Cohesity, a data security and management provider, has expanded its relationship with Microsoft to help businesses extend their footprint worldwide and harden data security, the company said.
To make its case, Cohesity pointed to Zippa’s data that cyberattacks occur every 39 seconds with 30,000 websites hacked daily costing the global economy $6.9 billion in 2021.
Commenting on the partnership with Microsoft, Sanjay Poonen, Cohesity chief executive and president, said.
“This expanded collaboration will make it simple for thousands of Microsoft customers and ecosystem partners to access Cohesity’s award-winning platform, including its differentiated benefits of scalability, simplicity and security, in hybrid-cloud or multicloud scenarios.”
