Security and AI Operations firm Rubrik today announced hosted protection for enterprise unstructured data. The solution utilizes the Rubrik Network Attached Storage Cloud Direct service. Consequently, enterprise clients gain reliable cyber resilience without buying dedicated backup hardware.
“Backups mean nothing if you can’t be confident in a clean recovery, and hardware limitations shouldn’t stand between an enterprise and its resilience,” said Anneka Gupta, Chief Product Officer, Rubrik. “By taking on backup storage and orchestration directly in our cloud, Rubrik reduces infrastructure friction so organizations can protect business-critical NAS systems across vendors under one unified policy.”
Modern organizations depend heavily on critical unstructured data assets like medical scans and design files. When ransomware locks these essential assets, key enterprise applications freeze entirely. Traditionally, protecting local storage required buying, racking, and maintaining complex backup appliances. Rising hardware expenditures force IT teams to choose between physical infrastructure and security budgets.
Rubrik is solving both hardware procurement issues and security-related problems mentioned above. Rubrik manages its cloud storage capacity and updates independently. Hence, security officers will not need to manage policies in the Rubrik Security Cloud while dealing with any hardware.
Advanced Recovery Options Protect Enterprise File Resources
The hosted solution provides necessary functionality to safeguard important unstructured data:
Hosted Storage Infrastructure: Cloud storage and updates are managed by Rubrik. Lightweight software enables local NAS systems to connect to the cloud without using local appliances.
Isolated and Immutable Vaults: All backups are saved in different hosted vaults. Retention locks block any admin account from changing or deleting any saved files.
Multi-Vendor Heterogeneous Recovery: There is one plan for all assets irrespective of hardware vendors. IT professionals can use their skills to recover assets to other arrays or isolated locations.
Automated Ransomware Detection: The anomaly detection will continually analyze every backup. Threat hunting becomes easier for security professionals to identify secure recovery points.
Sensitive Asset Discovery: Continuous scanning of primary file shares through automation. Security professionals will be able to discover sensitive unstructured data and configure retention locks.
Data Migration Capabilities: Copy and Migrate capability migrates unstructured data from one platform to another on a continual basis without compromising protection.
Protection in the Rubrik-hosted platform was generally available from November 3, 2026. However, the feature that allows for discovering data is still in preview mode. The security innovations offered by Rubrik Security Cloud are available for use by security professionals.
