At FORWARD this year, we hosted our inaugural in-person Rubrik Partner Summit, bringing our global partner ecosystem together under one shared theme: Move Forward, Together.
It was a milestone moment for Rubrik and for the partners who help us bring cyber resilience to customers around the world. As organizations face more sophisticated threats, greater operational complexity, and higher expectations for recovery, our partners are often closest to customers when resilience matters most.
That is why I am proud to announce Rubrik's 2026 Global Partner Award winners.
These partners do more than support our mission to secure the world's data, they advance it. They help customers modernize cyber resilience, protect critical data, recover with confidence, and turn resilience from a promise into an outcome.
