Cohesity's Nagaraj on Transforming Backups for Data Protection and AI Innovation
Enterprises can no longer view backup as passive insurance. Rising ransomware threats and fragmented data landscapes demand a proactive approach that strengthens cyber resilience while enabling artificial intelligence-driven insights, said Bharath Nagaraj, senior principal field technical director at Cohesity. Cohesity is meeting this challenge with a singular file system that consolidates unstructured data, applies consistent security policies and simplifies governance.

Fragmented data environments, split across on-premises systems and multiple clouds, have complicated compliance and recovery. A unified, addressable framework helps enterprises restore files quickly, maintain visibility across the data life cycle and strengthen defenses against attacks.
"Fix your data, then your ROI from any AI application will be higher," Nagaraj said.
In this video interview with Information Security Media Group at the Cybersecurity Implications of AI virtual summit, Nagaraj also discussed:
Nagaraj specializes in transforming legacy systems into hybrid cloud architectures and reinforcing cyber resilience in enterprise environments. He has helped organizations improve their security posture, adopt cyber resilience principles and safeguard data against ransomware and other threats. Prior to Cohesity, he was director of technical field enablement at Atlantis Computing.
