New strategy strengthens AI infrastructure protection, mitigates agent-driven risk, and activates trusted enterprise data for secure AI adoption

SINGAPORE, March 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cohesity, the leader in AI data security, today unveiled its Enterprise AI Resilience strategy. This unified approach enables organizations to confidently adopt and scale AI by strengthening cyber resilience across the AI ecosystem.

AI adoption is accelerating, but for many enterprises, the pace of innovation is outstripping risk tolerance. As AI systems become embedded in core operations, organizations must manage new infrastructure and automation risks without slowing business transformation.

Cohesity’s Enterprise AI Resilience strategy enables enterprises to play strong defense, protecting AI systems and mitigating agent-driven disruption, so they can confidently go on the offense and harness AI to drive growth.

“By strengthening defense and enabling secure data activation, Cohesity is establishing enterprise AI resilience as the foundation for responsible, high-velocity AI adoption,” said Sanjay Poonen, CEO and President, Cohesity. “Enterprises need the confidence to manage AI-driven risk and recover quickly when disruptions occur. Cohesity provides the resilience foundation that protects AI infrastructure, governs data access, mitigates agent-driven risk, and unlocks the transformative power of trusted enterprise data.”

Defense: Protecting AI Infrastructure, Governing Data, and Mitigating Agent Risk

As AI systems move from experimentation into production, enterprises must extend cyber resilience across the full AI stack. AI agents increasingly interact directly with enterprise systems and data, expanding operational dependencies and introducing new risk surfaces.

Cohesity addresses three critical dimensions of defense:

Protecting AI and Agent Infrastructure

Enterprises must safeguard the infrastructure that builds and runs AI systems, including:

• AI agents and agent memory
• Vector databases
• Model configurations and policies
• Training and fine-tuning datasets
• Enterprise data stores

These components introduce a new stateful, machine-speed operational tier that requires coordinated, signal-driven recovery.

Cohesity preserves immutable snapshots of AI environments and enables synchronized, point-in-time recovery of agents, data, and supporting infrastructure, including files, databases, object storage, SaaS applications, vector stores, and agent memory, reducing downtime without full system rebuilds.

Protecting Against Rogue, Unintended, or Malicious Agent Actions

AI systems operate at machine speed. Logic errors, corrupted inputs, prompt injection, or malicious manipulation can trigger cascading automation mistakes in seconds.

Detection alone is insufficient. Organizations must contain and rapidly recover from unintended or malicious agent-driven activity.

Because AI agents operate across a broad enterprise ecosystem—spanning IT service management, observability, data platforms, and automation systems—effective remediation requires coordinated action across those environments. Through deep integrations with leading control and observability platforms, including ServiceNow and Datadog, Cohesity translates agent risk signals into automated, API-driven recovery workflows.

Anomalous behavior or policy violations can automatically trigger API-driven, point-in-time restoration—reducing mean time to containment in AI-driven incidents.

Governing Sensitive Data for AI

Continuous visibility and governance are essential as AI systems access sensitive enterprise data across cloud, SaaS, and hybrid environments.

Cohesity Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), powered by Cyera, discovers and classifies sensitive data, monitors access patterns, and supports governance controls across AI-accessible environments. Combined with Cohesity’s recovery capabilities, organizations can detect exposure or misuse and restore affected data and AI systems to trusted states.

Offense: Activating Trusted Enterprise Data for AI

Strong defense drives confident innovation.

Enterprises store vast amounts of unstructured and time-series data—often representing decades of institutional knowledge — within the Cohesity Data Cloud. Once protected and governed, this data can securely power AI initiatives.

Cohesity has announced federated semantic search via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling AI-powered enterprise tools, including Glean, to securely access governed backup data without duplicating it or compromising compliance.

“AI agents are only as useful as the information they can securely access,” said Zubin Irani, VP of Partnerships at Glean. “Enterprises have decades of critical knowledge stored across systems, but much of it remains locked away. By enabling federated access to governed data in the Cohesity Data Cloud, we’re helping organizations bring that trusted context into Glean so AI can deliver more accurate answers and actions while maintaining strong security and compliance controls.” 

In addition, the upcoming Cohesity Gaia Catalog extends the Cohesity Gaia AI platform, so teams can securely access protected data directly from leading analytics platforms such as Databricks and Microsoft Fabric, without duplicating data or rebuilding ETL (extract, transform, load) pipelines.

By activating protected data directly from the Cohesity Data Cloud, organizations can improve data freshness, governance, and compliance, while empowering AI systems with trusted enterprise context.

A Unified Platform for Enterprise AI Resilience

All capabilities are delivered through the Cohesity Data Cloud, enabling organizations to:

• Protect data across on-premises, cloud, and SaaS environments
• Safeguard AI and agent infrastructure
• Govern sensitive data exposure across AI environments
• Rapidly recover AI environments and data to trusted states
• Activate governed enterprise data securely for AI and analytics

Quantifying LLM Reliability Across Risk Scenarios for Trustworthy Enterprise AI

SINGAPORE, March 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Appier today announced new research advancing the reliability of Agentic AI systems. To expand the impact of its research and development efforts, Appier’s AI research team continues to focus on frontier topics in Agentic AI and Large Language Models (LLMs), exploring forward-looking technical challenges that push the boundaries of marketing technology innovation.

In its latest paper, “Answer, Refuse, or Guess? Investigating Risk-Aware Decision Making in Language Models,” the team introduces a systematic evaluation framework to measure how language models make decisions under different risk conditions. The approach significantly improves model reliability in high-risk scenarios through a novel methodological design.

The research addresses a key challenge in deploying Agentic AI in enterprise environments: ensuring that autonomous AI decisions are trustworthy. The findings further strengthen Appier’s technological leadership in AI while contributing practical insights for the broader Agentic AI ecosystem.

As enterprises move from AI copilots toward autonomous AI agents, reliability has become a critical barrier to adoption. According to a 2025 McKinsey survey, 62% of organizations have already begun experimenting with AI agents, yet inaccuracy remains the most commonly cited risk in enterprise AI adoption.

As an AI-native Agentic AI-as-a-Service (AaaS) company, Appier continues to translate cutting-edge research into enterprise-ready methodologies and product capabilities. This study specifically addresses two major enterprise concerns: AI hallucinations and decision reliability. To tackle this challenge, the research introduces a Risk-Aware Decision-Making framework that converts LLM decisions across varying risk conditions into quantifiable metrics, providing a stronger governance foundation for enterprise AI deployment.

Turning Risk-Aware Strategies into Quantifiable Metrics
Traditional LLM evaluations focus primarily on whether an answer is correct. In enterprise environments, however, the cost of being wrong and the value of refusing to answer differ significantly. The study introduces structured risk parameters—including rewards for correct answers, penalties for incorrect responses, and costs for refusal—to simulate different risk scenarios. Under this framework, models must evaluate their capability, confidence level, and risk conditions before deciding whether to answer, refuse, or guess. Decision quality is then measured by whether the model maximizes expected reward, providing a more realistic assessment of strategic decision-making.

Key Finding: Strategic Imbalance in Existing Models
Using the Risk-Aware Decision-Making framework, the research finds that many leading LLMs display strategic imbalance across risk scenarios. In high-risk settings, models often over-guess despite potential negative consequences. In low-risk scenarios, they may become overly conservative and refuse to answer too frequently. This inconsistency limits both the autonomy and safety of AI systems in enterprise environments. The study suggests the issue is not purely knowledge-related but stems from the model’s difficulty in integrating multiple capabilities into a stable decision strategy.

Skill Decomposition Enables More Optimal Decisions
To address this challenge, the research proposes a Skill Decomposition approach, breaking decision-making into three steps:

1. Task Execution — solving the task to generate an initial answer
2. Confidence Estimation — evaluating confidence in that answer
3. Expected-Value Reasoning — reasoning about outcomes under risk conditions

This structured reasoning process enables models to determine whether answering or refusing yields the best outcome. The approach allows models to better integrate multiple capabilities and produce more rational and stable decisions in high-risk environments, offering a practical path toward more reliable enterprise AI systems.

“For Agentic AI to operate in critical enterprise workflows, the key is not only making AI smarter, but making its autonomous decisions more reliable,” said Chih-Han Yu, CEO and Co-founder of Appier. “Appier has built its products around AI and continuously invested in world-class research. By turning LLM risk awareness into a quantifiable methodology, this research strengthens the foundation for trustworthy enterprise AI and helps accelerate the real-world adoption of Agentic AI and translate it into scalable business value and ROI.”

The research findings have been further integrated into Appier’s Agentic AI-powered platforms, including Ad Cloud, Personalization Cloud, and Data Cloud, helping enterprises advance autonomous workflows in a more reliable and trustworthy way.

Looking ahead, Appier will continue leveraging its strong AI research capabilities, proprietary data assets, and deep industry expertise to advance Agentic AI innovation and support enterprises in building more efficient and trustworthy AI-driven operations.
