As cyberattacks become more sophisticated and regulatory scrutiny intensifies, organizations are increasingly shifting their focus from data backup to comprehensive cyber recovery and resilience. Reflecting this trend, Cohesity has announced the integration of its Clean Room solution and AI-powered data security capabilities into HCLTech’s VaultNXT platform, providing enterprises with a managed and secure environment for cyber recovery, investigation, and compliance management.
The new managed clean room capability addresses a growing challenge facing businesses worldwide: ensuring that recovery after a cyberattack is secure, validated, and compliant with evolving regulations. While traditional backup solutions help restore data, organizations now require controlled environments where they can investigate incidents, verify recovery data, and resume operations with confidence.
HCLTech VaultNXT combines policy-driven cyber vaulting, immutable recovery copies, governed access controls, and audit-ready processes designed to support regulatory frameworks such as DORA and NIS2. By integrating Cohesity’s Clean Room technology, the platform enables organizations to conduct forensic investigations, contain threats, validate data integrity, and recover critical systems within an isolated and secure environment.
According to Kit Beall, Chief Revenue Officer at Cohesity, cyber recovery strategies must extend beyond simple restoration to include trusted investigation and validation processes. The integration is designed to help customers recover faster, improve compliance, and reduce operational risks following cyber incidents.
From an industry perspective, the announcement highlights the growing convergence of cybersecurity, compliance, and business continuity. Enterprises are increasingly seeking repeatable recovery frameworks that can withstand ransomware attacks while meeting stringent governance requirements. Automated workflows and AI-powered security capabilities also help reduce downtime and accelerate operational recovery.
Johnny Karam, Vice President and Managing Director, International Emerging Region at Cohesity, noted that organizations today require greater assurance around data validation and business continuity, not just system restoration. The combined solution aims to provide a structured and repeatable approach to cyber resilience.
As cyber threats continue to evolve, the Cohesity-HCLTech partnership underscores the growing importance of secure recovery environments and AI-driven resilience strategies in helping enterprises maintain operations, reduce risk, and strengthen regulatory compliance.
