Cohesity has gone agentic, announcing Cohesity Maestro, and making the full Cohesity Data Cloud — cyber resilience operations, real-time telemetry, autonomous agents, and Cohesity Gaia, its AI-powered enterprise search and knowledge engine — agentically accessible through Model Context Protocol (MCP).
This is a so-called headless architecture, in which key Cohesity actions, telemetry signals, and data assets can be driven through agents, with no Cohesity interface required. Just as companies like Salesforce pioneered headless enterprise software, making their entire CRM platform commandable by external AI agents through open standards, Cohesity brings that same architectural shift to data security.
Sanjay Poonen, Cohesity’s CEO, said: "Our customers have already chosen. Claude, Gemini, and GPT already run operations on these platforms, which grow in capability every day. Cohesity Maestro gives those platforms direct access to our data protection capabilities. No new console. No workflow changes. Just the power of Cohesity, wherever their AI already lives. This is what headless data protection looks like, and Cohesity is the first in our industry to deliver it."
Cohesity Maestro integrates natively with the AI platforms enterprises have already standardized on, including Anthropic Claude, OpenAI ChatGPT, and Google Gemini, without custom integrations or proprietary connectors. It’s open by design, giving enterprises broad choice over their AI stack and the flexibility to use the agentic tools best suited to their needs.
IT and security operations teams can now ask what changed across their environment in the last 24 hours and surface a prioritized view of business-critical risks and recovery gaps. From there, they can trigger restores, hunt threats, and orchestrate recovery directly from the AI tools they already use, without switching to a separate console.
Customers will have native access to Cohesity platform capabilities with Cohesity Maestro, including:
Cyber resilience orchestration — data protection actions, including protection, restores, status, reporting, query status, recovery groups, blueprints, threat hunting, and more
Telemetry and threat signals — real-time security telemetry and operational signals, surfaced into any AI workflow, enabling a custom intelligence layer integrated with existing operations
Cohesity Gaia — semantically enriched search over all protected data, powered by Nvidia enterprise AI and a deep metadata catalog, delivering enterprise data insights for developing better agents (available to Cohesity Gaia customers)
Cohesity AI agents — including Cohesity Copilot for conversational reporting, anomaly detection, and operational actions, and Cohesity RecoveryAgent for recovery group and blueprint orchestration, with more agents to follow
Cohesity’s platform already has the ability to act as an Agent to drive autonomous actions and orchestration, all within the user experience of the platform. For example, Cohesity Copilot, launched in 2024, introduced natural-language administration for data protection. Cohesity RecoveryAgent, launched in 2025, delivered intelligent cyber recovery instead of using manual runbooks.
For enterprises creating their own AI-driven workflows and assembling models, tools, and dashboards tailored to how their teams work, Cohesity Maestro fits inside whatever that looks like, while being governed by the same role-based access controls, authentication, and audit framework that apply to direct platform access. Cohesity Copilot and RecoveryAgent are available now, along with Cohesity Gaia support for MCP. The Cohesity Maestro MCP interface and additional agents are expected to be available later this year.
