We are thrilled to announce that Rubrik has been ranked highest for the ransomware protection, detection, and recovery use case in the 2024 Gartner Critical Capabilities for Enterprise Backup and Recovery Software Solutions1.
This recognition underscores our unwavering commitment to innovation that empowers customers with robust cyber resilience solutions in an increasingly complex digital landscape.
The Critical Need for Cyber Resilience
In today's digital age, cyber resilience is not just a luxury—it's a necessity. Our recent Rubrik Zero Labs report revealed a startling statistic: 94% of IT and Security leaders reported their organizations experienced a significant cyberattack last year. Yet, 60% of these leaders expressed concern about their organization's ability to maintain business continuity during a cyberattack2. These numbers highlight the urgent need for comprehensive cyber resilience strategies.
Despite global cybersecurity spending projected to exceed $200 billion, cyber threats continue to evolve and intensify3. Recorded Future reported a 70% increase in ransomware attacks compared to the previous year4. It's clear that a new approach is needed—one that allow businesses to operate even when under attack. This is the essence of cyber resilience and is at the core of Rubrik's mission.

One such area is GenAI. Leaders must implement solutions that leverage GenAI's power to augment disaster recovery and platform security, accelerate the determination of clean recovery points, and provide guided troubleshooting. Rubrik introduced Ruby, the Generative AI companion, to accelerate cyber detection, recovery, and resilience. We're pleased to announce that Rubrik received the highest score of 3.8 for AI/ML capabilities. (1)
According to Gartner, by 2028, 75% of enterprises will prioritize backup of SaaS applications as a critical requirement, compared with 15% in 2024.(1) Many of the largest organizations in the world rely on Salesforce, and Rubrik unveiled Salesforce Data Protection to help keep them up and running.
