Data protection vendor Rubrik unveils new resilience solutions

Rubrik has announced enhannced protections for cloud, software as a service (SaaS), and on-premises environments.

The solutions from Rubrik aim to help customers to anticipate breaches, detect potential threats, and to recover regardless of where their data lives.

The expanded capabilities include Cloud Posture Risk Management, which automatically discovers and inventories cloud data assets while identifying unprotected or sensitive data.

Rubrik is also extending protection to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, beginning with Oracle Cloud VMWare workloads and self-managed Oracle DB workloads operating on OCI VMs.

Data protection is being expanded to PostgreSQL databases, addressing concerns highlighted in a recent Rubrik Zero Labs report that found attackers are targeting backups in 96 per cent of cyberattacks.

For organisations using Kubernetes orchestration, Rubrik has introduced Red Hat OpenShift Virtualisation Data Protection, providing comprehensive, automated, and immutable backups that deliver fast recovery from cyber incidents.

The company has strengthened its Microsoft offerings with enhanced protection for Microsoft Dynamics 365.

Rubrik also introduced Identity Recovery, which delivers an automated solution for protecting hybrid identity environments across Microsoft Entra ID and Active Directory.

Another innovation is Turbo Threat Hunting, which scans at scale by leveraging pre-computed hashes stored within Rubrik's metadata.

Internal testing by Rubrik found the technology can scan 75,000 backups in less than 60 seconds.

"Cyber criminals won't stop innovating, and neither will we," Arvind Nithrakashyap, chief technology officer and co-founder of Rubrik, said.

"Our utmost priority is the security, safety, and appropriate accessibility of our customer's data, regardless of where the data lives.

"We are seamlessly integrating new technologies across the world's major cloud platforms, SaaS offerings, and on-premises so our customers can better detect compromised data, enhance the speed of identifying affected data, and accelerate the discovery of clean entry points."
