Cohesity partners with Ownbackup

Data security outfit Cohesity has teamed up with OwnBackup in a technology partnership to deliver customers a modern data security and management solution for their essential SaaS applications.

Cohesity and OwnBackup say they can manage this across an array of popular SaaS applications including Salesforce, Microsoft 365, ServiceNow, and Microsoft Dynamics 365.

This partnership will provide customers of OwnBackup and Cohesity with enhanced capabilities to backup and recover multiple data types, across a wide array of SaaS applications.

Epicor senior director Dan Lepine said. “We look forward to seeing how the partnership between Cohesity and OwnBackup can simplify how we protect and manage our most important asset: our corporate data. Being able to visualise and manage our on-premises and SaaS backup data side-by-side can bring efficiencies into how we manage those data sets.”

This partnership is intended to help joint customers advance cyber resiliency within their organizations. For example, customers will be able to rely on immutability and strict access controls to recover their data predictably in the event of a data breach. From mainframe systems to modern SaaS-based applications, the joint solution will be designed to consolidate the protection of leading SaaS applications on a single solution, streamlining IT operations, reducing attack vectors for cybercriminals to exploit, and ensuring business continuity in the event of data disruption.

ESG Research Practice Director Christophe Bertrand said that customers were using more SaaS apps.

“Recent research we conducted at Enterprise Strategy Group shows that while many of these SaaS applications are considered mission-critical, data protection is lagging behind:  there is a disconnect that could lead to serious SaaS data loss consequences.  That’s why the (strategic) partnership between Cohesity and Ownbackup is not only timely, it is critical for helping organisations simplify and optimize the protection of their key data assets,”Bertrand said.
