description: Cohesity is a data security and management company providing backup, disaster recovery, archive, and cyber resilience
  capabilities across on-premises, cloud, and SaaS workloads. Following the merger with Veritas, the combined company protects
  enterprise data while powering automation, orchestration, and AI- driven recovery. The Cohesity developer surface centers
  on the Cohesity REST API, exposed both per-cluster (DataProtect/cluster API) and via the Helios global control plane, with
  versioned v1 and v2 endpoints, API-key authentication, and SDKs for Python, PowerShell, Ansible, Terraform, and ServiceNow.

  description: Helios is Cohesity's SaaS-based control plane that manages a fleet of Cohesity clusters from a single global
    pane of glass. The Helios REST API authenticates via an apiKey generated from the Helios UI and passed in the request
    header, supports both v1 and v2 endpoint families, and lets customers list and operate registered clusters, run protection
    jobs, manage policies, and access reporting and analytics globally.
  x-features:
  - apiKey-based authentication via Helios UI
  - v1 and v2 API surfaces under /irisservices/api/
  - Manage protection groups, policies, and recovery operations
  - Reporting and global analytics across clusters
  - Multi-cluster operations from a single endpoint
  x-use-cases:
  - Centralize backup and recovery automation across many Cohesity clusters
  - Drive policy and SLA enforcement from CI/CD pipelines
  - Trigger or schedule recoveries from external orchestration tools
  - Export reporting data into SIEM or BI dashboards
