SAN JOSE, Calif. – May 7, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Cohesity, a leader in data security and management, announced today that it has achieved Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Moderate Authorization for Cohesity Cloud Services for Government, a software as a service (SaaS) offering designed to simplify data management and data security. The solution consolidates data in the cloud, breaks down data silos, and reduces infrastructure complexity, to increase agility and derive more value from data. These cloud services can empower US government agencies and customers to modernize how they secure and manage their data, which helps protect their data against ransomware and other cyber threats.

Across the public sector, agencies are moving applications and data offsite to the cloud. With FedRAMP Authorization, Cohesity can provide a modern, agile approach to data backup and recovery when moving to the cloud. With Cohesity Cloud Services for Government, agencies can utilize a fully managed backup as a service (BaaS) running on AWS GovCloud (US) from Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS GovCloud (US) gives government customers and their partners the flexibility to architect secure cloud solutions that comply with the FedRAMP High baseline. Cohesity Cloud Services for Government is an attractive product for agencies seeking a simple, efficient, and secure option to protect and manage data while improving cyber resilience as they move to the cloud.

“Cohesity has helped thousands of organizations modernize how they secure, manage, and provide insights into their data, including over 300 federal agencies,” said Dave Kushner, vice president of Federal Sales, Cohesity. “Achieving FedRAMP authorization enables federal agencies and other organizations that require FedRAMP moderate authorization to consider Cohesity Cloud Services for Government to protect their data against cyber threats. This accreditation furthers our commitment to our public sector customers to help them better serve citizens and meet mission demands.”

Empowering the Public Sector to Simplify Data Security and Management
Cohesity Cloud Services for Government has received FedRAMP Moderate Authorization amid an increasing demand by government agencies to enhance cyber resilience while optimizing information technology (IT) costs. Public sector customers can now deploy a single multicloud platform that can simplify data security and management. This designation solidifies Cohesity’s position as a trusted security platform helping the US government protect its most critical assets – its data.

“Modern data management solutions play a more prominent role in modern cybersecurity. Cohesity’s data management technologies can help agencies and organizations improve their security postures while enhancing overall risk management,” said Marianne Bailey, a Partner at Guidehouse and former senior cybersecurity executive at the National Security Agency (NSA), and member of the Cohesity Security Advisory Council. “The company’s laser focus on radically simplifying data management helps customers manage, protect, and get more value from their data.
