Rubrik Zero Labs’ recent study accentuated several hard truths we think are important and warrant a response from Rubrik’s CISO Advisory Board. First, let’s confirm what many of us have already discussed: It’s not fun to be a CISO right now. There’s an overwhelming amount of expectation—from the board to business unit owners—to figure out how to grow and use data, but also keep it secure, and figure out what happens when it’s not.
It goes without saying that organizations must back up their critical data to ensure business continuity in the event of cyber attacks, disasters, operational failures, or insider threats. But are passive backups enough in today’s environment of sophisticated cyber threats? Despite having backups and various security tools to monitor infrastructure, organizations remain vulnerable to attackers who are still managing to penetrate defenses.
There’s a massive elephant in the room: unstructured data. It’s valuable, and it needs to be protected. Let’s talk about why.
What if a malicious attack deleted your Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) objects? Or what if hundreds of objects get deleted across your Microsoft OneDrive account from a rogue script? Think about it. If you’re a large enterprise customer, would you be prepared to rapidly recover from these scenarios at scale?
We’re excited to announce Rubrik as one of the first enterprise backup providers in the Microsoft Security Copilot Partner Private Preview, enabling enterprises to accelerate cyber response times by determining the scope of attacks more efficiently and automating recoveries. Ransomware attacks typically result in an average downtime of 24 days. Imagine your business operations completely stalled for this duration.
