Every year, more of your critical workloads run on Google Cloud. Managed databases are now essential for running core applications. AI agents are making real decisions in real time.

But cloud growth expands the attack surface, and the stakes for getting it wrong keep increasing.

At Google Cloud Next this week, Rubrik is announcing two new capabilities built for exactly this moment: enterprise-grade cyber resilience for Google Cloud SQL and a control layer for AI agents running on Gemini Enterprise.

 

Cyber Resilience for Google Cloud SQL, Without the Trade-offs

Google Cloud SQL is a great managed database platform and Google has invested heavily in native data protection to go with it. But as your Cloud SQL estate grows, so do the security requirements. Suddenly, you need immutable backups that complement your Disaster Recovery setup. You need data retention that actually meets compliance requirements. You need data protection that covers every instance (including the ones your team provisioned with Terraform last week).

Rubrik can help. Starting with PostgreSQL, Rubrik delivers cyber resilience for Google Cloud SQL with immutable, automated backups that work with your existing architecture—and keep your data recoverable when it matters most.

Keep your DR, add immutable backups: You don’t have to choose between cyber resilience and disaster recovery. If you're running disaster recovery replicas alongside Cloud SQL, Rubrik's backup runs independently of your replication strategy. Your existing DR setup stays exactly as it is and your immutable backups sit on top of it. No architecture changes are required. Backups are air-gapped and immutable. So if ransomware hits your primary environment, your recovery points stay intact and recoverable.

Every instance gets protected, however it was provisioned: Most enterprise production environments are built with Infrastructure as Code. Terraform, gcloud CLI, APIs—that's the norm. Rubrik auto-discovers every Cloud SQL instance across your estate, regardless of how it was created, and applies your existing policy automatically. You configure it once and every instance that spins up after is covered.

Retention that matches what compliance actually demands: Highly regulated industries like healthcare and financial services often need to retain records for 15 years or longer. Rubrik doesn't cap retention. Set retention to meet your compliance team's requirements with no restrictions. For organizations with geographic data residency requirements or offsite copy mandates, Rubrik supports multi-region protection with independent retention policies per region.

Less manual work managing databases at scale: With tag-based SLA assignment, you can tag your instances and set a policy that applies across the group. If you change the policy, it instantly updates across all instances—no per-instance detach and re-attach cycles. No backups pausing while you make the change.

You also get to choose your storage class—Archive, Coldline, or Nearline—based on how often you actually access the data. Backups you're keeping for compliance purposes don't need to live on hot storage.

Everything runs from the same platform where you already protect Google Compute Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine, and Google Workspace. One place to manage it all.

 

Keep Your AI Agents From Going Off Script

Your databases and your AI agents share the same Google Cloud environment. That matters more than it might seem.

AI adoption on Google Cloud is moving fast. Gemini Enterprise gives your teams a powerful foundation to build on. But speed creates risk. What happens when an agent does something it shouldn't? What if a coding agent wiped a production database or a support agent emailed users the wrong login instructions and tanked customer trust. A hijacked agent can use native tools to exfiltrate API keys. 

These are things that have already happened at real companies. They weren't bugs—they were actions that executed exactly as triggered, with no way to roll them back.

Rubrik Agent Cloud is an enterprise control layer built for the full AI agent lifecycle. It now supports Google Gemini Enterprise.

Know what your agents are doing: Rubrik auto-discovers agents built on Gemini. You get a single view of all discovered active agents, what data and identities they can access, and an audit trail of what they have done. Most organizations can't answer these basic questions today. Rubrik gives you that visibility from day one.

Put guardrails in place before something goes wrong: With Rubrik, you can write policies in plain language that define how agents should behave, what tools they can use, and what they're allowed to access. Rubrik monitors agents in real time and blocks violations before they execute. The rules are yours. The enforcement is automatic.

Undo the damage when something does go wrong: Rubrik Agent Rewind lets you roll back destructive agent actions precisely, without significant downtime or data loss. It's the same recovery foundation Rubrik has built for ransomware protection, applied to AI. You're not slowing down your Gemini deployments. You're making sure a bad outcome doesn’t become permanent.

Built for Where Google Cloud is Heading

The need for protected managed databases and governance for autonomous AI is growing. Both require enterprise resilience.
