ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW) and Cohesity announced a strategic partnership on March 10, 2026 to deliver real‑time recovery for enterprise AI agents. The collaboration combines ServiceNow’s AI Control Tower with Cohesity’s data‑protection platform, enabling organizations to build, operate, and safeguard autonomous AI agents with enterprise‑grade reliability.
The partnership will allow customers to recover AI agents that execute critical business operations instantly, reducing downtime and improving the reliability of AI‑driven workflows across any cloud, model, or data source. By embedding Cohesity’s point‑in‑time recovery and immutable snapshot technology into ServiceNow’s control tower, the two companies aim to give enterprises a single, auditable view of agent activity and data integrity.
ServiceNow’s Q4 2025 results—revenue of $3.57 billion and EPS of $0.92—exceeded estimates, and the company guided subscription revenue for Q1 2026 to up 21.5% year‑over‑year. Cohesity, a leader in AI‑powered data security, has a market share of 2.4% in the backup and recovery space and recently raised $2.01 billion in a Series H round, valuing the company at $7.0 billion.
Bill McDermott, ServiceNow’s CEO, said, "Trust is the ultimate human currency — in the era of AI it is built through governance across agentic workflows. I'm excited to team up with Cohesity to raise the bar for responsible AI at scale." Sanjay Poonen, Cohesity’s CEO, added, "Organizations deploying AI agents can't afford to treat resilience as an afterthought. Cohesity brings the same immutable, point‑in‑time recovery that enterprises rely on for critical data, now applied to the AI agents driving their operations. Together with ServiceNow, we're making AI agents trustworthy by design."
The announcement was met with cautious market sentiment, as analysts focused on valuation concerns and broader apprehensions about AI’s impact on enterprise software. Despite the partnership’s promise, the broader market context tempered enthusiasm for the news.
The collaboration positions ServiceNow as the AI operating system for the agentic enterprise and expands Cohesity’s reach into the growing autonomous‑AI market. By providing a resilient, auditable framework for AI agents, the partnership is expected to accelerate customer adoption of ServiceNow’s AI‑powered workflow solutions and reinforce both companies’ competitive standing in the evolving AI ecosystem.
