Prime Highlights-
- Rubrik launches Autonomous Business Recovery for Cloud Applications, automating full-stack cloud rebuilds after cyberattacks without manual intervention.
- The solution pre-builds recovery plans during normal operations so organisations can trigger an immediate, sequenced rebuild the moment an attack occurs.
Key Facts-
- Rubrik research shows 88% of business leaders are concerned about meeting recovery time objectives as AI-driven threats grow.
- The system restores environments in sequence covering network, compute, data, identity, and configurations from a pre-validated clean point.
Background-
Cybersecurity company Rubrik has launched Autonomous Business Recovery for Cloud Applications, a solution designed to rebuild entire cloud environments after a cyberattack, covering data, networks, identities, and configurations in one automated sequence.
The product targets a gap that Rubrik says legacy backup tools have consistently failed to close. Traditional recovery systems restore individual files or resources but cannot handle the complex web of dependencies that hold modern cloud applications together.
Rubrik’s new solution maps those dependencies in advance and pre-builds recovery plans during normal operations, so when an attack hits, the rebuild is already queued and ready to run.
Anneka Gupta, Chief Product Officer at Rubrik, said restoring data alone does not restore a business. According to Gupta, cloud applications are built on complex layers of software, configurations, access controls, and dependencies, while the rise of machine-speed cyber threats has exposed the limitations of conventional recovery strategies. The goal, she said, is to bring back the minimum viable business first, in the right sequence, from a pre-validated clean point.
Rubrik’s own research shows 88% of business leaders are concerned about meeting recovery time objectives as AI-driven threats continue to grow. The solution runs on Rubrik’s Preemptive Recovery Engine and delivers three core capabilities. It automatically maps every resource in an application stack and keeps that inventory current as environments change.
It lets teams apply backup policies across the full stack from a single interface, removing coverage gaps. When recovery kicks off, the system restores in the correct order, starting with network layers, then compute, then data, without requiring manual scripting.
The end result is what Rubrik calls a Minimum Viable Business restoration at machine speed, giving organisations a way to keep a cyberattack as a disruption rather than a full shutdown.
