Cohesity, ServiceNow partner on AI resilience
This announcement comes after Cohesity and ServiceNow announced a strategic partnership for delivering real-time recovery and resilience for enterprise AI agents.
This partnership will enable organizations to build, operate, and safeguard autonomous AI agents and data with enterprise-grade reliability.
“Organizations deploying AI agents can’t afford to treat resilience as an afterthought,” said Sanjay Poonen, CEO and president of Cohesity. “Cohesity brings the same immutable, point-in-time recovery that enterprises rely on for critical data, now applied to the AI agents driving their operations. Together with ServiceNow, we’re making AI agents trustworthy by design.”
Further, the two companies will deliver end-to-end AI agent resilience across the enterprise lifecycle.
Organizations will be able to build and register AI agents natively within the ServiceNow AI Platform. Cohesity Data Cloud, meanwhile, safeguards the data systems to enable rapid restoration to a point-in-time verified data state without manual reconstruction.
“Trust is the ultimate human currency – in the era of AI it is built through governance across agentic workflows. I’m excited to team up with Cohesity to raise the bar for responsible AI at scale,” said Bill McDermott, ServiceNow chairman and CEO.
“The smarter AI agents become, the more they require a control tower to orchestrate their work systems with audit-grade proof at every step. Cohesity adds a critical recovery and resilience layer that, combined with the ServiceNow AI Platform, makes agentic AI trustworthy by design.”
