  "account": "Cohesity Inc., a data security company, unveiled Cohesity Agent Resilience at its Catalyst conference. This new capability for Cohesity Data Cloud safeguards the memory and configuration of enterprise artificial intelligence agents, enabling them to be restored to a trusted state if issues arise. The company also revealed plans to automate its five-step cyber resilience framework with agentic workflows, with a general availability expected by the end of the year.\n\nThe service focuses on protecting agents built on Amazon Web Services Inc.'s Bedrock, initially covering Bedrock AgentCore and Bedrock Agents. Support for Microsoft Corp. and Google LLC agent platforms is planned for the future. Cohesity emphasizes that governance and observability tools can identify abnormal behavior but lack the ability to restore data or systems altered, corrupted, or deleted by an AI agent.\n\nVasu Murthy, Cohesity's chief product officer, explained that while detection can indicate an AI agent has deviated from its course, it cannot undo the changes made. Most organizations currently lack protection for agent state, and a prompt injection could result in an agent acting on information it should not trust. If an agent has no clean recovery point, it might require complete rebuilding.\n\nUpon detecting suspicious behavior, an administrator can select a recovery point prior to the issue, restoring only the affected memory or settings. Additionally, the service protects databases, file systems, and vector stores utilized by the agent. Each agent receives a topology map detailing the systems it connects to and the data it can reach, aiming to expose potential protection gaps and recovery dependencies.\n\nCurrently, only a select number of customers have access to the service until its general availability. Cohesity plans to introduce Autonomous Cyber Resilience, a longer-term initiative that would maintain data discovery and protection without interruptions. This automated approach would require administrator approval for any changes, enabling automated workflows to assess impacted workloads and recommend suitable protection policies, threat scans, and recovery rehearsals.\n\nCohesity Data Cloud would evaluate applications necessary during a cyberattack and propose recovery time and recovery point objectives. The same automated workflows would prepare an isolated environment for investigation and recovery once an attack begins. This approach builds upon Cohesity RecoveryAgent, which currently manages parts of incident response and recovery.\n\nLastly, Cohesity introduced Cohesity Maestro, which will allow customers to access protection and recovery functions from Anthropic PBC's Claude, OpenAI Group PBC's ChatGPT, and Google's Gemini. The company expects to launch Cohesity Maestro later this year.",
