Cohesity has partnered with ZainTECH to deliver AI-powered managed cyber resilience services to enterprise customers across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan under the Cohesity Aspire Managed Service Provider (MSP) Program.
The partnership enables ZainTECH, the digital solutions arm of Zain Group, to expand its managed cyber resilience portfolio with a fully managed Backup as a Service (BaaS) offering powered by the Cohesity Data Cloud.
The platform provides immutable backup, ransomware protection, anomaly detection, cyber vaulting, air-gapped recovery through FortKnox, encryption, reporting, and recovery orchestration.
The service supports hybrid and multi-cloud environments, including on-premises infrastructure, public clouds, Microsoft 365, SaaS applications, databases, virtual machines, containers, and file workloads.
The managed service includes onboarding, backup policy design, continuous monitoring, reporting, incident response, and recovery support. Cohesity said the platform delivers immutable data protection, AI-powered threat detection, anomaly scanning, and secure multi-tenant data management. FortKnox enables on-premises, air-gapped cyber vaults, allowing organizations to retain data within their own environments and jurisdictions.
The company said growing demand for data sovereignty is prompting enterprises across the region to priorities local providers that comply with national regulatory requirements. ZainTECH’s regional infrastructure and sovereign-ready operating model, combined with Cohesity FortKnox, are designed to address those requirements.

“Across the Middle East, organizations are racing to modernize their digital infrastructure, but resilience has not kept pace. Our own research shows that 59 percent of UAE organizations experienced a material cyberattack in the past year, and with daily attacks on the country’s infrastructure continuing to rise, the question is no longer whether disruption will happen but how fast you can recover from it. This partnership with ZainTECH puts that capability directly in the hands of a trusted regional provider.”
Andrew Hanna, CEO, ZainTECH, stated that, “Our customers are asking harder questions about where their data lives and what happens to it when things go wrong. Through this partnership with Cohesity, we are strengthening our ability to deliver enterprise-grade cyber resilience services that combine immutable protection, sovereign-ready operations, and recoverability frameworks designed for regulated and always-on enterprise environments.”
As part of the agreement, ZainTECH has joined the Cohesity Aspire Partner Program, gaining access to training, certification, and joint go-to-market support to expand the offering across its customer base.
