Organizations of all sizes are grappling with the escalating threat of cyberattacks. According to the Rubrik Zero Labs 2024 The State of Data Security Report, 94% of IT and security leaders reported their organization experienced a significant cyberattack last year, with an average of 30 attacks per organization. Alarmingly, 66% of these attacks targeted cloud environments, highlighting the urgent need for robust cloud security measures.
To address these growing threats, Rubrik is excited to unveil a suite of advanced security features designed for data protection in Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services. These new capabilities aim to empower businesses to proactively detect and respond to cyber threats, minimize data exposure, and accelerate recovery efforts.
Rubrik Brings Four Key Advanced Security Features to the Cloud
Rubrik's new advanced security features for Microsoft Azure and AWS are designed to provide a comprehensive solution to address the challenges of cyber threats in cloud environments. By combining these capabilities with Rubrik's immutable, air-gapped, and access-controlled backup solutions, Rubrik aims to offer organizations designed for true cyber resilience.
1. Anomaly Detection
Anomaly Detection monitors your cloud data for suspicious activities such as deletions, modifications, and encryptions. Leveraging machine learning algorithms, Anomaly Detection establishes a baseline for system behavior so it can quickly identify changes in normal patterns and alert you to potential threats. Intuitive visualizations allow easy analysis of attack impact and swift restoration to the most recent clean state.
2. Threat Hunting
Threat Hunting is designed to search your data for indicators of compromise (IoCs) and alert you to suspicious changes by scanning your backups to locate unaffected recovery points, to help reduce time to recovery from hours or days to seconds. In a recent internal test, Turbo Threat Hunting demonstrated its efficiency by scanning an estimated 75,000 backups within 60 seconds, identifying the one affected server and enabling a quick path to recovery.
3. Threat Monitoring
Powered by a curated threat intelligence feed, Threat Monitoring is designed to continuously scan your backup data for indicators of compromise, such as YARA rules and file hashes. This proactive approach enables earlier detection of new threats, minimizing the time they go undetected and reducing the likelihood of severe damage.
Threat Monitoring is designed to be your first alert by automatically scanning for known threats, enabling organizations to confirm a clean recovery point using Threat Hunting and learn whether that specific malware is lurking on other systems. And if the malware payload detonated and encryption occurred, Anomaly Detection is designed to generate alerts for that malicious activity and simplify recovery of only the impacted data.
4. Data Discovery and Classification
Data Discovery and Classification is designed to discover, classify, and report on sensitive data within your cloud environment without impacting production systems. By leveraging pre-built policy templates or creating custom rules, Rubrik aims to empower organizations to identify potential violations of internal compliance policies and manage business requirements related to privacy regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, the California Consumer Privacy Act, and others.
Anomaly Detection is currently available to all Azure and AWS customers. Threat Hunting, Threat Monitoring, and Data Discovery and Classification are planned to be generally available in 2025.
Redefining Cyber Resilience for the Cloud
Expanding Rubrik's advanced security features to Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services aims to provide a comprehensive solution to address the challenges of cyber threats in cloud environments.
