Cohesity & Google Cloud Partner to Boost Digital Asset Protection

In Dubai, AI-powered data security company Cohesity announced an expanded collaboration with Google Cloud to deliver integrated solutions spanning artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and data protection.

The collaboration focuses on four main areas. For AI-ready data, enterprises can use Google’s Gemini models to power Cohesity Gaia, the company’s AI assistant, across both cloud and on-premises systems. Planned integrations include Vertex AI Search for grounded responses with citations and Gemini Enterprise to allow secure access to historical enterprise data within the Cohesity Data Cloud. A Google Cloud-hosted version of Cohesity Gaia is already available.

On the security front, Cohesity Data Cloud integrates Google Threat Intelligence to support proactive threat hunting and reactive scanning, while Cohesity’s Cyber Event Response Team works alongside Google Cloud’s Mandiant Incident Response. Further integration with Google Security Operations is planned, in addition to a future cyber resilience software-as-a-service offering that will feature cloud-isolated recovery using Google Cloud infrastructure.

Data sovereignty is addressed through Cohesity’s certification as a Google Cloud Ready – Regulated & Sovereignty Solutions partner. Deployments within the Google Cloud Data Boundary and the use of Cohesity FortKnox on Google Cloud are designed to enable immutable, isolated data copies and jurisdiction-based policy controls. Data protection capabilities extend to Google Compute Engine, Google Cloud Storage and databases, with expanded support planned for Google Kubernetes Engine, BigQuery and regional storage options via Google Cloud Marketplace.

“Our deepened partnership with Cohesity reflects a shared commitment to helping organisations unlock the full potential of their data—securely and at scale,” said Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud.
