Cohesity and Semperis Announce Groundbreaking Offering that Unifies Data and Identity Resilience
Cohesity Identity Resilience
Equips Organisations to Proactively Secure and Recover Identity-based
Cyberattacks
INDIA September 2025
– Cohesity and Semperis today announced a new product, Cohesity Identity Resilience,
powered by Semperis, to defend enterprises’ critical Identity infrastructure,
including Microsoft Active Directory assets from cyberattacks. Now available
for purchase from Cohesity, the solution is the strongest of its kind in the
market, enabling companies to proactively harden defences, recover rapidly, and
conduct comprehensive post-attack forensic investigations.
Active Directory is the
central nervous system of most enterprise IT environments, managing
authentication and access to critical systems, applications, and data. Active
Directory’s crucial role within IT environments makes it a primary target for
cybercriminals. When Active Directory is compromised, attackers can gain
unrestricted access to IT resources, often resulting in ransomware infection,
data theft, and prolonged business disruption.
Cohesity Identity Resilience
supports Active Directory protection and recovery across hybrid environments.
The solution helps users protect and secure on-premises Active Directory and
extends these safeguards to Microsoft Entra ID in the cloud. Organisations can
protect and recover the source of authority for objects synchronised across
their entire Active Directory and Entra ID identity landscape.
“Identity Security is one of
the key battlegrounds of cyberattacks for enterprises and governments. They
need solutions that combine prevention, resilience, and recovery without adding
complexity to their existing cyber resilience strategy,” said Sanjay Poonen,
chief executive officer, Cohesity. “Cohesity Identity Resilience delivers a
modern, proven approach that helps organisations protect the foundation of
their digital operations, so they can recover quickly from even the most
critical attacks on identity infrastructures and remain cyber resilient. We’re
excited to partner with Semperis on this effort.”
“With
Cohesity Identity Resilience, we can now offer our partners and their customers
a market defining solution that uniquely combines proactive protection, rapid
recovery and post-incident analysis. With attacks targeting identity access one
of the most rapidly accelerating attack vectors, this integrated approach
enables our ecosystem to strengthen the resilience of its hybrid environments,
while simplifying management and reducing risks,” said Yudum
Yonak, channel director of International Emerging Region, Cohesity.
Cohesity Identity Resilience
builds on Semperis’ proven expertise and technology in Active Directory
protection and recovery, delivering automated, malware-free recovery
capabilities that minimise downtime and ensure a clean, reliable path back to
normal business operations. With Cohesity Identity Resilience, customers
benefit from:
· Proactive Active Directory
hardening – Provides the ability to scan on-prem or hybrid Active Directory
environments for hundreds of indicators of exposure (IOEs), see risk scores,
apply remediation guidance, and identify and prioritise attack paths that bad
actors could use to reach critical privileged assets (Tier 0).
· Secure, immutable backups
with capability for cyber vaulting – Enables consistent backup and
recovery workflows while providing isolation of AD backups.
· Rapid and secure recovery –
Restores Active Directory forests after a cyberattack or catastrophic failure,
ensuring minimal downtime.
· Specialised identity
forensics and incident response capabilities – Cleanses the system of attacker
artifacts, ensuring Active Directory is restored to a trusted environment.
· Comprehensive post-breach
analysis – Offers comprehensive post-attack forensic support, including rapid
assessments within defined incident windows, and validation of Active Directory
integrity before restoring production systems.
“Active Directory compromises
are devastating because they give attackers so many paths to take advantage of
critical systems,” said Mickey Bresman, chief executive officer, Semperis. “By
partnering with Cohesity, we’re integrating our industry-leading Active
Directory technology with the broadly adopted Cohesity Data Cloud, ensuring the
world’s largest global organisations have a trusted, streamlined path to
protect against and recover from even the most sophisticated identity-based
attacks.”
Cohesity Identity Resilience
builds on the partnership
between Cohesity and Semperis that began in 2024.
"Active Directory
compromises often turn into prolonged business disruptions that are costly and
difficult to contain,” said Scott Harrison, director, Hybrid Infrastructure
Solutions, CDW. “With Cohesity Identity Resilience, powered by Semperis, we see
a solution that directly addresses this gap—helping enterprises strengthen
defences, recover quickly, and maintain confidence in their core identity
systems. It’s the kind of capability our customers have been asking for, and it
represents an important step forward in building true cyber resilience.”
