Rubrik's new resilience solution will bring cyber recovery abilities to Microsoft Azure Blob Storage.
Zero-trust cyber security firm Rubrik has announced a new partnership with Microsoft to provide Microsoft Azure Blob Storage customers with increased cyber resilience.
New services for Microsoft Azure Blob Storage include the ability to discover and classify data without it leaving the storage environment and monitor that data’s security posture.
Rubrik’s new services also offer continuous monitoring of sensitive data, and the ability to detect and reduce redundant data and therefore cloud costs. Customers can also recover the most recent and clean data copy via a range of fast recovery options.
“Rubrik Zero Labs recently found that 70 per cent of all Rubrik observed data in a cloud environment is object storage, which potentially has far lower security coverage compared to on-premise and SaaS data,” Anneka Gupta, Chief Product Officer at Rubrik, said in a statement.
“More shocking is that nearly 90 per cent of that data is estimated to be either text files or semi-structured files, representing data types that may vary in being machine-readable or covered by prominent security technologies and services. That’s a double whammy – until now.”
Aung Oo, General Manager of Microsoft Azure Storage, said the increasing uptake of generative AI “is producing an explosion of data that needs to be secured.”
“Protecting that torrent of critical AI data at scale in cloud object repositories like Azure Blob Storage requires a purposefully designed cyber resilience solution that Rubrik delivers.”
John Meng, the VP of IT Infrastructure & Operations at Simpson Strong-Tie said that these services are vital to the construction industry.
“Disruptions in business can affect both our employees and our customers as well as our ability to provide exceptional service,” Meng said.
“By leveraging Rubrik’s solutions, including Azure Blob protection, we can ensure comprehensive data protection, compliance, and cyber resilience, which allows us to safeguard sensitive information and provide peace of mind to our employees and customers, knowing that their data is secure.”
