Data Security: Empowering Cyber Resilience

Discover how Rubrik’s latest enhancements fortify data protection within Amazon S3, showcasing their commitment to resilient cybersecurity and empowering organizations in safeguarding sensitive information in today’s evolving digital landscape.

Rubrik, the company specializing in Zero Trust Data Security™, has unveiled enhanced measures to fortify the safeguarding of data within Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). With the mounting pressure on organizations to shield their data from accidental deletion, ransomware, and cyber assaults, Rubrik has broadened its suite of offerings. This expansion empowers customers with deeper insights into the locations of sensitive Amazon S3 data and the identities with access privileges. Simultaneously, it facilitates the formulation of robust recovery strategies.

Amazon S3, a prominent object storage service by Amazon Web Services (AWS), is renowned for its unmatched scalability, data availability, security protocols, and high-performance capabilities. Designed to accommodate the storage and retrieval of diverse data volumes from any location, Amazon S3 serves millions of customers across various industries. Its applications span from data lakes to cloud-native and mobile applications.

“Organizations recognize the imperative to protect their corporate data, particularly as
unstructured data expands due to new innovations in AI and increasingly connected devices,”
said Anneka Gupta, Chief Product Officer at Rubrik. “Together, Rubrik and AWS are working
to help customers protect their data on premises and in the cloud while reducing operational
costs, so that organizations can achieve true cyber resilience. We’re proud to continue working
with AWS on our mission to secure the world’s data.”

The latest cyber resilience features from Rubrik encompass air-gapped, immutable, access-controlled backups, and rapid large-scale recovery options specifically tailored for entities handling extensive amounts of Amazon S3 data. These features draw upon the capabilities acquired from Laminar, a leading data security posture management (DSPM) company recently acquired by Rubrik.

The landscape of data protection has become increasingly intricate, as evidenced by the Rubrik Zero Labs State of Data Security report, which revealed a 73% growth in an organization’s cloud-based data over the last 18 months. Key advantages of the new services targeting Amazon S3 and Rubrik customers include:

• Autonomous discovery, classification, and contextual insights into both known and shadow Amazon S3 data within the customer’s environment, without the data leaving their premises.
• Assessment of the security posture of sensitive data against regulatory policies and compliance requisites.
• Continuous monitoring of sensitive Amazon S3 data for potential risky user activities, data leaks, and early identification of emerging threats.
• Identification and resolution of redundant Amazon S3 data to mitigate cloud expenses.
• Expedited recovery of the most recent clean data copies using various recovery patterns, encompassing object-level and entire bucket restoration.

Additionally, Rubrik announced enhanced data protection functionalities for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), amplifying their commitment to providing comprehensive cyber resilience for AWS-based data. Moreover, the availability of Rubrik’s NAS Cloud Direct in the AWS Marketplace aims to broaden access to their solution, simplifying data protection and archival processes for NAS file data on a petabyte scale.

Rubrik’s proactive approach in bolstering data security within Amazon S3 underscores a pivotal shift in safeguarding sensitive information amid evolving cyber threats. With an extensive suite of innovative features tailored to fortify data protection, Rubrik’s collaboration with AWS showcases a steadfast commitment to empowering organizations across industries. As the digital landscape continues to expand, Rubrik’s initiatives pave the way for resilient data protection strategies, ensuring data integrity, accessibility, and recovery for businesses navigating the complexities of the modern technological era.
