As organizations evolve and modernize, so do cyber threats. Cybercriminals continue to attack the primary data environment of the organizations they target, seeking to compromise data availability and disrupt business operations. But criminal organizations are now developing more sophisticated malware that can compromise the admin account credentials responsible for backup and recovery operations, threatening the recoverability and integrity of backups.
Consequently, you don’t just have to worry about how quickly you can recover business-critical systems; now the accessibility and integrity of your backup data itself can be jeopardized by cyberattacks. Traditional backup and recovery solutions are simply not equipped to withstand such advanced cyber threats.
To address the growing threat of cyber attack (and the security shortcomings of cloud-native backup) Rubrik is excited to announce our latest innovation to help customers enhance their cyber resilience: Rubrik Cloud Vault, built on AWS. This will be available in select North America, South America, Middle East, Asia Pacific, and Australia AWS regions, with availability in the EU and UK coming soon.
Protecting Backups From Downtime and Data Loss
Extended downtime, the potential for irreversible data loss, and the exfiltration of sensitive data are concerns that keep IT professionals awake at night. And cybercriminals are increasingly targeting backups and backup environments because they know that they can cripple an organization's ability to recover if they can compromise this last line of defense.
If you find yourself the victim of a successful attack of this type, you face two dreadful options: accepting prolonged downtime while you attempt to rebuild systems from scratch or paying a ransom to (hopefully) regain access to your data. Neither outcome is favorable.
Rubrik continues our commitment to cyber resilience with Rubrik Cloud Vault, built on AWS. Customers can now securely store backups of both their on-premises workloads and AWS cloud-native workloads in an air-gapped, isolated location, safeguarding them from any attacks that may threaten their primary data environment. This approach protects backup integrity and recoverability, enhancing your cyber resilience while maintaining operational simplicity.
Rubrik Cloud Vault protects your on-premises and cloud-native data in a completely isolated air-gapped AWS tenant, separate from your primary production environment. If your primary systems are compromised, your data remains untouched and readily available for recovery. This ensures business continuity and minimizes downtime, allowing you to quickly restore operations and avoid costly downtime and data loss.
With Rubrik Cloud Vault, you gain peace of mind knowing your data is protected even in the face of sophisticated and evolving cyber threats. Your data is secure and recoverable thanks to this robust protection, so you can stop worrying and focus on your core business.
When you choose Rubrik Cloud Vault, you eliminate the operational burdens of configuring, managing, and maintaining a secure data protection environment. Rubrik handles all the heavy lifting, from initial setup and configuration to continuous security monitoring, patching, and infrastructure maintenance. This frees up your IT team to focus on other critical tasks, like strategic initiatives and innovation, rather than getting bogged down in the day-to-day management of a complex backup and recovery system.
With Rubrik Cloud Vault, you get the benefits of a highly secure, cyber-resilient, and air-gapped data protection environment without the associated overhead. This translates to reduced operational costs, improved efficiency, and increased agility for your IT organization.
Here are some of the key features of Rubrik Cloud Vault for AWS:
Immutable Storage: Rubrik Cloud Vault's immutable storage safeguards your backups from any malicious changes, deletions, or tampering using write-once-read-many (WORM) data storage technology. This WORM approach creates data that cannot be altered or deleted after it's written, making your backups immutable and guaranteeing their integrity. By maintaining an immutable backup copy of your business-critical data, you can safeguard your organization from ransomware attacks, malware, and bad actors, ensuring recovery from a known good source.
Fully Managed Data Protection Solution: Rubik is a managed solution that takes care of your data protection needs, from enterprise-grade security features to continuous monitoring and ongoing maintenance. This eliminates the overhead and burden of procuring, configuring, and managing your own backup infrastructure, freeing up your IT resources to focus on other IT tasks.
Retention Lock: Take control of your backup policies with Rubrik Cloud Vault's Retention Lock feature. This powerful feature allows you to proactively prevent backups from expiring prematurely, providing an extra layer of protection against malicious or accidental changes to your backup policies. With Retention Lock, you can ensure that critical backups are always available, even if your primary systems or backup management tools are compromised. This feature adds an essential safeguard against both internal and external threats, giving you unparalleled control and confidence in your data protection strategy.
Policy-based Retention: With Rubrik, you can define separate backup policies for your on-premises and AWS workloads, dictating how long each backup should be retained and precisely where it should be stored. This allows you to meet diverse compliance requirements and optimize storage costs by tailoring retention periods to the specific needs of your data. Some backups may be meant to allow for rapid recovery from a cyber attack, while others aim to comply with regulatory mandates for long-term archiving; Rubrik provides flexibility with customizable policies to help you meet such recovery objectives in accordance with business-defined SLAs.
Simple Recovery: Rubrik simplifies your restoration process, allowing you to quickly recover data from known good, ransomware-free backups. The intuitive interface and streamlined recovery workflows minimize downtime, enabling you to get your business-critical systems back online fast. Whether you need to restore individual files or entire systems, Rubrik Cloud Vault makes recovery simple and efficient, ensuring business continuity and minimizing the impact should your primary data environment be compromised.
