Rubrik to deliver cyber resilience solution for Microsoft Azure Blob Storage

New Delhi: Rubrik, Inc., the zero-trust data security company, has announced a new cyber resilience solution for Microsoft Azure Blob Storage.

As organisations 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, the company said in a statement.

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.

“Our long-term partnership with Microsoft offers continuous value to our customers and this is a significant step forward in delivering comprehensive cyber resilience coverage for enterprises who are rapidly adopting Azure” said Abhilash Purushothaman, Vice-President and General Manager of Rubrik (Asia).

“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.

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 and identify and remediate redundant Microsoft Azure Blob data to help reduce cloud costs, the statement said.
