Cohesity FortKnox vs STASH® 1-Click Ransomware Recovery: Side-by-Side Comparison (2026)

Cohesity FortKnox

Mid-market and enterprise teams facing ransomware threats need FortKnox because its air-gapped virtual vault makes encrypted backups genuinely unreachable during active attacks, not just theoretically so. The immutable snapshots with retention locks address NIST PR.DS and RC.RP functions that most backup tools treat as afterthoughts, while integrated threat scanning before restore prevents you from recovering compromised data. Skip this if your organization can tolerate a longer recovery window; the isolation model trades some restore speed for the certainty that your backup tier stays isolated even when production infrastructure is already encrypted.

STASH® 1-Click Ransomware Recovery

SMB and mid-market teams without dedicated recovery infrastructure will find real value in STASH® 1-Click Ransomware Recovery because the simplified restoration process cuts recovery time from hours to minutes when ransomware hits. The hybrid deployment model and focus on RC.RP incident recovery execution mean you're not building recovery plans from scratch; the tool executes them. Skip this if your organization already has mature, tested backup-and-restore workflows in place or if you need detection and prevention capabilities bundled in; STASH® is recovery-focused, not prevention-focused, and assumes your backup strategy exists upstream.
