AI and ML are deeply embedded into Cohesity’s platform, enabling early detection of threats such as sudden encryption activity, irregular file access, and suspicious lateral movement—before ransomware can cause real damage. We recognize that backup is no longer a passive insurance policy; it’s evolving into an active, intelligent data layer that powers cyber resilience, compliance, and business continuity. Our AI- powered Gaia platform leverages Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to allow users to query massive volumes of unstructured data using natural language, delivering faster, simpler, and more cost-effective insights.

Even at the scale of hundreds of exabytes, our platform operates as “statistics at scale.” It identifies risks early, automates compliance, classifies sensitive data, and uncovers hidden patterns across unstructured datasets—while continuously optimizing storage decisions. We are applying AI across the board, from smart indexing and metadata search to automatic backup verification, so that recovery is not only faster but also more dependable. With deep security integration, Cohesity’s AI-first architecture enables real-time anomaly detection, malware scanning, and threat hunting—much like an immune system spotting infection.

Built with immutable-by-design architecture and zero trust by default, our backups are inherently secure and optionally encrypted, making them tamper-proof. Trusted by 85 of the Fortune 100, we’re building the industry’s most advanced AI-powered platform for data security and management. Over the next 3–5 years, we aim to lead in cyber resilience, AI-native compliance, and data classification.
