What workloads does Cohesity DataProtect as a Service support?

DPaaS supports diverse workloads including Microsoft 365, VMware, Salesforce, databases, and file shares across data centers, edge locations, and public cloud environments—all managed through a single unified platform.

How does DPaaS protect against ransomware attacks?

DPaaS uses immutable, air-gapped backups that attackers cannot modify or delete, combined with role-based access controls and multi-factor authentication. During an attack, it enables rapid isolation of the blast radius and restoration from clean backup copies to minimize downtime.

TL;DR

Cohesity DataProtect as a Service unifies backup and recovery across all workloads (Microsoft 365, VMware, Salesforce, databases) under a single SaaS platform, eliminating the operational complexity of managing siloed backup tools.
Security is built into the core architecture with role-based access controls, multi-factor authentication, and immutable air-gapped backups that prevent ransomware attackers from compromising recovery data.
The platform enables rapid recovery from ransomware attacks by isolating the blast radius and restoring from clean, immutable backup copies—minimizing downtime and getting users back online quickly without waiting for tape-based recovery processes.

Summary

This demonstration addresses a critical challenge facing organizations today: the gap between having backups and being able to recover quickly when disaster strikes. Nikita Omkar and Jed Wallace from Cohesity's product marketing team introduce DataProtect as a Service (DPaaS), a unified SaaS solution designed to eliminate the complexity of managing disparate backup tools across diverse workloads including Microsoft 365, VMware, Salesforce, databases, and file shares. The presentation emphasizes how modern data sprawl across data centers, edge locations, and public clouds creates operational silos that become critical vulnerabilities during ransomware attacks or outages. DPaaS consolidates protection under a single platform with security-first architecture featuring role-based access controls, multi-factor authentication, and immutable backups that remain air-gapped from attackers. The team walks through a hypothetical ransomware scenario targeting VMware infrastructure, demonstrating how DPaaS enables rapid isolation of the blast radius and restoration from clean, immutable backup copies—delivering cyber resilience that prioritizes recovery speed over traditional backup-focused approaches. The core value proposition centers on closing the dangerous gap between backup capability and actual recovery readiness through simplified operations and proven rapid recovery mechanisms.
