IDENTITY RESILIENCE FOR ACTIVE DIRECTORY AND ENTRA ID

Protect & Recover Active Directory and Entra ID

When attackers own identity, access to resources breaks and business stalls. With Rubrik Identity Resilience, restore Active Directory (AD) and Entra ID to a verified clean and current state. Remove attacker persistence and roll forward legitimate changes to get multi-IdP systems back in hours, not weeks.

Protect & Recover AD and Entra ID before an Identity Incident becomes a Business Outage
Restore your hybrid identity estate. Recover clean and current. All in a single console.
Identity Resilience
Scan for Threats. Surface Risk. Recover Fast.
Proactively scan AD backups for threats, surface unsafe configurations, and identify a clean point to recover. Start quickly with out-of-the-box policies and alerts or configure your own. Automatically discover domains, domain controllers, FSMO roles, DNS, and DHCP. Build ready-to-go recovery plans that you can trigger during an incident.

Identity-First Recovery (IFR) for AD
Proactively check AD snapshots for known IoCs and confidently select a known-good point in time. Scan the target OS for risk and make sure it’s clean. Introduce the extracted ntds.dit, SYSVOL, and AD-integrated DNS into a clean Windows instance, enabling portability across on-prem, hypervisors, and cloud. Cut RTO up to 56%.

Roll Forward
Erase Persistence, Not Progress
Recover to a clean and current state for AD and Entra ID. Remove attacker footholds. Rubrik’s Identity Intelligence Fabric aggregates context from authoritative systems like ITDR (CrowdStrike/Microsoft Defender), IGA (Sailpoint), and HRIS (Workday) to avoid manually cross-referencing spreadsheets. Review unexplained activities and roll forward only legitimate changes. Keep months of business progress.

Dependency-Aware Identity Recovery
Recovery that keeps relationships intact
A restored object that gets a net-new SID or GUID breaks the groups, applications, and sync links pointing to the original. Rubrik solves this by restoring objects with all attributes and dependencies intact. Better yet, you can compare entire objects or individual attributes against both snapshots and live data, allowing you to execute granular recoveries and isolate only the specific attributes that need to be reverted.

M365
Could you recover Microsoft 365 after an identity compromise?
Attackers take over Microsoft 365 by compromising identity. Restore data without removing them from Active Directory and Entra ID, and they walk back in. Recover identity clean separately from the data, and the access can break, further slowing recovery. With Identity Resilience you can:
Recover identity and data together. Restore Entra ID, Active Directory, and Microsoft 365 from one platform, in the right order, with user access restored so people can get back to work.
Remove the attacker, keep the progress. Strip attacker persistence from Entra ID without losing legitimate changes made since the breach.
Protect more of Entra ID. Go beyond users, groups, and roles to cover Conditional Access Policies, App Registrations, Governance Policies, and Intune Settings.

Resilience for your Hybrid AD and Entra ID Identity Estate
Fragmented tooling and disconnected workflows slow incident response and increase risk. With RSC, you can protect AD and Entra ID for consistent defense and dependency-aware recovery no matter the threat.
ADFR: Recover in Hours, not Weeks

An attacker compromises an AD domain controller and starts encrypting connected systems. Native ADFR guidance runs 100+ pages and 20+ manual steps. One missed step means starting over while the business stays down. Rubrik fixes this:

  • Automatically scan backups for IoCs. Detect malicious changes via integrations with third parties and monitor activity in the IdP
  • Orchestrate ADFR to a clean state with a 5-click AD recovery wizard
  • Recover individual DCs back to the same host. Conduct ADFR and recover to new Windows hosts, cloud VMs, or bare metal infrastructure.|
  • Roll Forward legitimate changes that happened since compromise

Entra ID: Granular or Full-Tenant Restore

An attacker compromises an admin account and silently alters conditional access policies. Entra's 30-day Recycle Bin is limited; it doesn’t catch hard deleted objects (including objects that don't support soft delete) and doesn't capture policy changes. Discovering broken object dependencies during crunch time means delayed recovery. With Rubrik, you can:

  • Run granular, dependency-aware object recovery so that identity data comes online correctly the first time and access doesn’t break
  • Recover cross-tenant to a standby Entra ID tenant
  • Recover Intune policies, LAPS passwords, BitLocker recovery keys, machine metadata, and governance configs alongside Entra ID. Avoid a disruptive full-tenant restore.
  • Restitch Entra ID and M365 data so that identity and access to resources come online together

“Without the ability to go back to a verified clean point in time and roll forward without the attacker's changes, you cannot confirm it is actually over. That uncertainty is what immutable backup and point-in-time recovery solves.”

FAQ
Everything you need to know
bg-surface-muted
How does Rubrik Identity Resilience improve Active Directory Forest Recovery (ADFR)?
Traditional ADFR relies on over 100 pages of Microsoft guidance and 29+ manual steps, where one mistake can force you to start over. Rubrik automates ADFR with a five-click AD recovery wizard. With Rubrik, you can cut recovery times from weeks or days down to just hours.
Can I recover to a clean state without losing legitimate changes made since the attack?
Yes. Roll Forward recovers AD and Entra ID to a clean and current state. Rubrik’s Identity Intelligence Fabric pulls context from ITDR (CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender), IGA (SailPoint), and HRIS (Workday). Remove attacker footholds and roll forward only legitimate changes, keeping months of business progress.
How does Rubrik protect Entra ID beyond the native 30-day Recycle Bin?
The Entra ID Recycle Bin is limited to 30 days. It doesn’t support hard-deleted objects and doesn’t capture policy changes. Rubrik covers users, groups, and roles, plus Conditional Access Policies, App Registrations, Governance Policies, and Intune settings. You can run dependency-aware, granular recovery or recover cross-tenant to a standby Entra ID tenant.
