Every customer we talk to says the same thing, they have backups, but they're not really sure if they can recover fast when something goes wrong. And the truth is, they're right to worry. I'm Nikita Omkar, part of the product marketing team here at Cohesity. And I'm Jed Wallace, technical marketing manager with Cohesity. And today we're going to talk about how Cohesity Data Protect as a service can help you increase your cyber resiliency. Thanks Jed. Today, data lives everywhere. Whether it's Microsoft 365, VMware, Salesforce, file shares, databases, you name it. And all of this data is spread across different locations, whether it's your data center, your edge location, or the public cloud. Now, each of these workloads has its own backup solution, its own challenges, and its own interface. So, when a ransomware or an outage happens, you're stuck scrambling together a recovery plan on the fly. Now, this gap between backup and recovery, that's where risk lives. Right, Nikita. And the challenges are real. With ransomware, the risk is your data is compromised. You have outages. Your reputation is at stake. You have complex operations with siloed tools throughout your data center and slow recovery. You need to be able to get your data and your users back online quickly. And that's where Cohesity Data Cloud and Cohesity Data Protect as a service changes the game. You don't have to manage a patchwork of backup tools to get your data back up and running. All you get is one single secure SaaS solution to protect all of your data, no matter where it lives. No patchwork solutions, no silos, no waiting around. One single unified hybrid and multi-cloud platform to recover all of your data, whether it's in your data center, at the edge location, or in any of the public clouds. And the best part, it's built with security at its core. Yeah, you mentioned security, Nikita, and I'm glad you did, because some of the benefits with security, role-based access controls, implementing MFA to protect your systems, and immutable backups, a read-only copy of your data air-gapped so those attackers can't get to it, and simplified operations. And the most important, in my mind, is rapid recovery, the ability to get your data, your clean data, up and running so your users can log in and you can start generating that sweet cash. Awesome. Especially because if you have a backup that you can't recover in time, then what's the whole point? So let's run through a hypothetical scenario where ransomware hits your VMware overnight. What are we going to do? I'll tell you what we're going to do. We're going to isolate the blast radius, and then we're going to restore from a mutable backup copy, and then we're going to restore clean. No panic, no waiting around for tapes, no downtime. All before the attackers can finish their pizza. And this is where Cohesity Data Protect as a Service comes into play, simplifying your protection and giving you the ability to recover fast. It's not just backup for backup's sake. It's cyber resilience that's fast, smart, and proven. And this is how we close the gap.

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.
