FortKnox Cybervaulting and Data Isolation
This demonstration introduces Cohesity FortKnox, a fully managed data isolation solution designed to protect against ransomware attacks through cybervaulting. The solution maintains immutable copies of data in secure cloud-based storage vaults across multiple regions, accessible through a centralized dashboard. Organizations use FortKnox for data retention, auditing, recovery, and enhancing resilience against ransomware attacks that increasingly target backup environments. The platform addresses the critical challenge that attackers rely on victims not having valid, complete backups, often forcing ransom payments.
Quorum Authorization and Recovery Workflow
FortKnox implements a Quorum authorization framework that requires multiple approvers to authorize sensitive operations, functioning like a bank safety deposit box requiring two keys. The system allows organizations to create approval groups with customizable permissions for different operations and platforms in multi-cloud environments. The demonstration walks through a complete VM recovery workflow, from selecting recovery points and configuring destination options to the quorum approval process. Protection policies define how objects are protected, replicated, and vaulted, with data lock features preventing unauthorized tampering or deletion of backups and vaulted data.
