3315: The New Age of Cyber Resilience with Cohesity
Manage episode 489027568 series 2391590
How can organizations protect their most valuable asset, data, while harnessing its true potential through AI-driven insights? These are the questions I set out to answer on the recent IT Press Tour in Silicon Valley.
In my latest conversation at the Santa Clara offices of Cohesity, I sat down with Sanjay Poonen, President and CEO, to discuss how this company has positioned itself at the heart of the AI era with a modern data cloud built for speed, security, and intelligence.
From my early days interviewing Cohesity’s technical minds to now hearing directly from Sanjay about the company’s transformation, it is clear that Cohesity’s mission to shield, manage, and unlock data value is gaining momentum like never before.
This episode takes you deep into the company’s evolution. We explore how Cohesity started by reinventing traditional backup and recovery, then scaled through bold leadership, culminating in its significant acquisition of the NetBackup business from Veritas. Sanjay walks me through how this move instantly propelled Cohesity to market leadership in data security and cyber resilience, serving over 13,000 organizations worldwide across various sectors, including healthcare, finance, government, and retail.
We also examine how Cohesity is using AI not only to help clients recover from cyber threats but to mine vast troves of live and backup data for powerful, real-time business insights. Sanjay explains the partnership with NVIDIA and how Cohesity’s patented retrieval augmented generation capabilities are setting new benchmarks for generative AI applications within backup environments. For businesses grappling with data sovereignty and the increasing return to on-premises solutions, Sanjay shares how Cohesity’s innovations balance local compliance requirements while leveraging cloud agility.
What resonated most with me was Sanjay’s candid perspective on leadership during rapid growth and mergers, from uniting thousands of employees under a shared culture to maintaining a relentless customer-first mindset. If you have ever wondered how a company can become a real force in both AI and cybersecurity, this conversation is filled with insights, real-world examples, and a clear vision for how Cohesity plans to shape the next generation of data management.
Are you ready to rethink how your organization secures and activates its data in an AI-driven future? Tune in and discover what lies ahead on this data-powered journey.
