<\/div>\n

Cisco has added ransomware detection and recovery support to its recently unveiled Extended Detection and Response (XDR) system.<\/p>\n

The new features target recovery from ransomware attacks and come courtesy of integration with Cohesity\u2019s DataProtect and DataHawk offerings which offer configurable ransomware recovery and rescue support for systems assigned to a protection plan. Cohesity\u2019s platform can preserve potentially infected virtual machines for forensic investigation and protect enterprise workloads from future attacks.<\/p>\n

Cisco said that the exponential growth of ransomware and cyber extortion has made a platform approach crucial to effectively counter adversaries.  It also noted that during the second quarter of 2023, the Cisco Talos Incident Response team responded to the highest number of ransomware engagements in more than a year.<\/p>\n

The idea of integrating Cohesity ransomware features with its now available XDR platform, is to help Security Operations Center (SOC) teams automatically detect, snapshot, and restore business-critical data at the very first signs of a ransomware outbreak; often before it has had a chance to move laterally through the network to reach the high\u2013value assets, wrote AJ Shipley, vice president of Customer Experience Product Management with Cisco in a blog<\/a> about the Cohesity integration.<\/p>\n

Cohesity is very familiar with Cisco recently stating the vendor\u2019s share over 460 joint customers. The companies recently announced that Cohesity\u2019s Cohesity Cloud Services package will be sold by Cisco channel partners later this year.<\/p>\n

Cohesity Cloud Services include data security and management as well as threat defense, data isolation and backup\/recovery.  The package can be hosted on services such as Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS).<\/p>\n
