Rubrik, a Zero Trust specialist in the cybersecurity space, today announced "advanced user intelligence" on its cloud-hosted security platform.

The new functionality is designed to help organizations become more proactive in the fight against ongoing cyberattacks. New capabilities aim to help organizations prevent such attacks by using time series data and metadata.

"Rubrik's new user intelligence capabilities will utilize time series data recorded over consistent intervals of time in Rubrik Security Cloud to proactively mitigate cyber risk before they can be exploited by cyber criminals," the company said in a news release. "

"Additionally, organizations will have visibility to the types of sensitive data they have, what users have access to the data, how that access has changed over time, and whether that access may pose risk to their business. By gaining more comprehensive visibility into user intelligence, organizations can better determine the root cause for cyberattacks and organizations will be able to proactively identify accidental exposure of data to unauthorized users to minimize damage from cyberattacks."

The company, seeking to deliver cyber resilience across both data and users, said that the protection of corporate credentials are key to this effort. It noted that the company's The State of Data Security report published in April indicated that 100 percent of cloud investigations conducted by Permiso Security in 2022 were the result of compromised credentials.

"For too long, organizations have been susceptible to cyberattacks and users have become a vulnerable entry point," said Bipul Sinha, CEO and co-founder. "Today, we announce capabilities that we believe will enable our customers to become proactive and search for areas of vulnerability to mitigate cyber risk before the attack even happens."
