Rubrik Security Cloud
Rubrik Security Cloud protects data across enterprise, cloud and SaaS environments while helping organizations monitor risk and recover data and applications. Its air-gapped, immutable backups are designed to guard against deletion, modification or encryption by attackers. Threat monitoring looks for ransomware and other risks, including anomalies, data destruction and indicators of compromise. Sensitive Data Monitoring discovers and classifies sensitive information and can alert on potential policy violations. Recovery capabilities include threat containment and simulations for validating recovery workflows. Supported workloads include AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft 365, Jira, Salesforce, databases, Kubernetes, NAS and virtual machines. The GraphQL API exposes workloads, policies, events and recovery. The product supports MFA and SAML or OIDC identity-provider federation. Rubrik says cloud data is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.2 or higher and at rest with AES-256. It can be configured in SaaS or software mode; the latter provides standalone on-premises access to Rubrik CDM. Pricing is available on request.
