Rubrik announced new integrations and recovery capabilities for Microsoft environments at Microsoft Ignite 2025, unveiling updates across agentic AI management, Microsoft 365 business recovery, and DevOps protection. The company detailed expanded support for Microsoft Copilot Studio through Rubrik Agent Cloud, along with new services designed to restore core workflows, data, and development pipelines after cyber incidents or outages.

Rubrik Expands Agentic AI Controls Through Copilot Studio Integration
Rubrik introduced new capabilities in Rubrik Agent Cloud intended to accelerate enterprise adoption of AI agents built with Microsoft Copilot Studio. The service automatically discovers and monitors agents operating across Microsoft 365, including OneDrive and SharePoint, while providing centralized governance and rollback capabilities.

The company said the integration is designed to help organizations scale AI agents while managing risk associated with automated actions across business data and workflows. Devvret Rishi, Rubrik's general manager of AI, said, "AI agents are proliferating across organizations at unprecedented speed, and are accelerating with tools like Copilot Studio. IT and security teams alike are challenged to both multiply the use of AI agents while simultaneously managing and controlling the compounding risk they present."

Rubrik Agent Cloud adds monitoring, governance, and remediation features covering the AI agent lifecycle. Agent Monitor provides automatic discovery of new agents, continuous activity tracking, and audit trails using Microsoft and Azure-native logs. Agent Govern offers usage tracking, performance evaluation, and real-time policy enforcement for agent behavior and access. Agent Remediate integrates Agent Rewind, announced earlier this year, enabling precise rollback of unwanted or destructive AI-driven actions.

Rubrik said the integration is available through limited early access as part of Rubrik Agent Cloud.

New Intelligent Business Recovery for Microsoft 365
The company also announced Intelligent Business Recovery for Microsoft 365, a service designed to restore mission-critical users and workflows after a cyberattack or outage. Rubrik described current recovery practices as lacking business context, leading to prolonged downtime because of narrow, workload-specific restoration.

Intelligent Business Recovery analyzes protected Microsoft 365 assets, including Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams, to determine which users and data are essential for operational continuity. The service can identify priority users, assess critical workflows, and automatically restore the minimum viable business environment while full recovery continues in the background.

Chief Product Officer Anneka Gupta said, "Rubrik's new AI and cyber resilience tools make it easy and fast to prioritize and restore your most important assets from code repositories to Microsoft 365, that are at the core of an enterprise's operations, so customers can keep businesses operating while full data recovery is in process."

Rubrik said the Microsoft 365 recovery capability is expected to become available in the coming months.

DevOps Protection for Azure DevOps and GitHub
Rubrik further introduced DevOps Protection for Azure DevOps and GitHub, addressing risks to source code, infrastructure-as-code artifacts, and AI/ML pipelines. The company noted that DevOps environments have become significant targets for attackers and may also suffer from flawed code commits introduced by AI agents.

DevOps Protection provides automated policy-based protection for repositories and CI/CD pipelines, along with air-gapped immutable backups. The service supports granular restores of individual repositories and includes security controls such as Retention Lock, Quorum Authorization, and Role-Based Access Control.

Rubrik said the DevOps offering is planned for availability in the coming months.

Availability
Rubrik is showcasing the new integrations and services at Microsoft Ignite 2025 in San Francisco. Several features are in early access or expected in future releases, and the company noted that unreleased capabilities may not become generally available.
