Cyera expands its partnership with Cohesity to bring AI-native data discovery and classification directly into enterprise recovery workflows.
Key Takeaways
1. Closing the Enterprise Data Visibility Gap
60% of enterprises lack visibility into at least half of their data estate (Enterprise Strategy Group / Omdia). As AI adoption accelerates across cloud, SaaS, and hybrid environments, AI-native Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) is critical to identify sensitive data, reduce exposure, and strengthen compliance readiness.
2. AI-Native DSPM Built for Enterprise Scale
Cohesity selected Cyera for its AI-native data discovery and classification, delivering deployment in minutes, proven scale across global hybrid environments, and 95%+ classification accuracy. The result: fast time to value with precision across structured and unstructured data.
3. Connecting Data Security to Ransomware Recovery
Cyera and Cohesity integrate agentless data discovery, classification, governance, and remediation directly into cyber resilience and ransomware recovery workflows. Organizations can prioritize critical data, accelerate incident response, reduce regulatory risk, and lower storage costs by eliminating redundant, obsolete, and trivial (ROT) data.
The Cyber Resilience Gap No One Can Ignore
AI is reshaping how enterprises use data, and raising the bar for how it must be secured.
Sensitive data is scattered across cloud environments, SaaS apps, on-prem systems, and now inside AI copilots and agentic workflows. Data is everywhere. And much of it is not understood.
Protecting data in the AI era requires more than isolated controls. It demands visibility and governance across the full data lifecycle: from data at rest and in motion to the backups organizations rely on for recovery. CIOs and CISOs are looking for a comprehensive approach that connects data intelligence with protection and resilience.
Enterprise Strategy Group (now Omdia) found that 60% of enterprises lack visibility into at least half of their data estate.
That’s a serious blind spot. When visibility is limited, risk increases. Response slows down. And when ransomware hits, teams are scrambling to answer basic questions:
- What data was exposed?
- What is business-critical?
- What should we restore first?
- What carries compliance risk?
You cannot recover with confidence if you do not know what you are recovering. That is the problem this expanded partnership addresses.
Enterprise-Scale Data Security for Cyber Resilience
Today, we are excited to announce the general availability of Cohesity Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), powered by Cyera. Through this strategic collaboration, Cohesity combines Cyera’s AI-native, modern DSPM with its advanced, leading cyber resilience portfolio, enabling enterprises to reduce data and AI risk while connecting visibility, protection, and recovery across hybrid environments.
Because here’s the reality: securing enterprise data has never been more complicated.
After an incident, the gaps become obvious. Omdia reports that 34% of organizations hit by ransomware said better data classification and protection would have made the biggest difference.
Cohesity DSPM, powered by Cyera, delivers continuous, AI-driven visibility across distributed environments.
It brings AI-native discovery and classification built to operate across complex, modern data estates, with the scale and precision large enterprises require.
Why Cohesity Selected Cyera
When Cohesity evaluated how to bring DSPM into its platform, the priority was clear: deliver enterprise-grade capabilities that match the scale and complexity of modern data environments.
As Sanjay Poonen, CEO of Cohesity, shared:
“You want to either build the best or partner with the best.”
Cyera was selected because it delivers the core capabilities large enterprises require:
- Speed – Deployment in minutes, with rapid time to value.
- Scale – Designed for the largest global environments across cloud, SaaS, and hybrid data estates.
- Precision – AI-native classification with 95%+ accuracy and minimal tuning.
- Actionability – Risk intelligence that enables prioritization and remediation, not just reporting.
AI adoption is amplifying how data is created, shared, and accessed. DSPM must keep pace with that reality.
How AI-Native Data Security Strengthens Cyber Resilience
Cyera’s AI-native DSPM is integrated directly into Cohesity’s cyber resilience platform. That means end-to-end coverage that point products or loosely stitched acquisitions struggle to match.
In the AI era, “good enough” discovery is not enough. You need continuous visibility and classification across your full data estate. You need protection and recovery that activate when a threat hits. Visibility, context, protection, and recovery have to move together.
What sets this apart from typical “acquire and integrate” approaches is simple. Data security and resilience require two things: always-on discovery of where sensitive data lives, and enterprise-grade protection and recoverability when it matters most. If either side is second tier, gaps remain.
For something this critical, you need leading capabilities end to end. This combination delivers the depth, performance, and confidence enterprises expect.
With Cohesity + Cyera, customers can align around the outcomes that matter:
Accelerated Response and Recovery
Understand what data is exposed and what matters most. Prioritize restoration based on sensitivity and business criticality, not guesswork.
Proactive Risk Identification
Identify sensitive data in backups. Remediate exposures before they become breaches.
Compliant and Secure Recovery
Restore critical workloads while flagging compromise indicators, exfiltration risk, and potential regulatory impact.
Cost Optimization and Attack Surface Reduction
Detect redundant, obsolete, or trivial (ROT) data. Reduce storage costs and shrink the attack surface.
Figure 1: Cyera’s rich data context and actionable intelligence integrates seamlessly with Cohesity Data Cloud to identify and eliminate gaps in the protection of sensitive data.
Cohesity + Cyera is built to deliver the full loop: discover and classify broadly, apply context to drive prioritization, protect what matters, and recover confidently.
