Data management company Rubrik has announced a number of data security enhancements to its platform aimed at helping organizations assess the impact of ransomware attacks and automate recovery for business continuity.
Backup software is a core technology in every IT organization, but what has changed is that protecting against ransomware attacks has become "An integral component of a company's cyber resilience strategy," said Greg Smith, vice president of product marketing at Rubrik, in an interview.
SEE: Ransomware attacks are not a matter of if, but when.
Recognizing the silos that often exist between frontline security and operations teams after a ransomware attack, Rubrik is helping to bridge that gap, he said.
"Once those security teams realize their data has been corrupted they have to look to make sure their backups are intact, and to recover from that, they have to work with the operations team," Smith said.
Rubrik has integrated the APIs in its platform with an organization's SOAR platform so that when a ransomware attack is detected, the security ops team has the information its needs from the IT ops team to begin the recovery process, he said.
