Cohesity & 11:11 launch cloud clean room for cyber recovery
Cohesity and 11:11 Systems have announced the general availability of a cloud-based clean room recovery service designed to support organisations in responding to and recovering from cyber incidents.
Rising cyber-attacks
The increasing frequency and sophistication of cyber-attacks globally have led organisations to seek more robust solutions for cyber resilience. The service, named 11:11 DRaaS for Cohesity with Clean Room Recovery, provides organisations with a secure, isolated cloud-based environment. This enables businesses to investigate incidents, identify safe data copies, and restore operations after a cyber breach.
This development is particularly timely as businesses in Australia and New Zealand continue to face what industry commentators have described as an unprecedented number of cyber-attacks impacting day-to-day operations and service continuity. "With Australian and New Zealand business' facing an unprecedented number of cyber-attacks, it's essential that IT leaders have a range of tools at their disposal to not only prevent breaches but, be able to thoroughly investigate how attackers breached the security parameter, in the case of a successful attack. A managed recovery solution allows businesses to overcome common barriers such as cost or lack of in-house expertise, and helps our customers identify gaps in their cyber resilience strategies, preventing future breaches."
Marc Beder, General Manager, APAC, 11:11 Systems, outlined the need for comprehensive tools and managed solutions that facilitate not only prevention but also robust response and analysis in the aftermath of security incidents.
Clean room service details
The 11:11 DRaaS for Cohesity with Clean Room Recovery combines Cohesity's core clean room technology with 11:11 Systems' incident recovery and managed service expertise. The solution enables organisations to quickly create an air-gapped, isolated environment for forensic investigation by security teams, aiming to reduce recovery time and limit business disruption.
Unlike traditional clean room facilities—which often require significant capital and operational investment—this service is delivered in a secure, cloud-based, per-terabyte subscription, with no upfront capital or operational costs for users. It is underpinned by a 100 percent uptime service-level agreement (SLA) from 11:11 Systems.
The service provides a clean room environment where uncompromised data replicas can be identified and operations restored rapidly. Enterprises benefit from access to the relevant expertise and tools at each point in the incident response process, supporting a more agile and cost-effective recovery.
The offering aims to cover the full spectrum of incident response activities, including preparation, initiation of recovery, damage mitigation, and the restoration of services, effectively extending beyond conventional backup and disaster recovery approaches.
Industry commentary "As the threat landscape continues to evolve, organisations need advanced tools and trusted partners to safeguard their operations," said Vasu Murthy, Chief Product Officer, Cohesity. "At Cohesity, we're committed to meeting those needs both through continuing to offer new innovations in our data security platform and by creating new solutions with industry-leading partners. This solution reflects the next evolution of our partnership with 11:11 Systems. It extends our cyber resilience capabilities with a powerful, easy-to-deploy clean room that helps our customers practice and recover from cyber-attacks faster."
Justin Giardina, Chief Technology Officer, 11:11 Systems, said the partnership with Cohesity allows for the delivery of a managed, enterprise-focused recovery service without the logistical hurdles and costs of building and maintaining such capabilities in-house for every organisation. "Combining our managed recovery expertise and purpose-built infrastructure with Cohesity's modern data security platform allows us to deliver a sophisticated yet accessible service for enterprise cyber incident recovery. Now we can enable true operational resilience for the modern enterprise without forcing customers to build it all in-house."
Roy Illsley, Chief Analyst at the research firm Omdia, commented on the significance of a combined clean room platform: "With so much on the line, having a clean room platform with a complete set of tools to identify, isolate, and repair the damage from a cyber-attack is critically important. The clean room capabilities and proven expertise offered by Cohesity and 11:11 Systems show the value of two separate vendors working together to introduce a new approach to cyber recovery going forward."
Service lifecycle and support
The platform supports full lifecycle cyber incident response, including detection, isolation, mitigation, and restoration of services. Incident response professionals are available at all times to assist organisations in addressing threats and resuming operations. This structure seeks to enhance both compliance and business continuity requirements.
11:11 Systems provides 24/7 support, drawing on extensive experience in disaster recovery and cyber incident recovery services, with the intention of helping customers overcome a lack of internal expertise and respond to the evolving nature of cyber threats confidently.
The clean room recovery solution is part of a wider partnership between Cohesity and 11:11 Systems, which has also produced 11:11 Cyber Vault and 11:11 Disaster Recovery services.
