Rubrik Cloud Vault already provides a high level of cyber resiliency against data deletion, encryption, and exfiltration through air-gapped, immutable, access-controlled backup and archival copies stored in an isolated environment. Now, for added resilience against regional failures and natural disasters, Rubrik Cloud Vault supports Zone-redundant storage (ZRS) and Geo-redundant storage (GRS), complementing our existing Local-redundant storage (LRS) option.

Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General released a report on how the Department could improve its approach to combat ransomware attacks.
