Cohesity

Wiz and Cohesity’s bidirectional integration accelerates our mutual customers' ability to back up cloud resources that are at the most risk of being attacked. It brings together Wiz’s Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) with the AI-powered data security and management platform from Cohesity.

Wiz continuously analyzes configurations, vulnerabilities, sensitive data exposures, secrets, and more across workloads in the cloud to identify the critical issues that, combined, present the real risk that teams must fix. Through this integration, Cohesity’s workload protection status is merged with Wiz’s security risk data, giving customers a comprehensive view of their cloud security posture and actionable workload resilience insights to reduce cloud 
security risk. 

Integration Benefits

• Reduce cyber recovery risk by enabling backup for cloud resources at risf

• Recover critical data quickly in the event of a data breach or incident

• Improve compliance with data protection regulations

Better Together

Wiz continuously inventories workloads, analyzes configurations, vulnerabilities, sensitive data exposures, secrets, and more across workloads in the cloud to identify the critical issues that combined represent the real risk. As an example, Wiz scans your cloud to identify all the workloads that exist and then scans to identify sensitive data like protected health information (PHI) on workloads that, combined with other risks like misconfigurations, can lead to breaches. Wiz then automatically prioritizes which risks across your cloud have the most impact on your environment.

Wiz’s integration with Cohesity’s AI-powered data security and management platform seamlessly merges Wiz’s cloud workload risk analysis with the protection status of these workloads in Cohesity. The result? The ability to back up your workloads with the highest chance of being attacked will significantly impact your company. Through this bidirectional integration, you can see which resources are protected versus unprotected by Cohesity in your Wiz Inventory through custom tags, and you have visibility into Wiz Issues tied to resources Cohesity backs up. This integration breaks down silos between the disaster recovery team and security team to give a unified view of protected assets. 

Your organization has a vast cloud footprint, and ensuring all critical infrastructure has backup enabled to minimize data loss is becoming increasingly vital. You want to start this project by prioritizing the most crucial infrastructure to your business and at the highest risk of being exploited if attacked.

Challenge

• Gaining visibility into exposure risks across cloud infrastructure and data base

• Having a clear understanding of whether attacks on exposures can lead to critical infrastructure or sensitive data

• A unified view into risks associated with which cloud resources have backup enabled

Solution

 Wiz’s integration with Cohesity provides security and disaster recovery teams with a complete view of cloud resources, the risks associated with each resource, and immediate context for whether the resource has backup enabled. Wiz gives your disaster recovery team an inventory list of all your cloud resources and their correlated posture, including if a backup is enabled. You can immediately make a data informed plan for how long it’ll take your organization to back up 
 all cloud resources and the cost of that project, and you can prioritize which resources to back up based on their security posture.
