The Critical Need for Cyber Resilience

In today's digital age, cyber resilience is not just a luxury—it's a necessity. Our recent Rubrik Zero Labs report revealed a startling statistic: 94% of IT and Security leaders reported their organizations experienced a significant cyberattack last year. Yet, 60% of these leaders expressed concern about their organization's ability to maintain business continuity during a cyberattack2. These numbers highlight the urgent need for comprehensive cyber resilience strategies.

Despite global cybersecurity spending projected to exceed $200 billion, cyber threats continue to evolve and intensify3. Recorded Future reported a 70% increase in ransomware attacks compared to the previous year4. It's clear that a new approach is needed—one that allow businesses to operate even when under attack. This is the essence of cyber resilience and is at the core of Rubrik's mission.

Empowering Your Data Security Journey

This recognition from Gartner comes on the heels of Rubrik being named five times a leader and five times furthest in vision in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Backup and Recovery Solutions. 

As cyber threats continue to evolve, so will Rubrik. We remain committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation in data security and cyber resilience. Our goal is not just to meet our customers' current needs but also to anticipate and prepare for future challenges.

One such area is GenAI. Leaders must implement solutions that leverage GenAI's power to augment disaster recovery and platform security, accelerate the determination of clean recovery points, and provide guided troubleshooting. Rubrik introduced Ruby, the Generative AI companion, to accelerate cyber detection, recovery, and resilience. We're pleased to announce that Rubrik received the highest score of 3.8 for AI/ML capabilities. (1)

According to Gartner, by 2028, 75% of enterprises will prioritize backup of SaaS applications as a critical requirement, compared with 15% in 2024.(1) Many of the largest organizations in the world rely on Salesforce, and Rubrik unveiled Salesforce Data Protection to help keep them up and running. This new offering is powered by the robust data security capabilities of Rubrik Security Cloud, a unified platform that consolidates data protection across SaaS, cloud, and on-premises environments, simplifying management and enhancing operation efficiency. This offering adds to Rubrik’s existing data protection for SaaS tools like M365 and Jira.
