Rubrik at Microsoft Ignite 2024: Total Cyber Resilience in a Hybrid Cloud World

It's just a fact of modern enterprise computing: cloud adoption expands attack surfaces and operational complexity. And this has a real-world impact, with 94% of cloud tenants experiencing targeted attacks last year and more than 60% suffering compromises.

These new cloud vulnerabilities are merging with existing on-prem vulnerabilities. As organizations navigate the complexities of hybrid cloud environments, ensuring robust data security is paramount.

Rubrik's integrated approach offers proactive defense for the hybrid cloud era. Our solutions unify backup, recovery, and data security across Azure and Microsoft 365, simplifying operations and strengthening protection within the Microsoft ecosystem.

At Microsoft Ignite 2024, Rubrik is excited to announce five key innovations designed to enhance hybrid cloud cyber resilience:

1. Azure Blob Protection: Setting a New Standard for Data Resilience

Rubrik introduces comprehensive protection for Azure Blob and Azure Data Lake Gen2, offering immutable, compressed backups across all storage tiers. By utilizing Azure Tags and Global SLA Domains, enterprises can safeguard critical assets across multiple regions and tenants, ensuring data remains secure against emerging threats. Rubrik's new data protection capabilities for Microsoft Azure Blob Storage are now generally available.

2. Microsoft 365 Copilot Readiness: Enabling Secure Collaboration

In collaboration with Microsoft 365 Copilot, Rubrik assists organizations in accelerating secure Copilot adoption by identifying over-privileged or unlabeled sensitive data in Microsoft 365. Our Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) capabilities help prevent unauthorized access, fostering a secure environment for collaboration. Learn more.

3. Integration with Microsoft Copilot for Security

Rubrik aims to be among the first enterprise backup providers to integrate with Microsoft Copilot for Security. This partnership is designed to enable rapid threat detection and automated recovery processes, empowering organizations to stay ahead of evolving cyber risks.

4. Enhanced Microsoft 365 Backup Storage Integration

Microsoft 365 Backup Storage protects over 2 billion new documents added daily, and Rubrik's integration with Microsoft 365 Backup Storage offers rapid recovery options and advanced security across Exchange Online, SharePoint, and OneDrive for Business. Automated recovery for Microsoft Entra ID, including users, groups, roles, and permissions, ensures centralized, resilient data protection.

5. Data Security Monitoring for Azure Cloud-Native Protection

Leveraging machine learning, Rubrik provides anomaly detection for Azure VM, Managed Disk, and Blob data. By discovering and classifying sensitive information, organizations can proactively manage exfiltration risks, ensuring confidence in their Azure cloud-native infrastructure.
