In an era where data breaches and cyber threats loom large, federal agencies need more than just basic backup solutions. Cohesity DataProtect emerges as a resilience powerhouse, offering a modern, FedRAMP-authorized platform that strengthens cybersecurity postures while ensuring seamless data recovery across diverse environments.
Why Legacy Backup Tools Fall Short
Federal agencies face mounting pressure to modernize their data protection strategies. Legacy backup tools simply can’t keep pace with sophisticated cyber threats and stringent compliance requirements. Today’s agencies need solutions evaluated not only on data retention but on how quickly they can restore operations following a disaster or major cyber event.
Cohesity DataProtect addresses these challenges with a FedRAMP-authorized backup and recovery platform that spans data centers, edge computing devices, and multicloud systems. With immutable snapshots, zero-trust architecture, and AI-driven threat analytics, it delivers the resilience modern agencies require.
Key Capabilities for Mission-Critical Protection
Consistent Multi-Environment Support
One of Cohesity DataProtect’s biggest strengths is its consistency across environments. The platform seamlessly handles:
- Hybrid infrastructure – Protecting VMware vSphere and Amazon Web Services with equal efficiency
- Automated lifecycle policies – Archival and offsite recovery without manual intervention
- Smart data management – Automatic deduplication and cloud tiering
- Rapid recovery – Efficient restores that minimize downtime for mission-critical systems
AI-Powered Threat Detection
The platform’s AI-powered analytics continuously scan backup data for anomalies, providing early warning against ransomware and insider threats. These bias-free analytics deliver trustworthy insights that support both operational resilience and compliance mandates.
Scalable Architecture
Cohesity DataProtect offers easy-to-implement scalability through its purposefully designed scale-out architecture. Agencies can expand backup capacity at any time without disruptive forklift upgrades. Deduplication across environments reduces storage overhead, helping agencies meet increasingly tight federal budgets while keeping long-term data readily available.
FedRAMP Authorization Ensures Compliance
Cohesity DataProtect is officially authorized at the FedRAMP Moderate level for Software as a Service deployment. This certification means the platform has passed rigorous security assessments and is deemed safe for use in most AWS GovCloud regions.
This authorization simplifies procurement and gives IT leaders confidence that the solution aligns with federal security requirements, eliminating lengthy evaluation processes and accelerating deployment timelines.
Beyond Backup: Complete Cyber Resilience
For agencies that need to protect mission-critical systems, ensure continuity of operations, and guard against ransomware, Cohesity DataProtect offers a proven, forward-looking solution tailored for federal service.
The platform includes support from the Cohesity Cyber Event Response Team (CERT), providing agencies with expert assistance to handle even the most complex cyber incidents. This combination of technology and expertise delivers not just backup, but comprehensive resilience and peace of mind in an increasingly dangerous digital landscape.
For additional incident response resources, agencies can reference US-CERT guidance and best practices.
