firewalls globally, using AI-powered classification to continuously sharpen detection of known and emerging malware families. "Attackers are sophisticated. They have proven time and again that no environment is off limits, including what was once considered the safe haven of backup and recovery systems," said Simon Reed, chief security officer, Sophos. "By embedding Sophos' deterministic and machine learning-based detection into Cohesity's platform, Sophos is helping customers reduce reinfection risk and recover with confidence." Key benefits of the new Sophos-powered malware scanning include: * Advanced threat detection: Identifies known, unknown, and zero-day threats through heuristic and behavioral analysis * Operational efficiency: Always-on incremental scanning, with automated scans triggered by IOC or YARA-based detections * Clean recovery assurance: Pre-restore inspection to prevent reinfection and reduce recovery risk * SOC integration: Shares scan results with SIEM and SOAR tools for centralized visibility and response The addition of Sophos next-generation malware scanning further differentiates Cohesity as a leader in incident response and recovery, delivering one of the industry's most comprehensive data security platforms.
