Rubrik Enhances Azure Blob Storage with Comprehensive Cyber Resilience
Customers can safely use the cloud for business agility when all cloud repository data is secure.
Rubrik, Inc. (NYSE: RBRK), the Zero Trust Data Security Company, has unveiled an advanced cyber resilience solution tailored for Microsoft Azure Blob Storage. With cloud reliance growing rapidly, organizations face increasing risks from security blind spots and data vulnerabilities. Rubrik’s innovative approach enhances cyber posture and recovery, providing Azure Blob Storage users with improved visibility, agility, and resilience for their cloud data.
Role of Microsoft Azure Blob Storage
Azure Blob Storage is a vital component of cloud-native operations, offering secure object storage for diverse applications like data lakes, high-performance computing, machine learning, and AI training models. Its ability to manage vast amounts of unstructured data makes it indispensable for sensitive business information, compliance records, and personal data across industries.
“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.”
