Rubrik, Inc. announced a new cyber resilience solution for
Microsoft Azure Blob Storage.
As organizations become increasingly dependent on the cloud, there is
an inherent risk for security blind spots and vulnerable sensitive data.
Rubrik brings cyber posture and cyber recovery to provide Microsoft
Azure Blob Storage customers further visibility into their cloud data,
enabling business agility and resilience.
Microsoft Azure Blob Storage provides secure object storage for
cloud-native workloads, archives, data lakes, high-performance
computing, and machine learning. Optimized for storing massive amounts
of unstructured data, organizations across all industries use Microsoft
Azure Blob Storage as a critical repository for sensitive business
information, personal data, compliance records, and data powering
artificial intelligence (AI) training models.
"Simpson Strong-Tie is dedicated to innovation and superior service in
the construction industry," said John Meng, the VP of IT Infrastructure
& Operations at Simpson Strong-Tie. "Disruptions in business can
affect both our employees and our customers as well as our ability to
provide exceptional service. 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."
"Rubrik Zero Labs
recently found that 70% 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," said Anneka Gupta, Chief
Product Officer at Rubrik. "More shocking is that nearly 90% 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."
"The rise of generative AI and large language models is producing an
explosion of data that needs to be secured," said Aung Oo, General
Manager of Microsoft Azure Storage. "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."
Key benefits of the new services for Microsoft Azure Blob Storage include:
-
Autonomously discover, classify, and provide context on all Microsoft
Azure Blob Storage data, without that source data leaving the customer's
environment.
-
Assess the security posture of sensitive data against security policies and data requirements for your business.
-
Continuously monitor sensitive data within Microsoft Azure Blob Storage
for risky user activity and provide early warning of emerging threats.
-
Identify and remediate redundant Microsoft Azure Blob data to help reduce cloud costs.
-
Support storing backup data to Microsoft Azure Blob Storage Cool and Cold tiers to lower total cost of ownership.
-
Rapidly recover the most recent clean copy using a range of recovery patterns, including object-level and whole container.
Today's announcement is an extension of Rubrik's long-standing
relationship with Microsoft to help customers further strengthen their
cyber resilience.
