Rubrik Expands Cyber Resilience Capabilities Across Cloud, SaaS, and On-Premises Environments

As cyber threats continue to evolve, Rubrik has unveiled a series of enhancements aimed at fortifying data security across cloud, SaaS, and on-premises environments. The latest innovations focus on accelerating threat detection, automating recovery processes, and expanding protection for enterprise workloads, including Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, PostgreSQL, and Red Hat OpenShift.

With cloud adoption accelerating, Rubrik’s expanded capabilities come at a time when organizations are looking for stronger cyber resilience strategies. The company’s new Identity Recovery solution addresses vulnerabilities in hybrid identity environments, particularly targeting attacks on Active Directory and Entra ID, which have been exploited in nearly half of all cyberattacks over the past two years. Rubrik says this solution automates and streamlines identity restoration, reducing downtime and mitigating risks associated with credential compromise.

"Cyber criminals won’t stop innovating, and neither will we," said Arvind Nithrakashyap, Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder of Rubrik. "We are integrating new technologies across major cloud platforms, SaaS applications, and on-premises environments to help customers detect compromised data faster, identify affected systems more efficiently, and accelerate the recovery process."

Expanding Coverage Across Critical Workloads

Rubrik is broadening its reach across multiple platforms to ensure organizations have comprehensive data protection. The new cloud security enhancements include support for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), starting with Oracle Cloud VMware workloads and self-managed Oracle DB instances. PostgreSQL, one of the world’s most widely used open-source databases, is also receiving extended protection, which Rubrik says is a response to its research showing 96% of cyberattacks target backup data.

With Kubernetes adoption growing rapidly, Rubrik is introducing backup and recovery for Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization. The company says the feature will provide enterprises with automated and immutable backups to ensure fast recovery from cyber incidents.

For businesses running Microsoft workloads, Rubrik is introducing enhanced data protection for Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, and Azure DevOps. The new capabilities include anomaly detection, threat monitoring, and prioritized recovery, allowing organizations to restore critical data first to minimize downtime. Additionally, Rubrik’s Cloud Vault for AWS offers an off-site, immutable backup solution with advanced encryption and retention locks, designed to protect against ransomware attacks.

Turbo Threat Hunting and Faster Cyber Recovery

One of the most significant upgrades in Rubrik’s latest rollout is Turbo Threat Hunting, a feature designed to dramatically accelerate the detection of malware within large datasets. Unlike traditional forensic methods that scan individual files, Turbo Threat Hunting leverages pre-computed hashes stored within Rubrik’s metadata, allowing organizations to scan 75,000 backups in under 60 seconds. The company says this significantly reduces the time required to pinpoint clean recovery points following a cyberattack.

Rubrik is also extending its Orchestrated Recovery capabilities to Azure Virtual Machines, automating recovery sequences and enabling regular test recoveries to minimize human errors. The company says this will simplify cyber incident response, allowing enterprises to restore operations with greater confidence.

As enterprises face increasingly complex cyber threats, Rubrik’s latest security enhancements position the company as a key player in the evolving data protection landscape. With businesses prioritizing cyber resilience, Rubrik’s focus on faster recovery, intelligent threat detection, and hybrid cloud security reflects a broader industry shift toward proactive cybersecurity strategies.
