What happened: Cohesity announced Agent Resilience, a product initiative aimed at protecting and recovering infrastructure used by AI agents. This is a vendor announcement; organizations should evaluate the claimed capabilities against their own architecture and recovery objectives.
Why it matters: AI agents can introduce new operational dependencies: tool integrations, identities, data stores, prompts, orchestration services, and model access. Recoverability needs to cover those dependencies, not only the underlying servers.
What defenders should do:
- Document the assets, service accounts, tools, data stores, and permissions used by each production agent.
- Test recovery of agent configurations and access controls alongside data recovery.
- Apply change control and audit logging to agent tool connections and high-impact actions.
