H.I.G. Capital elevates security—and saves engineers’ time—with Cohesity FortKnox on AWS
H.I.G. Capital, a global alternative investment firm, upgraded its backup and recovery capabilities by adopting Cohesity FortKnox on AWS to address reliability and ransomware protection challenges with its legacy cloud backup solution. FortKnox provides immutable backups stored in an isolated, ransomware-protected virtual vault on AWS, creating a secure virtual air gap that prevents unauthorized access or tampering. This enables H.I.G. Capital to restore virtual machines quickly with just a few clicks, significantly improving recovery speed and reducing downtime. The SaaS-based FortKnox service simplifies operations, lowers costs, and enhances cyber resilience by combining secure cloud storage, strict access controls, and AI-driven anomaly detection.
