Joint solution provides customers with detailed alerts to stay ahead of threats: better detect ransomware and recover data through integration of Cohesity Helios and Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR.
Cohesity, a leading provider of data management solutions, is working with Palo Alto Networks to link its next-gen data management platform, Cohesity Helios, with Palo Alto Networks' Cortex™ XSOAR security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR) platform. The integration aims to improve ransomware detection and data recovery after a cyberattack.
Detect ransomware attacks
The key to defending against cyber attacks such as ransomware is how quickly IT teams can identify attacks and initiate countermeasures. The new integration raises an alarm as soon as the AI-based Helios platform detects anomalies in the backup data that indicate an attack. Cortex XSOAR then automatically initiates a series of actions from a playbook to contain the potential cyberattack and damage.
"Any delay in ransomware response and recovery can lead to increased downtime and increased data loss," said Brian Spanswick, CISO at Cohesity. “This integration can help link data management and data security processes more effectively. It's the key to staying ahead of persistent ransomware attacks and building an organization's cyber resiliency.”

Smart alerts improve decision-making and reduce stress
If security analysts are informed about potential threats in a timely and detailed manner, they can quickly determine how best to respond to the incident. That takes the pressure off these teams. According to a study by Forrester Consulting "The 2020 State of Security Operations", security analysts all too often have to extinguish a fire with a garden hose.
Only 47 percent of respondents said they were able to resolve most or all security alerts they receive within a single day. The other 53 percent admitted they struggle in several ways:
- 20 percent of the alerts are manually reviewed by an analyst.
- Almost a third of all alerts are false positives.
- 28 percent of alerts are never acted upon by analysts because they simply have too many alerts to investigate.
