Rubrik Expands Cloud and DevOps Recovery Across AWS, Google Cloud and GitHub
Rubrik announced a round of cloud and developer-platform protection updates Nov. 10, covering AWS applications, Google Cloud analytics and storage, and code hosted in Microsoft Azure DevOps and GitHub.
The announcements accompanied the company's virtual Cloud Resilience Summit. They combine two generally available offerings with additional capabilities still planned for the coming months.
AWS: Application Recovery and More Targeted Repairs
Rubrik's AWS announcement makes Autonomous Business Recovery (ABR) for AWS Cloud Applications generally available. It restores application data and configurations in dependency order from a clean recovery point established before an incident.
Service coverage includes EC2 and RDS, plus EKS containerized applications, ECR, Lambda and S3. Rubrik says its Preemptive Recovery Engine continuously identifies clean recovery points.
Separate planned capabilities will flag deleted cloud resources within seconds, consolidate incident alerts and report whether sensitive information was affected. Rubrik says LLM-based classification will help identify sensitive data.
Surgical recovery for cloud VMs will remove malicious files and roll forward clean changes, reducing the data loss associated with restoring an entire VM to an earlier snapshot. These expanded AWS cyber recovery capabilities are expected to become generally available in the coming months.
"We are delivering continuous cyber resilience from initial detection through complete business recovery," said Anneka Gupta, Rubrik's chief product officer, in the AWS release.
Google Cloud: BigQuery Backup Available Now
The Google Cloud announcement puts agentless, immutable BigQuery backup into general availability. Customers can restore a dataset or an individual table, including views and routines, at petabyte scale.
Recovery options include restoring in place or exporting to another project or region. Backups can reside in a customer's Google Cloud Storage bucket or Rubrik Cloud Vault, with Object Retention Locks providing immutability.
The offering uses incremental backups with periodic full backups and requires no agents or compute deployment. Rubrik describes retention beyond BigQuery's native seven-day time-travel window, with unified compliance reporting, service-level agreement policies and role-based access controls.
Gupta tied recoverability to AI systems' dependence on underlying data. "If that data can be lost or corrupted, the agents can't be trusted," she said in the Google Cloud release.
Expanded protection for Google Cloud Storage remains planned, with general availability expected in the coming months.
DevOps: Investigating and Reversing Malicious Changes
Rubrik's Azure DevOps and GitHub update adds planned cyber recovery capabilities to DevOps Protection Enterprise Edition within Rubrik Security Cloud.
Anomaly detection will baseline platform audit logs and correlate activity with backup metadata to flag suspicious identity behavior. Investigation tools will categorize affected repositories, commits, pipelines, workflows, pull requests and settings. Alerts can feed existing security and ticketing workflows.
"One stolen token or poisoned dependency can impact thousands of repositories before anyone notices," Gupta said in the DevOps release.
The planned surgical recovery workflow will restore attacker-modified assets from air-gapped, immutable backups while retaining legitimate developer work. Rubrik positions that capability as an alternative to manual reconstruction and organization-wide code freezes.
The announcement also describes broader Foundation Edition backup coverage for collaboration data and platform settings, including issues, pull requests, Azure Boards, wikis, packages and organization settings.
The new Azure DevOps and GitHub cyber recovery capabilities are expected to become generally available in the coming months; Rubrik has not specified an exact date.
