Cohesity, the leader in AI-powered data security, has received the 2026 Google Cloud Partner of the Year Award for Infrastructure Modernization: Disaster Recovery/Backup.

Cohesity is being recognized for its work with Google Cloud in helping organizations strengthen cyber resilience across cloud, hybrid, and SaaS environments through stronger threat protection, cleaner recovery, and more secure use of enterprise data.

Kevin Ichhpurani, president, Global Partner Ecosystem and Channels, Google Cloud says, “The Google Cloud Partner Awards honor the strategic innovation and measurable value our partners bring to customers. We are proud to name Cohesity a 2026 Google Cloud Partner Award winner, celebrating their role in driving customer success over the last year.”

In recent months, Cohesity has deepened its partnership with Google Cloud, broadening collaboration across engineering, product integration, and go‑to‑market initiatives.

These efforts include Cohesity’s enhanced integrations embedding Google Threat Intelligence and secure sandbox analysis powered by Google Private Scanning directly into Cohesity Data Cloud. This allows customers to uncover hidden threats in backup data and recover with greater confidence.

Cohesity also expanded support for cloud and data sovereignty requirements, featuring new deployment options within the Google Cloud Data Boundary and availability of the Cohesity FortKnox cyber vaulting solution on Google Cloud. These capabilities enable organizations to maintain immutable, isolated copies of critical data within specific geographic regions while supporting clean recovery, even in highly regulated or high‑risk environments.
