In the ever-evolving world of cybersecurity, dealing with cyberattacks has become a daunting challenge for organizations across the globe. The aftermath of such attacks can be catastrophic, leaving organizations stymied for weeks or even months as they scramble to determine the true scope of an attack through recovering their data and systems. A game-changing partnership between Rubrik and Mandiant is set to turn the tables on these malicious actors, dramatically reducing the entire intrusion lifecycle from initial detection through full recovery – all with the goal of keeping businesses running during ransomware attacks.

I’m tremendously excited about this partnership as it combines best in class technology and expertise. Rubrik is the leading provider of data security and cyber resilience technology, and Mandiant is renowned for its threat intelligence and incident response capabilities. Their teams work the breaches that matter and have unmatched frontline expertise. Together, Rubrik’s technology combined with Mandiant’s expertise aims to empower organizations with an unparalleled level of resilience against cyber threats, ensuring business continuity even in the face of the most sophisticated attacks.

What does this partnership mean for customers?

  1. Stop attackers before they deploy ransomware. Google Threat Intelligence is now directly integrated into Rubrik Security Cloud via Rubrik’s Threat Monitoring capability, available now to all Rubrik Enterprise Edition and Enterprise Proactive Edition customers. Our combined capabilities manifest in hundreds of new malware families per year and over 4,000 threat groups tracked by Mandiant, that can be actively pursued across more than 47 exabytes of data within Rubrik – continuously and automatically.

  2. Get priority incident response support. For Rubrik’s Ransomware Response Team and Mandiant’s incident response team to be fully trained in each other’s offerings and prepared to snap into action to handle intrusions when customers need it the most urgently. In addition, Rubrik customers requiring incident response services will have access to Mandiant Consulting.

  3. Recover confidently and quickly to Google Cloud with minimal business disruption. Regardless of whether an incident has been fully remediated, customers need to be able to quickly recover into a pre-built, malware-free environment in Google Cloud to keep their business running. Both Mandiant and Rubrik believe this new technical capability will bring the full capability across Mandiant expertise and Rubrik technology to bear in an easy-to-field manner that will allow organizations to immediately transfer their operations in the middle of a ransomware event or other crisis.

The greatest challenge in cybersecurity is having all the right tools but lacking the integration to use them effectively under pressure. This partnership solves that profound challenge by aligning best-in-class capabilities into an end-to-end solution that spans cyber threat detection, incident response, and data recovery.
