Zero Trust Data Security for the Modern Threat Landscape

Deploy the Rubrik r7000 appliance on-premises — hardware and software arrive pre-integrated. For cloud-first deployments, activate Rubrik Security Cloud SaaS directly from the console with no infrastructure to provision.

The SLA Policy Engine is configured during setup — you define protection tiers (Gold, Silver, Bronze) by recovery objectives, not individual schedules. Workloads are then assigned to tiers, not manually configured. This reduces weeks of backup admin to hours.

Rubrik auto-discovers VMware vCenter hosts, Hyper-V clusters, AWS accounts, Azure subscriptions, and SaaS tenants. Workloads are inventoried and unprotected assets are flagged — giving immediate visibility into coverage gaps.

Discovery covers VMs, databases (Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQL Server), NAS shares, Kubernetes clusters, Microsoft 365 (Exchange, SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, Entra ID), Salesforce, and cloud-native workloads. Each is assigned to an SLA tier for automated policy enforcement.

Rubrik writes backup data to an immutable distributed file system — once written, data cannot be modified, deleted, or encrypted by any actor including compromised admins. Every snapshot is air-gapped and encrypted with AES-256.

Logical air gap, retention lock, and quorum authorisation are enforced automatically. Backups are deduplicated and compressed inline. SLA policies drive schedule, retention, and archival tiering — no manual job configuration required.

Machine learning continuously analyses backup metadata — data entropy, file modification rates, backup size deviations, and access patterns. Anomalies that indicate an active ransomware encryption or mass-deletion attack trigger immediate alerts.

Threat monitoring runs 24/7 in the background with zero performance impact on backup operations. The Data Security Command Center provides CISOs and CIOs with a real-time view of backup coverage, active threats, sensitive data exposure, and organisational resilience posture.

When an incident occurs, Turbo Threat Hunting scans the entire backup history — millions of files across thousands of snapshots — in minutes using parallel index-driven search to identify which snapshots are clean and uninfected.

Infected snapshots are automatically isolated to prevent accidental restoration of compromised data. IoC indicators are matched against backup contents. Attack Impact Analysis shows the blast radius — which files, VMs, and applications were affected and when the attack started.

Orchestrated Application Recovery restores workloads in the correct dependency order using pre-tested runbooks. Individual files, emails, SQL rows, or whole VMs can be recovered with granular precision from the identified clean recovery point.

Mass Recovery mode accelerates large-scale restores when many workloads are affected. Forensics investigation generates post-incident evidence for cyber insurers and regulators. Cloud Vault enables direct recovery to Azure or AWS with no on-premises dependency during a site-wide incident.
