Semperis Named Global Security Accelerator Partner of the Year in the Cohesity FY2026 Partner Awards

HOBOKEN, N.J., Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Semperis, the identity-driven cyber resilience and crisis response company, today announced that it has been named Global Security Accelerator Partner of the Year in the Cohesity FY2026 Partner Awards. The annual awards recognize partners across Cohesity's global ecosystem that help organizations strengthen cyber resilience, accelerate recovery, and maximize the value of their data through the Cohesity Data Cloud platform.

"Semperis is thrilled to be named Cohesity's Global Security Accelerator Partner of the Year. This recognition reflects the strength of our partnership and our shared commitment to helping organizations protect and recover the identity systems their businesses depend on," said Eric Purcell, Semperis SVP, Global Partner Sales and Alliances. "By bringing together Cohesity's data security capabilities and Semperis' identity expertise, we're extending cyber resilience beyond backup and helping our joint global customers prepare for attacks, recover cleanly and restore operations faster."

This is the second consecutive year Semperis has been recognized by Cohesity as a Partner of the Year. The company was named Security Partner of the Year in the Cohesity FY2025 Partner Awards. The launch in 2025 of Cohesity Identity Resilience, a Cohesity-built solution powered by Semperis, marked an important step in strengthening the relationship between the two companies. The solution helps enterprises defend critical Active Directory assets from cyberattacks, harden defenses proactively, recover rapidly, and conduct post-attack forensic investigations to maintain operational resilience when foundational identity systems are targeted.

"This year's winners were among the first to recognize that cyber resilience would become a strategic priority for customers, and they invested early to meet that need," said Kit Beall, Cohesity Chief Revenue Officer. "Those investments helped them grow alongside Cohesity. The Cohesity Aspire partner program further accelerated that growth, deepening their expertise across AI and data security. Congratulations to Semperis for their continued leadership and positive impact on making our customers more resilient."

The Cohesity FY2026 Partner Awards reflect the expanding role partners play as organizations move beyond traditional data protection to address broader cyber resilience, security, and AI priorities. Recipients were recognized for the technical excellence, innovation, and execution they brought to this evolving role, including achievements in revenue growth, Cohesity platform adoption, and delivery of Cohesity cyber resilience, data security, and data insights solutions.
