Data powering business operations is more valuable than ever. It is also more vulnerable than ever to cybersecurity threats, power outages and natural disasters. This reality has forced organizations to rethink their approaches to the 3-2-1 strategy of backing up data—three copies of data, on two different media, with one of them in an off-site environment. Although a traditional air gap model where data is stored on magnetic tapes and moved off-site for data isolation ensures data security in the face of increasing ransomware attacks, it impedes rapid recovery which prevents teams from achieving stringent service-level agreements (SLAs). To stay competitive while protecting data, enterprises are embracing a modern 3-2-1 strategy that includes a virtual air gap with physical separation and network isolation and provides both secure and highly available data.

Cohesity FortKnox powers this modern 3-2-1 strategy for the cloud era, balancing your organization’s security and agility priorities. FortKnox provides an additional layer of security against ransomware and other cybersecurity threats through physical separation, and network and operational isolation. FortKnox dramatically simplifies operations and lowers costs, eliminating the complexity and resource requirements of internally managed isolation solutions. FortKnox is a cloud service that empowers organizations to prepare for and recover quickly and confidently from attacks with granular recovery back to the source or an alternate location, including Azure.

Additional protection layer safeguards data and reputations - FortKnox is an integral part of the multilayered Cohesity Threat Defense architecture built on the notion of least privilege and segregation of duties with granular Zero Trust security principles. These include role-based access (RBAC), encryption, multi-factor authentication (MFA), a WORM lock policy and a quorum rule that requires at least two employees to approve any critical actions.

As-a-service consumption simplifies operations and lowers costs - In a pay-as-you-grow service that keeps costs down, FortKnox empowers organizations to simply connect, vault, and recover data. No need to worry about deploying and maintaining “DIY” data vaults or the associated cloud storage or egress costs, as they are covered in the FortKnox subscription.

Rapid recovery saves time and improves business continuity - FortKnox delivers fast, granular recovery of data back onsite or directly to the cloud, enabling enterprises to be more agile. Unlike legacy backup and air gap solutions, FortKnox simplifies the recovery of specific files and objects quickly—without having to restore whole data volumes.
